- The music built to a spiraling crescendo, a triumphant finale that seemed to echo throughout the galaxy. --Skippy Farlstendoiro 09:38, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I read over this before but somehow forgot to vote. —Xwing328(Talk) 05:00, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
--Eyrezer 05:14, 1 June 2009 (UTC)- While this particular piece of music got old very fast while playing SWG, I still like it. OLIOSTER

Object
- Skippy likes BTS and provides BuTS:
Can't you provide a single in-universe quote?- No, there aren't any. - Lord Hydronium 07:38, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- Suggestion: Empire Blues: The Devaronian's Tale is told in first person. Thus: {{Quote|For the life of me it seemed the universe had conspired to keep me from enjoying the music. First the band squabbled with each other, and then when they, finally got going, with a nice upbeat rendition of "Mad About Me," some old fool chopped up another fool- with a lightsaber, of all frozen things-and interrupted it.|Labria|Empire Blues: The Devaronian's Tale}}. Accept or reject this proposal, and then I'll strike this objection.--Skippy Farlstendoiro 07:49, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- Our quote CT, though, says that only things that are explicitly labeled as spoken or written dialogue can be quotes. Unlike, say, I, Jedi, we have no evidence that Empire Blues is anything but Labria's thoughts, so his narration wouldn't be an acceptable quote. - Lord Hydronium 07:59, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- Anything in first person would automatically be IU, though, so there's no reason it couldn't be. Kardue'sai'malloc uses it like that. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 21:15, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- This is the CT I'm referring to. Since it's not spoken dialogue, this would apply - "Text that is clearly presented within the confines of someone's memoirs, journal, or diary" - except Empire Blues isn't clearly presented as such. It's first-person, but there's no sign of whether it's his personal thoughts or an actual statement he's making. - Lord Hydronium 21:35, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Could we get some audio file? I was thinking of a low-quality recording of the first few seconds, ogg extension. But I'll settle with a reasonable argument about why it cannot be done.- Low-quality ogg of the first few seconds added. - Lord Hydronium 09:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you. --Skippy Farlstendoiro 07:30, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- Aziz
Should we mention the "Play that same song again" skit from Family Guy: Blue Harvest in BTS?- I think that's a little on the trivia side.
- I'd tend to agree with Hydro on this one. --Eyrezer 09:18, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I have a feeling this is/was a playable tune for the "Entertainer" class of players in Star Wars Galaxies, but i'm not subscribed to the game any more to check it out myself.(Posted May 12th)- Yep, added, as well as its other Galaxies appearances. - Lord Hydronium 00:18, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Vote to strike objection (Inq only)
This is for Aziz' two objections, which Hydro has responded to and there has been no reply for 2 weeks. --Eyrezer 05:19, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
As much I was hoping our Australian friend would return to check on this, a single user's absence shouldn't delay FAs. Atarumaster88 (Talk page) 05:31, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Oops sorry guys, i didn't realise i was required to strike the objections myself. Sorry for the holdup! --Azizlight 01:45, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Per IRC consensus.—Tommy9281
