Dennis: The childhood part of my life Wasn't very pretty, see... Temptations: Boom, boom-boom, boom Dennis: I was born and raised In the slums of the city, Temptations: Boom, boom-boom, boom Dennis: It was a one-room shack That slept ten other children beside me, Temptations: Boom, boom-boom, boom Dennis: We hardly had enough food Or room to sleep Temptations: Boom, boom-boom, boom Dennis: It was hard times... I needed somethin' to ease my troubled mind

Paul: Hmmmm listen... My father didn't know the meaning of work Temptations: Boom, boom-boom, boom Paul: He disrespected mama, And treated us like dirt Temptations: Boom, boom-boom, boom Paul: I left home seeking a job That I never did find Temptations: Boom, boom-boom, boom Paul: Depressed and down-hearted And I took to cloud nine Temptations: Boom, boom-boom, boom

Paul: I'm doing fine Up here, on cloud nine Paul: Listen, one more time Paul: I'm doing fine Up here, on cloud nine Dennis: Folks down there tell me...

Dennis: They say give yourself a chance,son, don't let life pass you by, Temptations: Woo, woo, woo-oo Dennis: that the world of reality's a rat race Where only the strongest survive, It's a dog-eat-dog world And that ain't no lie, Temptations: Ain't no lie Dennis: It ain't even safe no more To walk the streets at night

Eddie: I'm doing fine Temptations: On cloud nine

Dennis: Let me tell you 'bout cloud nine... Temptations: Cloud nine Paul: You can be what you want to be Temptations: Cloud Nine Dennis: You ain't got no responsibility Temptations: Cloud Nine Eddie: And every man, every man is free Temptations: Cloud nine Dennis: You're a million miles from reality Otis: Reality

Temptations: I wanna' stay up Eddie and Otis: Higher Temptations: Up up, Up and away

Temptations: Cloud nine

Eddie: I wanna' say I love the life I live, And I'm going to Eddie/Otis: live, the life I love Eddie: Up here on cloud nine... I, I, I, I, I, I'm ridin' high Temptations: On cloud nine

Dennis: You're as free as a bird in flight Temptations: Cloud nine Melvin: There's no difference between day and night Temptations: Cloud nine Eddie: It's a world of love and harmony Temptations: Cloud nine Dennis: You're a million miles from reality Otis: Reality

Temptations: I wanna' stay up Eddie and Otis: Higher Temptations: Up up, up and away

Temptations: Cloud Nine Paul: You can be what you want to be, ah Temptations: Cloud nine Dennis: You ain't got no responsibility Temptations: Cloud nine Eddie: Every man in his mind is free Temptations: Cloud nine Dennis: You're a million miles from reality Temptations: Cloud nine Paul: You can be what you want to be

Temptations: all of them weave in and out with ad libs and choruses of "Boom-booms"

Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved: 15 other songs called "Cloud Nine" or "Cloud 9" at the disambiguation page. DrKiernan (talk) 19:36, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cloud Nine (The Temptations song) → Cloud Nine (song) – This is the only song in Wikipedia with this name. If the move goes through, I suggest adding a redirect note at the top of the page linking back to Cloud Nine for other uses of the term. Even if other songs by this name eventually get articles, this will still likely remain as the primary topic among songs. Hoops gza (talk) 23:15, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Sorry Hoops gza, most of your moves make sense, but for these songs, I guess I don't see the removal of a clear disambiguating title "( )" to be of great benefit to anyone. Yes this song is still well known, still second bestselling to Cloud 9 by a different artist in Amazon's 400 plus mp3 returns for "Cloud Nine," yes the others don't have articles, but where is it written in stone that articles can only disambiguate in the universe of stand-alone-articles. I'm guessing that "Cloud 9" by other artistes occurs in text body of their articles, and again even if it doesn't what actual benefit is removing "(The Temptations song)" from title?

Support, per WP:PRECISION: "Use only as much additional detail as necessary. For example, it would be inappropriate to title an article "Queen (rock band)", as Queen (band) is precise enough to distinguish the rock band from other uses of the term Queen." I don't count the Evanescence song because it is just noise. Kauffner (talk) 19:38, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
