Judas[edit]

What was Judas's motivation in criticizing Jesus about the "300 silver pieces or more" that they could have raised if they sold the ointment in question? Was he really planning on giving it to the poor? Or (as Jesus seemingly hints: "Look at the good things you've got") was he planning on keeping some of that money for himself? --Uncle Ed (talk) 15:41, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Song quote[edit]

Woman your fine ointment, brand new and expensive Should have been saved for the poor. Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe Three hundred silver pieces or more. People who are hungry, people who are starving They matter more than your feet and hair!

Bible quote[edit]

Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, 5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? 6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

Webber/Rice categories[edit]

Why should this song be categorised in Category:Songs with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Category:Songs with lyrics by Tim Rice when it's already in Category:Songs from Jesus Christ Superstar which is in both those Webber/Rice categories. In other words, such categorisation will make this song appear (correctly) in the category "Songs from Jesus Christ Superstar" and its parent categories, "Songs with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber" and "Songs with lyrics by Tim Rice". Such a scheme contradicts WP:SUBCAT. I suggest to remove those two Webber/Rice categories. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 09:59, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that removing the categories Category:Songs with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Category:Songs with lyrics by Tim Rice from Category:Songs from Jesus Christ Superstar is the answer. As pointed out at Category talk:Songs from Jesus Christ Superstar, those categories had been added there according to Wikipedias principles of categorisation; WP:SUBCAT. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 00:15, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Singles?[edit]

Is it possible the infobox is conflating the 1970 album track with Yvonne Elliman's 1971 single of the song?

The infobox mentions a 1970 Decca/MCA "Single by Yvonne Elliman, Ian Gillan, Murray Head and Ensemble".

Yvonne Elliman released a Decca/MCA single of the song in 1971, but I can't find any details for a 1970 single.

If the 1970 single exists, can we have a serial no. or something to verify it?

From label details on Elliman's 1971 single it is an edit of the 1970 album track, but it is credited solely to her (no mention of Head and Gillan).

If that's the case, it would be wrong to date the single as 1970, even if it was recorded then.

If, as I suspect, Elliman's voice only appears on the single, it would also be wrong to credit all three singers for the single.

The track timing given here, of 5:14, looks more like the album track, as the Decca/MCA single issues show 3:05. Lyn50 (talk) 01:36, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
