:The resemblance to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is obvious! I for one am sick and tired of the idea that a self-evident truth constitutes "original research." [[User:Kostaki mou|Kostaki mou]] ([[User talk:Kostaki mou|talk]]) 02:40, 28 July 2021 (UTC) |

I've heard that The Ramones has recorded this song too... I'm not Really sure anyway, you migth add something Angel C. From Mx
This song, sung by Satchmo, is on the 1961 album "The Real Ambassadors", done by the Brubecks. The current write-up makes it sound like the first recording was 1968.
Bob Brown
unappropriate for airplay? their logic escapes me
but: the katanga recording exists and is on several compilations or katanga-cds. and it really sounds like 1960 or even earlier. see http://www.discogs.com/Louis-Armstrong-The-Katanga-Concert/release/1061500 on iTunes it is the versions with around 2:35 instead of 2:18 - so two ways: 1. all the labels which issued it were wrong about when katanga really happened and it actually happened after 1967 AND louis recorded with intent to let it sound 10 years older 2. the whole article is wrong --2003:63:2A42:8047:ACEA:6C3:A452:E693 (talk) 21:54, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ok finally found it: "what a wonderful world" on katanga-cds seems to be betray for cash-in. it's actually a recording from: The Jackie Gleason Show (episode 2.16) (TV) December 30, 1967, Miami, FL

wonderful version by the way--2003:63:2A42:8047:ACEA:6C3:A452:E693 (talk) 23:20, 17 October 2014 (UTC) here it is : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2VCwBzGdPM&spfreload=10199.68.218.196 (talk) 10:40, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
ok I'll give this another try... I think what a wonderful world is "inspired" by twinkle twinkle little star. I found midi files and combined them, the melodies and song structures totally match, except that what a wonderful world has a slower tempo. I uploaded the combined midi here: http://midishrine.com/midi/11702.mid . Decide for yourself and include this info in the article if you want. I'm not gonna edit the article itself since my edits were reverted before. Thank you. 85.103.227.104 21:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For the line "The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night" I noticed that in Joey Ramone's version, it is "Bright blessed days, dark sacred nights." Should this be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.218.12.31 (talk) 06:16, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know Joan Baez frequently plays "Wonderful World", a song written by Sam Cooke, Herb Alpert and Lou Adler, but not this one. I added a {{Dubious}} template. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 12:02, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In the main body of the text it says that the song was written by Bob Thiele, George David Weiss, and George Douglas, and that it has been suggested that 'George Douglas' was a pseudonym used by Dana Pelkie, because George Douglas hadn't been heard of before or since. But in the infobox it seems to imply that George Douglas was the pseudonym used by Bob Theile. Either the main text or the infobox needs changing but I dunno which...

Removed this from the article, because it doesn't lead to any lyrics, just to a download site. Faedrivin (talk) 17:58, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i would suggest a revision of the genre section.

I had thought that WAWW was much older and it troubled me that Louis was voicing such sentiments before, e.g., the Civil Rights Act. But no! It came later and I now can see him thinking "wow....maybe things will be better now". His gifts will be with us always. Thank you, Messrs Theil, Weiss and Armstrong!

So we've got a section titled "Notable versions", but what's the criterion for being on this list? It's way too long and not very notable, a lot of the time. Pruning is needed. --jpgordon::==(o) 14:16, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
where is the text of this famous song???? why isnt it here in words writen???? oh my god!! --77.56.118.154 (talk) 17:26, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Podcast with Ricky Riccardi of the Louis Armstrong House Museum, who unsurprisingly seems to have done extensive research about this number, makes some statements about dubious or simply wrong statements in the current version this Wikipedia article.

It will soon be two years that the "IMDB" banner has been in place over these tables. And in that time, only one sourced item has been added (not counting the one that is sourced to another Wikipedia article). I propose to simply eliminate the two tables and wait for interested editors to take the time to find proper sourcing for these entries. And given the very large number of times that the song has been used in film and television, we might also want to discuss whether there should be some inclusion criteria for getting listed in a table here.
