I just entered the "Get All Excited" instance from FolkCele, but when I click on the title "Get All Excited" I don't find the identical refrain as given in AAHH2001 nor the version in HFG1976. It seems to me that a Text Name search for "get all excited" should bring up all three instances, but it doesn't. I don't have HFG1976 at hand, so I can't check to see if it has the stanza"s" (FolkCele says "Stanzas" but only gives one stanza) and the editor who entered it failed to identify the Refrain as such, or whether (like AAHH2001) it only has the part of the text that FolkCele calls "Chorus", which I entered as Refrain.

It appears that AAHH2001 and HFG1976 versions both do not include the stanza, only the refrain itself. HFG1976 indicates in the Topics that this is a Chorus. It is proper to make a separate text authority for the stanza. But since the tune is the same, the tunes should be under one authority. I've already merged them. A search for "Get all excited" brings up the result "Get all excited" with 2 instances that are just the chorus, and "You talk about people" with the refrain "Get all excited" with 1 instance.

Thanks! It would be helpful to "outsiders", though, if a "text name" search could somehow be made to include the version with the stanza, since its Title is "Get all excited", and the uninitiated rarely have much awareness of the distinction between "Title", "Text Name", and "First Line". I.e. they may be looking for the stanza but only know the title. Well, you know what I mean...

A search for "Get All Excited" in the Text Name box searches the first line, refrain first line, and title. Therefore the version with the stanza appears in the results.

Thanks!
