The keyboards sound a lot like Ray Manzarek's. If so it could be added to the article. If not, then fine.-- h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 14:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
It samples Stand By Me, doesn't it? U-Mos ( talk) 20:16, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
The keyboard riffs are pretty obviously borrowed from the Cannonball Adderley/Joe Zawinul song "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy", recorded in 1966. And I dont mean "sounds like". I mean its exactly the same thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.251.27.158 ( talk) 21:26, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
The music is also similar to BLUE ADONIS' DISCO COP [

It says OneRepublics song Mercy is a cover of this song. But these songs are not the same, and besides, OneRepublic's songwas released in 2007, and Duffy's song in 2008. So I'm removing this claim from the page. Daniel Berglund ( talk) 01:56, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Removed this section, entitled Covers:
Live performance covers don't seem to belong here (unless they were at the Olympic Opening Ceremony!), particularly in view of the above dispute over One Republic. What do you think?

When i heard this song for a first time i noticed the backsound. Something very familiar, that i heard long time ago. I started to reproduce that old song - "I can't have enough of you babeee... I can't get enough of you babee... Can't get enough of you babee" I searched the Youtube and came up with this - [4]
There's no source to back this up. Also, the total views of the many Mercy clips I could find on Youtube is nowhere near 3 million. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.67.104.188 ( talk) 00:03, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
I thought this song contained a sample of ben E. Kings "Stand By Me". I'll look it up, unless someone else has some info on it. 69.209.216.235 ( talk) 04:14, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
I can't find sales certifications for "Mercy" in any countries apart from the ones already listed. Is there a website anyone can recommend that will list them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sebmcateer ( talk • contribs) 11:49, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Mercy (song)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Mercy (song) → Mercy (Duffy song) – Kanye West has released a song of the same name. Unreal7 ( talk) 21:17, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Mercy (song) → Mercy (Duffy song) – Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Songs#Naming, "If there is more than one song article with a title then disambiguate by putting the artist name in the title to make '<song name> (<artist name> song)', for example 'Because (The Beatles song)'."
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I propose that Dancing Queen (Girls' Generation song) be merged into Mercy (Duffy song). I think that the content in the "Dancing Queen" article can easily be explained in the context of "Mercy", and the "Mercy" article is of a reasonable size that the merging of "Dancing Queen" will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. As the article on the Girls' Generation re-recording of the Duffy song mentions, it is a mere cover version, and what seems to be the norm here on wikipedia is to keep all versions of a song restricted to one article. Chsf ( talk) 18:44, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
PS. Here's 4 more examples I could easily find which show merges from different languages.
Cheers. -- Richhoncho ( talk) 12:37, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
