Some Confusion With The Soundtrack Listing

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0578843/soundtrack

*I did use air quotes in the title of the song, but it got misunderstood on what is meant to be the title and what is meant to be something quoted within the tit;e with the symbols.

Hi @CuriousUserX90 -

To clarify, is the following the correct format:

The Ferals'

"Homeless Animals" (Telethon Song)
Performed by Emma De Vries and Terry Ryan
Or is "Telethon Song" part of the song title text (e.g., "Homeless Animals (Telethon Song)"?

Telethon Song is part of the song title text.

Curious: Normally the song title should be the first line of a Soundtrack entry which is shown in boldface. However, this entry at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0578843/soundtrack/ has The Ferals' (note apostrophe at the end) as the first line and in boldface. I suspect that's not what you intended.

The entry should probably just read as follows:

"Homeless Animals (Telethon Song)"

Performed by [link=nm1122168] and [link=nm0752867]

with the two links representing Emma De Vries and Terry Ryan respectively. That would display as:

Homeless Animals (Telethon Song)
Performed by Emma De Vries and Terry Ryan

The title is supposed to be "The Ferals' "Homeless Animals" Telethon Song", note why I would put air quotes in the title/

In that case, I recommend waiting for the staff to advise as to what kind of quotation marks you should use when entering the title.

I take it that your goal is for the title to display as:

The Ferals' "Homeless Animals" Telethon Song

or possibly

The Ferals' 'Homeless Animals' Telethon Song

but I don't know how to guarantee that it will display in either of these versions.

Hi @CuriousUserX90 & All -

I can see that this is less of a formatting issue and more of a display issue, as our system cannot properly handle to combination of an apostrophe and quotation marks. I modified the Soundtrack item by removing the quotation marks so that it is now displaying a bit more accurately:

The Ferals' Homeless Animals Telethon Song

Performed by Emma De Vries and Terry Ryan
In the meantime, I escalated the display issue to the appropriate team (ticket #V1550429761). While we are not always able to take immediate action on every issue, please be assured this feedback has been captured.
