Love Makes the World Go Round

But I was confused upon noting that  Wikipedia has two articles a song with that title.  They both start out the same way:  "It was written by..."

But in one version the writer ends that sentence with "Ollie Jones" and in the other article it ends with "Bob Merrill."  At first I thought it must be a type, but it turns out that there are two completely different songs with the same title.  Why do they do that?

Stuff about love sells, for one thing.

Just look at all the verbiage there is on the net about how to succeed with online dating.

Not being on the prowl, I've never had any direct exposure to that sort of thing, but a cyber buddy writes a blog called "It Might Be Love" and therein she writes about online dating from time to time.   She does a fantastic job of it and gets a lot of nice looking ads and, I hope, some healthy ad revenue.

For my part, the advice Chaucer's Wife of Bath offers is as up to date as any.  Experience, she said, is better than authority.   My longest relationship has been forty-plus years...so far.   And no, computers had not been invented yet when that one started.   In fact, singles ads were pretty much unheard of then, too.   According to the People's Almanac, it is said, the first known singles ad was solicited by an 18th century woman who consequently put in a mental institution for the act, even though her ad was small and tasteful, at least by our standards.
