Oppose. The original song by Sonny West was Rave On!. See the disc
Atlantic 45-1174 or
here. The Buddy Holly version doesn't have the '!' and that is the one pictured, not the original. The article text should be corrected to note this.

Move Page
I see there is previous discussion in regards to retitling the page to suit Holly's release of the song. I agree with the reasoning, as Holly's recording is the first to receive notability; the exact same thing happened with the song "
Oh, Boy!; the page was named with Holly's song, not West's original, which went by the name "All of My Love." -

Requested move 11 August 2016
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Move to
Rave On. After over a month and a relisting, we have clear consensus that the song is primary topic for both
Rave On and
Rave On!. There is also a rougher but decisive consensus to do away with the exclamation point. As such, the dab page will go to
Rave On (disambiguation), the song will go to
Rave On, and
Rave On! will be a redirect.

Rave On! → Rave On (song) – As with "Oh, Boy!, Holly's cover is one that gained notability as a hit single, and the spelling of that version was used.

Oppose – This song is still the primary topic for the "Rave On" or "Rave On!" term; no need to add a parenthetical disambiguator. Looks like the OP wants to re-open the earlier debate about removing the exclamation mark in the title (about which I have no opinion), but regardless of the spelling variant chosen, there is no need to tack on "(song)". —

My primary goal with the resulting move is consistency; if "Rave On" stays as it was originally written ("Rave On!"), then "Oh, Boy!" should be changed to "All Of My Love" as well. As it stands, both songs were covered and had the titles changed; one article uses the new title, one uses the old. -

Then do you (or others) support a move to
Rave On as well? —
AjaxSmack 04:26, 21 August 2016 (UTC)reply
As noted in my first comment, the song is likely primary topic, and seeing arguments for removing the exclamation point, I support the move to Rave On, with a simpler hatnote too: {{
Other uses}} would be enough. —
