# Talk:New Slang

No way should over half this article be taken up with this radio show information. It needs some trimming. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.110.145.13 (talk • contribs) 21:54, 18 May 2006

Zach Braff heard the song on "Scrubs." He did not introduce the song to the show, as was previously stated.68.194.132.20 09:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I guess it changed his life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KenFehling (talk • contribs) 14:33, 4 March 2007
Please also add information about in wich episode the song appeared! --JPGoelz (talk) 12:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

That part is completely unnecessary. Who cares if some dive bar in England hosts a night? If anything, it should be on the page of that particular bar, not this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pottski (talk • contribs) 17:49, 14 March 2007

Thanks for pointing that out. I have deleted it. --Paul Erik 05:04, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:The-Shins-New-Slang-285279.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Does anybody know why the song name in the article is listed as New Slang (When You Notice the Stripes)?  I can't find a reliable source that back's up that "When You Notice the Stripes" is part of the proper title.  Heck, even theshins.com and SubPop (the label) have it listed as New Slang only.  I did find a couple of lyrics sites that refer to it as New Slang (When You Notice the Stripes), but I would hardly consider those to be reliable sources, especially ones over the band's own and the label's own websites.  Until someone can provide a reliable reference documenting the New Slang (When You Notice the Stripes) title, I'm changing it back to New Slang  Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 21:21, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, the CD packaging is pretty reliable, and on the inside it lists the song as New Slang (When You Notice the Stripes).  I've added a note that it is also called that. --CoastTOcoast533 (talk) 16:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

What about different versions of this song? Via youtube you can find the ~3:50 version (which can be found on the Shins' album and on the Garden State soundtrack), but there is also a version that is about 3:28. The latter sounds a bit muffled and seems to lack a guitar solo at the end. Is it the work of an commited user of youtube, was this version in the actual film Garden State (I don't remember) or what?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.72.5.81 (talk) 23:09, 19 November 2009 (UTC) 

This song was used in the background of American Idol Season 9 Hollywood Week, first episode (2/9/10) when a contestant's (Vanessa Wolfe) backstory was reintroduced.  I will look for a source, but if anyone finds one first please add this information.

The music video can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYwCmcB0XMw&ob=av3e
I think there are other album covers recreated that are not listed in this article, or at least other iconic images from music history. The four of them in the pool, for example, is a reference to this image of the Beatles.
Can anyone identify any other album covers, or references?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitc0185 (talk • contribs) 15:05, 23 September 2010 (UTC) 

What's up with this song's meter? It seems mostly to be in four, (like typical popular music). But the verses don't quite work out that way; apparently they contain some non-four-beat measures.
Articles about other songs that have atypical meters (like Pink Floyd's Money, or Take Five) often discuss that point. It would be nice to have such a section here.
Can anybody cite a source for such a discussion? TypoBoy (talk) 17:40, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
