thread_title: WTF?

message: The article states that the flash animation version was sped up by +6 semitones. Changing the pitch doesn't change the speed. I played around with the original song and Audacity and found that pitch +6 semitones gets the right pitch, but not the right speed. To get the right pitch & speed, just speed up the song by 40%. This isn't an exact measurement but to the untrained ear, is close enough.

replies: text: it's sped up so that it sounds 6 semitones higher - strictly speaking it's not a pitch shift, just a time shift which gives the pitch shift. It can be done in most |DAWs by doing a pitch shift without time correction.Toomuchrockcankill (talk) 16:26, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi ive heard that banana phone contains subliminal messaging and can brainwash kids into harming other infants im not sure if this is true but the subliminal messaging is there the ones i heard is:
:Kill yourself x2
:Eat my horse

im not sure if this is deliberate or not but raffi has been branded on the internet as someone who puts subliminal messaging in his songs can someone play this song backwards like i did and see if you hear the same things or maybe more please —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Geordanuk (talk • contribs) .
:That's fascinating and all, but Wikipedia doesn't deal in rumours or original research. If there was a published paper on this, then we'd have something. — Saxifrage ✎ 17:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  External Influences 

message: Instead of bringing to an admin, let's bring this to the Talk page.
Over the past several months anons have been adding AMV HELL to this page and linking directly to the "new release" of version 3. This always smelled strongly of spam to me so I reverted it on sight. Since this is finally being contested by an editor of better standing than that, let's discuss it.
My position is that Wikipedia's not for promotion and the links have always been added in a promotional way; what this indicates to me is that the creators think it doesn't have enough widespread recognition and they need to "spread the word". If the word needs spreading, then it's not notable enough to be included anywhere on Wikipedia. Note that it doesn't have an article like most notable internet phenomena. What arguments are there for including this? — Saxifrage ✎ 21:15, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sax the anon's (or a few of them) were me before I joined. I admit my first edits were not NPOV however I went back just a few days ago and thought my last edit did look to adverty so I changed it. Oh, it's not to promote the 'movie' which really is just a collection of funny clips from anime. I have nothing vested other than I enjoyed the collection and remember this is where I first hear the song. I found out that the clip was a parody of the flash and decided to link it here because of that. That's about it. It's not about 'spreading the word' about the 'movie' (which anyone that has been into AMV's has probably seen it or heard about it).  It's just that someone made a parody of the flash and I thought that it would be a good addition to the article. --Brian (How am I doing?) 22:04, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we disagree on whether it's important enough to be mentioned. I don't think it's on-par with the Gundam animation, since that was the original "push" that made the song an internet phenomenon. The AMV HELL videos seem to me as just another place where the meme has shown up rather than a significant event in its ongoing history. — Saxifrage ✎ 18:48, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it.  Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed.  I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy.  In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 03:32, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

message: This article was recently tagged as containing original research and being unreferenced. The edit inserting the tags was marked as minor and no explanation was given. If no one is able to tell why the tags were inserted I suggest they be removed because this kind of tagging clutters up the backlog of tagged pages which is large enough as it is. 
To the editor who placed the tag: Please do not mark such edits as minor. They are a serious criticism and should be explained. Unexplained tagging does not constitute constructive editing. A small explanation of why you tagged it can help a lot. Thank you. MartinDK 19:24, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: You cite John Warburton's breakfast show as the first full radio play for this track, but it has been used in the past as a bed by Lauren Laverne when she presented the breakfast show for XFM (London only).
The piece was used as an introduction to a feature where she spoke to very important guests who had returned an invitation to phone into the show and plug their latest work.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Markcpowell (talk • contribs) 05:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
