Talk:Black Hole Sun

message: The music video for this song is pretty funny, yet weird. The people are always smiling while Soundgarden's predicting the end of the world. They still smile even though they are getting ripped apart...the famous scene has to be where the girl is eating ice cream while the Barbie is being cooked on the grill. Gives new meaning to the term "fire up the Barbie". -- User:A&MFan

thread_title: Cobain

message: I did a search on YouTube and was only able to find one version of the video that seems incomplete/unfinished and that has a VH1 tag on it.  That link in German shows frames from a second version of the video with enhanced special effects.  The prevalence of the older version of the video and the difficulty in locating the newer version seems potentially significant.  Did they ever release the second version on VHS or DVD?  Was it banned?  I think more needs to be said about it and perhaps links added to show the different versions.  Best, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 03:59, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a line in the article saying that there are references to Doctor Who in the video, is there any more information on that? 433 (talk) 14:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not trying to be inpolite or something, but I'm just wondering why someone deleted by explanation behind the (somewhat enigmatic) lyrics. The meaning fits perfectly into several lines - The narrator's frustration about the whole plain dirtiness and social corruption of the world makes him wish the sun would collapse into a black hole and suck up the whole Earth with its inhabitants into nothingness to end this miserable chaos. Yes, I KNOW Chris Cornell stated in a VH1 interview that he actually didn't know what the song was about - But that could just be an affection of amnesia, or something!

message: Doom the game has the difficulty degree "Ultra Violence". And it was banned by the BPJS (harmful to youth).
There's also an epilepsy hint in the BHS video: the flickering. This is exactly what the
"epilepsy warning" on early Nintendo games was about. When you play too much Nintendo or stare
into bright lights, you get epileptic seizures.
And perhaps the lyrics could be misheard.
As there have been some riots lately, let's pretend that we all don't know what i'm talking
about.
However, although the exposure was extreme, after eight years it didn't get worse and the damage
is slight.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.143.80.92 (talk) 10:32, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Would Neil Cicierega's cover 'Close to the Sun' from the album Mouth Silence be notable enough to be included under "In Popular Culture/Cover Versions"? I'd volunteer to add and cite it if it seems like a valuable contribution.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miss Zia (talk • contribs) 03:26, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
