Talk:The Pretender (Foo Fighters song)

message: the chorus reminds me of that song from sesame street 
'one of these things is not like the other, one of these things does not belong'
:Dave Grohl has said he thinks he was subliminally forced in to writing the chorus based on 'One of these things is not like the other'. Dave Grohl felt like he had heard the chorus before and then Chris Shiflett the guitar player pointed out the similarity.  Isaacpitt 04:17, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The only problems is that's not the lyric. The lyric is "What if I say I'm not like the others/What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays/you're the pretender". So that kinda shoots down that theory Doc Strange (talk) 15:45, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He didn't say they had the same lyrics, he said that is was based on it. And he's right, Dave Grohl admits that they are similar. Behold y'all. Whether it's encyclopedic or not, I don't know. --Wifidelity (talk) 08:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Who keeps posting "grunge" and "post-grunge" under genre? 
For the last time, its not either, it is simply alternative rock. Please, for the love of god, stop doing this. You are INCORRECT. It is 2008, not 1994. Thank you. 74.85.13.60 (talk) 16:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps because you and several other anon editors...or are they all you?...keep being disruptive and changing this against the consensus of other editors?  I don't have other singles' articles on the watch list at the moment, but if you've been hitting them with the same disruptive changes, then perhaps they will need to be visited and reviewed now.  Thanks for the heads-up. Tarc (talk) 19:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I and others have been restoring it to "post-grunge", as it should be; whoever is putting it to "alternative rock" is the vandal. Tarc (talk) 19:41, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

text: The consensus reached over at the Foo Fighters talk page would seem to indicate otherwise.  Perhaps you should stop pretending that your own personal opinion is the be all and end all of the musical universe. Tarc (talk) 00:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
