Talk:Basket Case (song)

message: Unless someone can give me a compelling reason to keep it, I'm just going to delete the entire section. Paper cups are the standard way to give out medication in all psyche wards. "Throwing something heavy" at a window to escape is common sense, not an homage. Watching a blank TV happens in psyche wards, and didn't actually happen in the movie. I don't cleeary remember if the nurse looked especially like Nurse Ratched . If so, try to incorporate it into the rest the article. Pullarius1 12:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Can someone please tell me the episodes of Inuyasha that have Basket Case in them? Is that really true?
Yup it is (apparently), or else it may have been a fan online digitally adding it, as I found this online.mikey 23:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Careful listeners note that Billie Joe's vocals feature an interesting juxtaposition. He "went to a shrink...she says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down," but in the next line, he "went to a whore, he said my life's a bore, so quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down" This could be clever choice of words conveying the fact that Billie Joe's anxiety has so thoroughly disturbed his mind that he accidentally mixes up their genders. 
Are there any articles or interviews addressing this quote? This seems like it might be a reference to transseuxality and/or Armstrong's purported bisexuality. - LeaHazel 13:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I don't think it's easy to confuse gender when having an anxiety attack... at least I never have.  It's good that someone removed it.--Jude 06:18, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Did anyoe else notice that the beggining of the song sounds exactly like 25 or 6 to 4?
You're confusing this song with Brain Stew.  Actually, this song is often compared to Canon in D. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfinator-x (talk • contribs) 23:36, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

message: ...really? Can we get a musicologist or theorist's opinion on that, rather than just some statement a guy made? The only thing they share is the root progression of Basket Case's verse, minus an octave-up on the 7th root of the progression (D). There are only 7 notes in Dmaj, there is going to be some overlap in progressions over the course of 310-odd years.
