Talk:Bowling for Soup

message: Hi there, I was sorting out orphaned and uncategorized articles and came across the page for Gary Wiseman.  I have stuck it in a few categories, added the BFS infobox, linked it up and performed some minor copyediting but it is in major need of attention from someone interested in BFS.  Just flagging it up here in case anyone is interested in doing something with it to bring it up to the same standard as the other members' pages.  Thanks! Sassf (talk) 23:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I can't help but wonder about this:
*"The band's name is derived from comedian Steve Martin's "Bowling for Shit" bawls from his 1978 comedy album, Wild and Crazy Guy, itself a reference to Bowling for Dollars."
The reference given is the band's official web site, but AFAIK there is no such routine on Wild and Crazy Guy. Can anyone enlighten me? MFNickster (talk) 19:29, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I can find the references - but they seem to be in error, because it's not on the album mentioned. I'm wondering where it's actually from. MFNickster (talk) 22:02, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

text: I have Steve Martin's "A Wild and Crazy Guy" album.  I have no memory of "Bowling for Shit" anywhere on it.  I'm going to listen to it again after I plug in my turntable to see if I perhaps missed it. -- kainaw™ 20:03, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

text: I listended to the entire "A Wild and Crazy Guy" album.  There is a section where he lists a lot of books he has written.  "Bowling for Shit" is not one of them.  It is possible that he used that title at a live show, but it is not from the album. -- kainaw™ 21:23, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

message: What is this album? It doesn't have any information about it, and it's getting really annoying. Is this album released, or what? Blink18 (talk) 20:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: "Sorry for Partyin"

message: I was surprised to see this page doesnt list the album "Let's do it for Johnny", it came out before drunk enough to dance and includes the summer of '69 cover.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.131.77.120 (talk) 03:44, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Um, it does...first paragraph:  "Let's Do It for Johnny!!, Bowling for Soup's major label debut, was released on Jive in 2000. The album mostly contained re-recordings of their previous material along with a few new tracks and a cover of Bryan Adams' song 'Summer of '69.'" C628 (talk) 21:17, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Let's do it for Johnny! 

message: I couldn't find any proof that this is the name of their new album.
This is their new EP that is coming out on October 5th (Zeoace (talk) 12:00, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Fishin' for Woo's?

message: I seem to remember that BFS performed their song "My Greatest Day" for this Disney movie,
about a kid who burns all his bridges because his family is moving and then doesn't.
Not super significant, but might be something to include on the page...

message: BFS Toured the UK in 2004 (I know this, I was there and I stll have my ticket), yet there is no mention of it here. 
I don't think I have enough info to add it myself, not sure if it was for "Hangover.." or what. Definately wasn't a joint tour as ticket says "Bowling For Soup, Plus Special Guests + Feable Weiner" in small.
Other bands on that tour were Feable Weiner, The Feds, Army of Freshman and one more which I cannot, for the life of me, remember the name of.
Does anyone remember the name of that other band? It is killing me ! 78.86.217.93 (talk) 01:33, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
