message: Is "Truck Drivin' Song" really a style parody of Johnny Cash in particular? It seems like it could be seen as a parody of many country artists. Anyone have a source for this? Catamorphism 20:33, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.. I just listened to Truck Drivin' Song.. The vocals are almost identical to any Junior Brown song and the song sounds simliar to him.. --Drowse 21:38, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Personally, I don't think that the horoscope for Leo in "Your Horoscope For Today" is negative. The horoscope is:
"Now is not a good time to photocopy your butt
and staple it to your boss's face oh no,
eat a bucket of tuna flavored pudding
and wash it down with a gallon of strawberry Quick"
What's so bad about that? Starhood` 23:59, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm afraid that getting people to listen to it is not sufficient. What Wikipedia needs is verification of this information at a reliable source, otherwise it is counted as original research which isn't allowed. What you need to do is to find somewhere where Al said or wrote that, at a reliable source (a newspaper, magazine, his website, liner notes etc). -- PhantomSteve.alt/talk\[alternative account of Phantomsteve] 09:46, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Why change it back to "Closer" then? Al never said anything about that. It would at least be less wrong if that were to be taken out. ElectroSpecter (talk) 10:01, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I just reverted it to how it was before your edit. I noticed that the "Closer" bit had been added about 4 weeks ago. However, looking into it, I think you're right to change it to 'style parody' as that seems to be the consensus. If I get a chance, I'll look for a suitable citation for it. -- PhantomSteve.alt/talk\[alternative account of Phantomsteve] 16:15, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

message: For the Truck Drivin' Song, it says that he's cross-dressing.  But is there any proof of that?  It doesn't say so in the lyrics.  It could just be a woman with a really manly voice. 76.174.239.95 (talk) 05:11, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Is there any reference that says "Horoscope" is a direct style parody of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones (or any other individual band) as opposed to just a style parody of the third wave ska genre as a whole? Skibz777 (talk) 00:54, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bosstones? 

message: I'm especially thinking about the comments column for the track listing. Surely there are citations that can be made to "Ask Al" and the like? I'm a big fan of Al, and like this album a lot - but this article needs work, with regard to citations. Work and family commitments ( I do 12-hour days plus travelling for work, and have 3 young children!) means that I don't get much time to look up stuff like this, but if I get a chance then I'll do it, but if one of you have an opportunity, this would improve this article immensely!
