Talk:Straight Outta Lynwood

message: Is it just me, or is the outro to "I'll sue you" much more similar to the ending of "Killing in the name" as opposed to "Guerrilla Radio"? It starts out softer before getting louder at the end. Plus, the ending to killing in the name is more well known, and more likely what it was a reference to.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.14.31 (talk) 11:22, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Just a note that the fan-made version of the white and nerdy video no longer has a proper working link. It links to American Idol now, of all things. - Some random non-registered user (N00B) at 3:17 PM CST.

message: *From the "Music Video" section, Notes on "Weasel Stomping Day":
:"...in response to Yankovic's first time on the Cartoon Network, the network on which Robot Chicken airs, jokingly took credit for his success in one of their commercial bumpers during Adult Swim, the adult-oriented television programming block on the network."
:Didn't Yankovic's voice work on Johnny Bravo (as himself) and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (as the Squidhat), both Cartoon Network series, predate both the Robot Chicken episode and the release of Straight Outta Lynnwood?
::Someone edited that part. Should have read, "in response to Yankovic's first time in the Billboard Top 10, Cartoon Network, the network on which Robot Chicken airs, jokingly took credit for his success in one of their commercial bumpers during Adult Swim, the adult-oriented television programming block on the network." So I fixed it. --Michael Greiner 19:49, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two unrelated (to each other) thoughts 

message: Is there any evidence that the Confessions Part III midget line is an R. Kelly reference?  It seems like a stretch to me, and since there's no source given I've removed it — the Bridget/midget connection is probably just parallel use of an obvious rhyme.  Even if it is a deliberate reference, it seems like an unnecessary piece of trivia; we don't need to enumerate every reference in every song. The joke there is that Al forgets his girlfriend's name in the middle of a long confession of his other romantic sins, which doesn't need explication. --Jere7my 16:58, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it true that Chamillionaire at first only gave Al permisson to do a song parody, and not a video parody? I heard he didn't want Al to do a video, because it would downplay what they were trying to say in the orignal song & video. My source on this is pretty solid, but I wanted to some opinions before I permently insert it into the article. Any thoughts?--71.35.187.128 01:00, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Chamillionaire loved Al's parody and raved about it in the press.  Eminem hated "Couch Potato", Al's "Lose Yourself" parody.  Eminem stopped the song from having a video. ~~ Gromreaper(Talk)/(Cont) 05:27, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chamillionaire Tried To Stop Song? 

message: The comment on previous CD art relating to five sense was recently "commented out" with "what does this mean?", so I wanted to offer my theory.  On the CD for Alapalooza, the art printed on the CD has Al's nose "missing" because it's situated in the center (the hole).  Al is cross-eyed in that picture, looking at where his nose should be.  On Poodle Hat, the center of the CD is in his mouth.  For Running With Scissors, the hole is on his ear.  That takes care of smell, taste, and hearing.  However, even though I can't find an image of the Bad Hair Day CD, I'm pretty sure the hole is in his gut, which doesn't seem to relate to any of the senses (except maybe taste which we already dealt with).  So, there does seem to be an explanation for the trivia, but it doesn't appear to be completely accurate.
Also, the US edition of the Straight Outta Lynwood CD has no image because it's a dual disc (audio CD on one side, DVD on the other, with text in the center label), but the Canadian edition was released as two seperate discs, which did have artwork... although I can't find the artwork at the moment (and my copy is currently in a different province), so I guess I can't comment on that. - Ugliness Man 09:46, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your right about Bad Hair Day. This is seemingly Original research, and I doubt somewhat that those were an orchestrated effort. So it should probably just be removed. --Michael Greiner 12:51, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Soli4.jpg

message: "Despite Straight Outta Compton being released 17 years prior to Straight Outta Lynwood, Yankovic is believed to be the first known human being ever to have parodied the album's title by replacing Compton with the name of a different locale; many commentators  see this as indicative of Yankovic's determination to remain at the absolute cutting edge of American satire."
I think this may have been a tongue-in-cheek addition.  See also Le Frisur, track seven.
I'm not that familiar with Yankovic's work but the first thing regarding the title that came to my mind was Straight Outta Cashville which appeared only 2 years earlier. Perhaps Californian acts especially like this reference (see Straight Outta Humboldt that was also released before Lynwood). --Hodsha (talk) 20:01, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
