message: 'some also believe it to be a parody of "Someone Left the Cake Out in the Rain" by Barry Manilow'
Does this song actually exist, or has this person just confused Barry Manilow with Richard Harris? LeeWilson 15:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Given that Achy Breaky Song was released as a single, its probably not a good candidate for a merger, since singles are generally given their own article. Expanding it would be a better solution. If there are good reasons for the merger, then repropose it and put them on their relevant discussion pages. Orchid Righteous 14:40, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: They can't both be style parodies of Sledgehammer...I seriously doubt Al would do two style parodies of the same song on the same album. My doubts aren't evidence, of course. If I had to pick one, I'd say that Talk Soup has the musical link. I won't even venture a guess as to what Waffle King might otherwise be a style parody of, if anything, however. Is there a verifiable statement from Al on this issue? Toddrunner 13:42, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I've seen a part of a supposed music video of Livin' in the Fridge but never the whole thing. Can someone please explain this? Starhood` 20:22, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: "Waffle King" is an obvious style parody of "Sledgehammer" because at roughly 0:31 there is a sound similar to that used in the "Sledgehammer's" 'musical intermission'. Kind of hard to explain the sound. Listen for yourself if you'd like.
"Talk Soup" is a obvious style parody of "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder as it uses the same trumpet line throughout the song.
Please stop changing these. It is highly unlikely that Yankovic would record two Peter Gabriel style parodies, or visa versa.--Gen. Quon (talk) 14:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree in part, "Waffle King" is also a musical parody of "Close (to the Edit)" by The Art of Noise. In fact it directly samples "Close (to the edit)", specifically the "dum dum dum do dum" vocal beat that begins at 0:06. Walterego (talk) 09:36, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, there are similarities, and yes I recall a website claimed he sampled that, but the fact remains a) He's never confirmed a sample b) He never gave credit for a sample and c) the parts are similar, but not identical.--99.179.75.218 (talk) 21:36, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, the parts are similar, but not the same. I agree with mentioning the similarity, but it isn't a direct sample.--76.246.176.32 (talk) 02:14, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

message: How does the center of the CD represent scent?
*Somebody proposed that all of the CD's after Alapalooza represent 1 of the 5 scents. This can't be right because there are only four CD's with Al on the CD itself. (Alapalooza, Bad Hair Day, Running With Scissors, & Poodle Hat). I think it's just someone P.O.V. because I've never heard this claim before. And since there isn't a source, I'm going to remove it if no one responds.Gen. Quon 21:26, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Scent?

message: For the longest while it has been established the "YD&U" was an "AC/DC" style parody. However, every once and while someone will  change it to Aerosmith, Led Zepplin, Metallica, KISS, and now Guns 'N Roses. I understand there might be simiarities, but I doubt it is a Guns 'N Roses knock-off. I don't mean to sound mean, but we can't have everyone changing the style parody to what they think it is.--Gen.

message: I removed the line regarding the album being discontinued as of August 2009.  I don't see any evidence of this one any websites.  in fact, Al's site shows that all of his albums are available for sale.  there is a similar comment posted on pages for some of Al's other albums.
