Talk:I'm My Own Grandpa

message: If you trace relationships up, the Narrator is his own father's mother-in-law's husband.  There isn't really a fixed term for that in ordinary English usage, but I think it would be fair to call it a "step-grandfather-in-law" relationship... AnonMoos 08:52, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see. I think that what irks me about "step-grandfather-in-law" is that (1) I would prefer the description of the loop that sounds least bizarre, and (2) the song itself does not mention in-law relations, and all the claims it makes make sense when considering only step-parent relations. –Henning Makholm 22:01, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if you don't like "step-grandfather-in-law", then how about "step-step-grandfather" or "double-step-grandfather"?  The point is that there are two deviations from an ordinary grandfather relationship (one's parent's father), while the term "step-grandfather" might imply that there was only one...

text: Yes. I have now edited the intro to straighten things out, abandoning the "grandfather-with-modifiers" strategy which does not seem to be doable in a way that everybody finds unambiguous. –Henning Makholm 12:06, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The integrated references within the article itself (news paper articles, TV show mentions etc.) are all done very well but a quick check of references at the bottom as in a references section, and notated references, which I am assuming adheres closer to the wikipedia manual of style, are completely lacking.

message: Ron Wood (of The Rolling Stones) once entered into a relationship with a 14-year-old girl, with the consent of her mother.  His grown son then married the girl's mother.  What does this make them?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.178.228.88 (talk) 01:59, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

message: There is a German version, too. It's by the German language country band "Truck Stop" and is called "Mein Opa das bin ich" (literally "My grandpa that am I"). It's from the 1980's, and you can listen to it here on Youtube. They even use a genealogic diagram like the one in this Wikipedia article, so there's no doubt about it. 
German version by Truck Stop

message: The following was added to the article by  and reverted by . Clearly not vandalism, but just as clearly not appropriate for the article as originally presented. I'm leaving it here (with slightly cleaned-up formatting, and an improved reference), in case anyone would like to incorporate it. Phil wink (talk) 19:19, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
