Talk:Men Without Hats

message: Where is the album Business As Usual, which contained their hit Who Can It Be Now? 67.188.172.165 21:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Business As Usual

message: The article mentions "The Safety Dance" and "Pop Goes The World", so at least they're not being called a "one-hit wonder" as many websites often do, but am I the only one who remembers "Where Do the Boys Go?"?  The video was a hit on MuchMusic when I was a kid.  I'm not adding it to the article just yet because I don't know which album it came from and I'm not entirely sure how to rephrase the sentence which mentions their hits... also because I'd like someone else to confirm that this song was actually a hit and that I'm not completely insane. - Ugliness Man 07:01, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It was a minor hit in terms of airplay and videoplay, yes. I don't think it actually charted very high or sold well, though.  It was on "Folk of the 80's Part III". wikipediatrix 13:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the Joel Whitburn's most recent Book of Billboard Top 40 Hits, only two songs by Men Without Hats - "The Safety Dance" (#3) and "Pop Goes the World" (#20) - ever hit the Billboard Hot 100 Doc Strange (talk) 18:32, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Where Do the Boys Go?" 

message: The text on this page is exactly the same as the text at http://www.80smusiclyrics.com/artists/menwithouthats.htm , although I don't know which came first... Andy Johnston 12:14, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I looked at a couple of other entries on that web site, and they all look to be copies of the lede section of the respective Wikipedia article. I'd say they're not attributing their sources properly. Ciotog 18:46, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yeah, it's hard to tell which came first.. the text has been in this article for so long that it's hard to isolate.  I'm not going to worry about it, but it definitely needs to be rewritten.  The History section is not a proper tone at all. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 19:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wikipedia plagiarism 

message: I removed this huge, unsourced and intractable braindump from the history section.  It's massive and needs to be trimmed down and (above all) sourced. --Tony Sidaway 15:44, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Adventures men and women without hate.jpg

message: The elongated list of past members seems to be a joke in the "Bob Holness played the saxophone on Baker Street" vein. I find it hard to believe that Mark Arm (of Mudhoney), Sean Kinney (of Alice in Chains) and Debra Messing (of crap TV Will & Grace) were in this band, and there are no mentions of them on the MWH website.

thread_title:  Past members 

message: No, actually you really can't invent a nickname for a musical artist (which you admitted on your talk page was a nickname you invented), add it to Wikipedia, and then keep on putting it back every time you're told that it's unsourced. This is an encyclopedia, not a fan page. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 18:24, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sources 

message: I think your long list of touring members has reached the point of being based on your original research, rather than a third-party source that would establish that this information is anything more than trivia and clutter. It's now difficult or impossible to distinguish  from the many sidemen or fill-ins who played a few gigs with MWH (or were guest musicians on recordings), and who probably would never even claim that they were members of MWH.

message: So many actresses have been mentioned that played the female vocalists onscreen. But who actually sang the female vocals (in their hit songs)?
Thank you,
