message: Should we remove the part about the unofficial flash anim for the song, since its just advertising Newgrounds and Albino Blacksheep.  (its on any major video site, GV or YT or whatever.  --Joooeeeelllll 03:11, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Lyrics link

message: You know, with such a summary, maybe it would save space you just list the whole lyrics. :)
Or does that violate copyrights? RagingR2 10:38, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: South Park episode summaries don't list the script; neither should we list the lyrics. Wikipedia is also not the place for lyrics posting; there are lyrics websites for that. More importantly, there is a humorous quality in seriously describing nonsense (especially in an encyclopedia); thus, I propose we detail the song's story as seriously and professionally as possible. -- Newagelink (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 02:26, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

text: This summary needs some cleanup. It's too similar to the lyrics as it is. --Temporarily Insane (talk) 21:09, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some summary... 

message: Should it be noted that it "technically" may not be the longest song by Al? On the album version of "You Don't Love Me Anymore" it actually lasts 14+ minutes, though not entirely filled with audio. SpellingD 23:48, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Longest Song By Al? 

message: "Albuquerque" should only loosely be considered a song. 
That's a very incorrect statement.  Even though the song is not sung (but rather narrated), it is still a song (as in a piece of music).  I el-deeted it.203.87.119.103 02:41, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Not a song'? 

message: it says that the song clocks at 11:25 adding up to 27 when he never uses 27s.  But this can be disputed. i have the song and iTunes times it up at 11:23. as does Windows Media Player. 
Also, one line says, quote, "The Movie, which is an unofficial video for the song."  What the heck??  I guess someone forgot to finish their thought or just had a typo.

thread_title:  TRIVIA incorrect 

message: 11:25 does not particularly add up to 27. One could easily add 1+1+2+5 to get 9, 11+25 to get 36, or 11+2+5 to get 18. I'm sure many such instances can occur with many numbers, depending on which ones you decide to string together and which ones to add. Yelling Bird 16:15, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposal to Merge

message: I have always wondered if the inspiration for the music for this song came from The Rugburns' song "Dick's Automotive". They sound very similar.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMtkgWarGTg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.194.66.108 (talk) 16:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Emo Philips is a good friend of Al's. Emo regularly does long-winded stories which are full of weird twists. A staple in Emo's stories is the use of sauerkraut. Emo has a joke about being raised in the basement and being kept there with leather straps. Much of the song is easily traced back to Emo's comedy - with the clear exception of the donut shop routine, which is lifted from Monty Python's cheese shop sketch. So, while the idea of a long meandering song may be inspired by other musicians, the humor is, in my opinion, inspired heavily by Emo. -- kainaw™ 15:55, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure all of those sound reasonable (to me, it's obvious that Dick's Automotive is a directly similar song)...but none of them can be in the article unless we have reliable sources stating what Yankovic's inspiration was. Anything else would be original research. Qwyrxian (talk) 08:32, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
