replies: text: this link points to the music video; in analysis, the song has a similar rhythmic pattern to such song but steel drums are not included in the aforementioned song. Additionally, there is not an electric guitar track nor the same or phrases of the same lyrics that "party like a rock star" used. Could the lyrics for this song be added and (actually) explained on the main article? 70.121.124.110 19:08, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

message: "The song is easily recognized with its steel pan melody, highly repetetive rhythm, and incoherent lyrics."
Alright so I admit I hate this song with a passion, but 1.) repetitive is spelled wrong, and 2.) sounds more opinionated than factual, mostly concerning the last two clauses. I'm no wikipedia expert so maybe someone else could correct it to something less... informal and 'hating'. Akiratheoni (talk) 02:26, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Although it is understandable that one could assume it is opinionated, the fact is, it does have a repetitive rhythm, and incoherent lyrics (i.e. the word "do" is pronounced as "youuu", etc). -CamT|C 02:12, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm completely new to contributing to wikipedia so don't want to do anything out of line, so can someone tag this article with NPOV? There are sources pointing to the controversy surrounding the offensiveness of this song ( ex. http://media.www.michigandaily.com/media/storage/paper851/news/2008/02/20/Viewpoints/Dressed.To.Distress-3221378.shtml ) but the article reads more like promotional material or a breakdown of the song's success than a discussion of the song itself.

text: Yeah this is a horrible entry.  On the not enough side it seems to need something about it's viral videos which anyone who is online can't escape.  On the other it reads like an ad, especially the first section.  I mean really being on an informercal product (Now That's What I Call Music! 26) is not important and isn't done for many other things on those stupid albums.  Also I really think there needs to be a controversy section.  The song is about sexually assaulting sleeping women.  As others have pointed out, this has been getting attention, press and otherwise. 66.92.146.86 (talk) 21:43, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agreed. This song is terrible. There needs to be a Controversy and Criticism section. This song is demeaning to African Americans and pretty much all rap music in general. What started in the 80's as a subgenre of jazz turns out to be stuff like this. that's just sad. LukeTheSpook (talk) 00:34, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, but if you feel that it's discriminating towards African-Americans, that's your point of view.  Only Neutral Point of View should be included in the article. Shapiros10 contact meMy work 12:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: Speedy moved to "Crank That (Soulja Boy)". It seems it had been erroneously moved from "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" to "Crank That (Soulja Boy song)" by someone who didn't realize that "(Soulja Boy)" was part of the title and not an incorrectly formed disambiguation.
