[edit] Charts
A while back, this article said that the single reached #35 or #38... which, if any, of those are right? -- LaotianBoy1991
So anyone care to compile a list of videos spoofed by that song's video? I haven't seen it unfortunately... Grue 06:22, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
What's with that description of the color of her car and Mitch? --71.112.183.85 20:47, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
I have added a little bit to the page, my addition in italics:
- The song/video is also popular with the generation of people currently in their 30s or early 40s as nostalgia for the pop culture of their youth, although the song makes no effort to imitate the style of the '80s, with the exception of the line "on the radio", which resembles the timbre of the voice singing the verses in the Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star", known for being the first video ever played on MTV in 1981 (this may or may not be intentional).
The timbre being the same is fact, but as for the nod, as you can see, that's my interpretation. Can anybody prove or disprove it? Mapsax 00:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] YouTube links
This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed, feel free to ask me on my talk page and I'll review it personally. Thanks. ---J.S (t|c) 06:47, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nirvana...
I have listened to the song everywhere about thirty times and it says in said song, "...way before Nirvana", so I have put in that this is a reference to the American alternative rock band, not the concept of immortal happiness. The link didn't even exist, anyways, so I have included that for that reason as well. Fishdert 12:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)Fishdert
