[edit] Weird Al Yankovic Parody

I made a change to reflect the 2 different ways that Weird Al parodied this song. In the video for UHF, he did a parody of the style of the video. He later did a parody of the song itself called "Addicted To Spuds" (There was no video made for this song). 72.161.165.250 22:07, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SNL

There was a Saturday Night Live sketch parodying the video (about how one of the black-clad women actually wants to be an individual); I think Palmer himself might have been involved... AnonMoos 12:58, 21 October 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) 07:25, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Also parodied in "What the Bleep"

I don't know if the article needs a reference to EVERY parody, but the original sound recording is used in the movie What the Bleep Do We Know? with these animated "cell" beings dancing and playing guitars just like the women in the original video. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 170.215.105.143 (talk) 15:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Video: Palmer was not filmed with the backing band - source needed

I can find no reliable source stating that Robert Palmer was filmed separately from his “backing band”. If you watch the video you can clearly see shadows from Palmer and his microphone stand on the ladies behind. Also technology in 1985 was not able to merge two separately filmed segments without seeing the slightest glitch. Plus the fact that this was never revealed until a few year ago makes me believe this is actually an Urban legend . I would like to see a source for this and if none are found this part will be removed. Bigar 16:42, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the reference; please add again if a source is found. Bigar 11:38, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
