I was listening to the song stay, and it had the same lyrics as Fire Water Burn by Bloodhound Gang. Can anyone confirm?

I meant Sway

if you're referring to "the roof is on fire/let the motherfucker burn", those are classic rap lyrics "borrowed" from "The Roof Is on Fire" by Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three. (which you would've known had you bothered to visit the article for one fierce beer coaster).

[edit] Regarding unmarked revert of sourced material

Hi, just wondering why you removed "Goth Metal", when I sourced it with a reliable link?

It already stated in the article a bit further down that their second album borrows heavily from Gothic Metal... though they are predominantly a Nu-Metal band, which is why "Goth Metal" is only secondary.

Thoughts?... Thanks - Deathrocker 16:07, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

First off if you read the Gothic Metal article, it points out Goth Metal, and Gothic Metal, are two different things. Second, the source links to an AOL page which makes little mention of the band, and no mention of them being Gothic Metal. If you want to provide a source, do so, but lest make it a source that says what you want it to say, and list the correct genre to the correct place. Ley Shade 18:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

So are you suggesting that I put "Gothic Metal" instead of "Goth Metal"?

The AOL Music link I provided [1] clearly describes the band as "Musical Styles: Rap-Metal, Goth Metal, Heavy Metal." which is what I put in the genre box. - Deathrocker 19:05, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes i am. Goth Metal is in itself a misnomer when used in the context its being used in, as is mentioned in this section. The band borrows from the Gothic Metal style occasionally, what they do not borrow from is the Goth Metal style. I suggest either getting another source, or pointing out the misnomer.

Alright, I'll just put Gothic Metal.

You do know "Goth Metal" redirects to the Gothic Metal article, right? You may want to sort that out if Goth Metal is incorrect usage. - Deathrocker 00:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Im aware of it, but im unsure of how things stand in regards to redirecting to specific sections of articles. 81.157.83.176 00:51, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
