A Great Episode featured a redition of im just a teenage dirtbag can anyone tell me who did that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.202.186.210 (talk • contribs)
- I just saw a repeat of that episode, and the guy's name was Earl Oakum. I'm quite sure about the spelling of his surname, though. Blarneytherinosaur 05:06, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Earl Okin. His version of Song 2 was awesome, too. Wwwhhh 04:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Proposed Merger
I believe that the proposed merger should go ahead. The two articles clearly refer to the same subject. Blarneytherinosaur 02:31, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Never Mind the Buzzcocks
Never Mind the Buzzcocks has a link here, should we link back there? Does anyone know if there's any link between the shows, or are they just a similar concept? 59.167.54.213 11:13, 14 April 2007 (UTC)Dave
Maybe it's vandalism --Pezzar 04:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- From what I've read, they are similar and use the one song to the tune of another concept for a game - substitute in S&S BradK 05:16, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

- The list of question formats in the Never Mind the Buzzcocks article is different from that for S&S. There's no overlap, and the NMTB list doesn't include the 'Substitute' style of question. So what's the basis for saying they are similar? I don't think there's a justification for stating a similarity in the first line of the article. Most of the readers of the article will be Australian, why define the program for them in the opening sentence by comparison to a foreign show which has different question formats? I'm going to move this reference further down the lead section, unless there's a citation to show a more concrete link than the similarity of mixing comedy and music.

What a load of crap. It's a direct rip-off. But don't tell Australians that. They'll think it's 'original'. Wikipedia really is a pile of dogshite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.23.146.66 (talk) 07:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Most confusing sentence on Wiki award
This must be in the top ten.
"Spicks and Specks" is the first hit song by the pop group The Bee Gees from which the TV show takes its name and which the show's theme music is based on, with all the lyrics but "the spicks and the specks" being replaced by "na na na's". --210.23.146.66 (talk) 21:40, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
