[edit] Contradiction?

Isn't "explicitly implying" a contradiction? —tregoweth (talk) 01:16, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Fixed, and reworded the paragraph a bit. FekketCantenel 19:39, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy

An official citation would be much-appreciated in the paragraph about the controversial video. I can't seem to find an interview or other statement to back up... anything. FekketCantenel 19:39, 3 June 2007 (UTC) I remember at the time seeing a TV show where they explained the video was created NOT with computer graphics, but a puppet in a tank, with a liquid filter over the camera lens. That will be why the computer graphics citation has not been found. I can't source my statement but at least people will look in the right direction. Klynchk 00:11, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I saw the same program, it was a puppet, I'm going to remove the 'computer animated' bit. --Dan Huby 14:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abortion

Excised the following as it is speculation not fit for an encyclopedia.

The teeney baby could be aborted in the video, since there are several hints to that in the lyrics and the video. First a substance is seen flowing through the imbilical cord into the baby. Then the music slows down, and the baby closes its eyes. Moments later, there is a flash of light and the baby shakes uncontrollably as the imbilical cord is seen tugging off (almost tearing) of the wall of the womb. A hand is seen above the stomach. The lyrics sing "You're stumbling a little." twice, and then the baby closes it's eyes, and the beeping sound stops. It is not sure if abortion is being pictured in the video, but it is a speculation made by several fans.

To the unregistered editor who posted it, please find proper citations for the abortion claim. "Several fans" is not a source. I appreciate your effort, and I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your interpretation, but Wikipedia articles should source extraordinary claims. See WP:OR (the paragraph reads like original research) and WP:V (it lacks a source for its main claim). You're welcome to discuss your viewpoints with me, but unless you find an article/interview/similar that supports the abortion idea, it should be left out of the article.

Wtf. So, if there is a clearly defined movie of a lemon (as observed by the fans) and the official statement from the artist of the movie is that it is depicting an apple, then it is an apple, and no lemon should be mentioned? I find your comment ignorant. /Farbror Grön.

[edit] Media Usage

I know for a fact that Teardrop was once featured on America's Got Talent on NBC as background music during the deliberations of the judges. I've looked and looked, though, and I can't find any reference to cite. It's as though I'm the only one in the world that remembers. --McSpork (talk) 21:09, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
