Annotated lyrics[edit]

I BJAODNed and commented out the odd Pop-Up Video science trivia, but uncommented the Samson and Delilah entry because someone might actually want to see that on this page. Amelia Earhart is a borderline case, so I let it stay. Should the possibility be entertained that these actually are copyvios from Pop-Up Video or a similar thing? Nickptar 07:51, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No, it's all original for this article. I also think BJAODNing these section is wrong, because these aren't some kind of nonsense or joke. And when you look around the internet, there are a couple of forums discussing the song where exactly these questions frequently come up. Especially "Why the sky is blue?"... --Fritz S. 09:54, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
In themselves they aren't nonsense or jokes, but they're pretty weird to have in this article. But if you think they should be there, I won't fight it. Nickptar 19:29, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I think they are very wierd in this article and do not belong. They definately would not be in an enyclopedia - they sound smart arsed and stupid. Aaadddaaammm 20:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The section has been buging me (and other people, apparently) for some while now, so I removed it and replaced it with the See also section with links to the related articles. --Fritz S. (Talk) 20:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC) I removed the "See Also" section. Irrelevant to encyclopedia entry on the song. Achromatic (talk) 01:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed opinions[edit]

I just removed the following information from the article, as it consists mostly of someone's (uncited) opinions:

The B-side was "The Decency League", a cynical and bitter song about suppression and censorship of sex by Christian "decency leagues". Alexander sings, "The decency league, dedicated to stopping all sexual behaviour/I'm merely trying to deprive all those of the reasonable use of their sexual organs".

Opinions again[edit]

The following section has many opinions and unsourced info, but there is some good information included. Does anyone have suggestions for which parts we should leave in and which we should remove?

It is a midtempo ballad about lost love and regret, in which the singer asks a series of rhetorical questions and compares them to the end of his relationship, suggesting that issues of love and breaking up pose questions that will never be answered. The line "I'm speeding by the place that I met you for the 97th time tonight" led some to interpret the song as the account of an obsessive stalker, though others suspect Alexander used the number 97 because of the year the band formed.

As no one has voiced any suggestions for what to keep or get rid of, I will rewrite the above section to omit uncited info and opinions. If anyone feels my changes aren't constructive, please let me know. —Anotheronewiki (talk) 13:08, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
