Comparison to "Know"[edit]

I don't really get the supposed time sig similarities. Both use 4/4 (but, then again, so do the vast majority of popular songs) but with totally different accentings (Sugar having a more simplistic beat, apart from the fills). Plus, Know has sections in 7/8 - as far as I know, Sugar doesn't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.54.186 (talk) 09:57, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Conflicting information.[edit]

It says that Sako is a drum tech, then a gun manufacturer. Which one?

Both. Sako is the name of the drum tech, and the company that manufactures guns is called SAKO.

Whoa![edit]

The article says Aspartame can induce homocidal tendencies... holy crap. Is this true? I propose getting rid of that unless a source is found immediately. In addition IF we find a source, I suggest adding it to the appropriate article about the substance. Sorry if this comment's off-topic, it's just that it IS in the article. EDIT: In accordance with the "Be Bold" policy, I have removed the sentence and the things that would be made illogical/grammatically incorrect because of that sentence's removal, amounting to three sentences.199.126.134.144 04:24, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Network?[edit]

I just watched the movie Network, because of this article, and I didn't see the so-called scene, which was "re-enacted" in the Sugar video. Is it just me? (Did I just fall asleep during the movie?) --Szajd 21:27, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The opening may have been influenced by the Sidney Lumet speech in Network. However, it is not a reenactment. I also don't believe the resemblance is strong enough to be a parody. Therefore, I have left any reference to this scene out of the entry. --rd media editor 21:12, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I;d say this song is nu-metal, because of the rap-like verses. change the genre? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.223.181.214 (talk) 04:19, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is the deal here with no citation for the mushroom people lyric refering to Mario? Following the link about the drink it looks to me more likely they were referring to the origins of the drink. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.185.139.73 (talk) 00:13, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Backwards lyrics[edit]

This song has fairly clear lyrics when played backwards explaining some of the more indecipherable lyrics when played in a standard fashion. It seems like this should be covered in the wiki page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.8.4.91 (talk) 06:26, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
