Military use
As with "Wind of Change", I've seen in a documentary that this should be commonly used by US troops. Any truth to the subject anyone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.167.148.208 (talk) 19:59, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Lyrics: Honkey vs Monkey
Unless I have misunderstood the wording of this paragraph, the lyric in Fire Water Burn is Honkey. It's pronounced pretty clearly, as far as I can tell, and the first 10 Google results agree. This is the second time that it has been undone, so it should be discussed until we can come to a consensus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Primal400 (talk • contribs) 02:09, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

As there is a lot of gay slang Honkey is probable. Know and understand what the text says. In fact it's gay initiation music as school fifth grade, for example, is the entrance age, ten years, to Gay (Lot more Hints). Live open Gay, have real strong shelter against Gay (not just parents and church) or suffer (by 91%) for being Gay and not living open (D-E). It's serious, stronger than the crafts (300), 500: a scene, a Club, a Hierarchy, a Polytheism, rule over life and death, one way to live and die both in and of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.152.137.240 (talk) 11:35, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Lyrics: Reference to Rancid - Burn?
Is it known if the part of the lyrics "We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn" is taken from the song "Burn", published in 1994 by the band Rancid?

Earliest date to the lyrics is from Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three's 1986 song "The Roof is on Fire" []  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:302:D1FF:2280:C507:2774:84A7:45E4 (talk) 05:32, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Religious connotations
Presently the article regarding the music video states that "The video culminates when the elderly notice the band, and are rejuvenated by their performance."

I believe this to be incorrect as a number of the elderly are seen occasionally glancing at the band, as well as the concept of 'rejuvenation' being somewhat obscure.

At approximately 2:45 seconds into the music video Jimmy Pop makes a crucifix gesture with his arms and a light shines on him. It seems much more likely that the elderly identify this as a religious gesture, giving the audience a subject which they can relate to given that they are unable to actually hear the music. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.175.39.138 (talk) 07:26, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Elements acting (Of the western four Elements System)
The Greek are associated with being the Fire, greek being a language of the Fire Element, Water is Knowledge and a description of Hebrews. A Person acting (Gesturing etc.) for the Greek having knowledge is burning something in the point where the knowledge goes, as Greek is female. Text and Title are about this. The Symbol "roof" is for Church, Nobility, Elite Universitys, Government, Military and so on, often run by greeks as part of the Aleksander the Great Military Campaign still going on. US President Donald Trump does serve (the remains of) the Hebrew Temple in Jerusalem which is one of the Temples where Aleksander the Great did sacrifice and subdued them to being part of his Military Campaign. This resulted and does result in the specific gypsum (plaster) deserts in nowadays Iran; other types of desert result without the Hebrew by misled Greek, sometimes in hunt for astral copies of the old Persians (NATO Star, Aramaic, another one of those Temples). Military knows, can and does use such things in general while others just serve (can't control the fire) but can sing about it. This Band in fact speaks aramaic (leaves)(d). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.152.137.240 (talk) 09:57, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Cover versions
In wich way cover versions of the song should be added? I was especially thinking about the German Version "Mein Ruf ist im Eimer" by Heinz aus Wien, but there are also other ones. --Diogenes2000 (talk) 13:59, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
