Why does it say Scott wrote the song, the source for it is some random blog and a reddit post.. pretty sure Mark wrote it

Easter egg?[edit]

anyone ever notice that blink took a line from guns and roses "Sweet Child of mine"??

Sweet Child of Mines: Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that special place

Josie: I See her pretty face It takes me away to a better place

Should this go in Trivia? I mean, It's like in Adam's song when it answers nirvana's "Come as you are". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.35.75.196 (talk) 16:31, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia[edit]

The trivia section said "

The song has been used in a commercial for Arthur (TV series) repeating the words "Well I guess this is growing up"." which is wrong, that is Dammit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.74.136 (talk) 01:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Australia Version of Josie (Single)[edit]

Hey,

I have a different version of the Josie Single that was released here in Australia. It's track listing is:

1 Josie (Everything's Gonna Be Fine) 2 Untitled (Live) 3 Dammit (Live) 4 Does My Breath Smell? (Live) 5 Wasting Time (Live)

It has a different cover which has a photo of the band (when Scott was in the band) behind a golf ball which has Blink 182 on the front of it.

I can provide scans/photos of it if proof is needed..

Clofts (talk) 14:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC) It also has a release date of around late April 1998 (it entered the top 100 on May 4 1998) to coincide with their Australian tour at the time however I can't find a source with a specific date 122.150.153.216 (talk) 01:47, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

Someone put "Sex is fun" in the trivia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.37.89 (talk) 23:43, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everything's Gonna Be Fine[edit]

Video[edit]

Article title[edit]

The article is currently titled "Josie (Everything's Gonna Be Fine)", and the opening sentence identifies the subject as "'Josie (Everything's Gonna Be Fine)' (often shortened to 'Josie')". I am curious as to why the parenthetical "(Everything's Gonna Be Fine)" is considered part of the song title proper, and why just "Josie" is considered a "shortening" of the title. I have several Blink-182 releases on which this song appears laid out in front of me: The Dude Ranch album, the "Josie" US CD-single, the Greatest Hits album, and both VHS and DVD copies of The Urethra Chronicles. All list the song as just "Josie", on both the back covers and inside liner notes (and in the case of the CD-single, on the front cover as well). Not a single one of these carries the parenthetical "(Everything's Gonna Be Fine)". What, then, is the source of the parenthetical in this article? I can imagine it being added to the on-screen information of the music video when it was played on television, as was often common for songs whose titles did not appear in their lyrics, but it does not actually appear to be part of the song title on any Blink-182 release. I therefore propose that the article be moved to the title Josie (Blink-182 song) (disambiguation being necessary; see Josie), with the lead sentence adjusted to indicate that the parenthetical is sometimes appended as a subtitle. --IllaZilla (talk) 19:31, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since it's been over a week with no response (I also posted at Talk:Dude Ranch (album)#Song titles), I'm going to be bold and make the moves. --IllaZilla (talk) 20:57, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
