Talk:Pepper (song)

Fair use rationale for Image:Butthole Surfers Pepper Front.jpg
Image:Butthole Surfers Pepper Front.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I have a vague memory of this song or something like it being used in some kind of comercial or PSA (public service announcement) about safe sex or AIDS or something... does anyone have any information about this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.53.116.182 (talk) 04:48, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

No longer a stub, and other ideas for this article
This article, I think, is pretty darn good, especially with the new addition about the backwards track. If you agree, please feel free to remove the "Stub" label and upgrade it to a "please expand" label.

Expansion suggestions:

It'd be great if someone who knew alot about music would explain about how the track works musically.

Does anyone know who played what on the track, how it was mixed or produced?

Are there any citable interviews with the author/composer with any insight into the song?

Could someone e-mail the band and ask them what they think about the article? Maybe they have some insight/suggestions.

How about an intro saying something like "this is the band's most popular song by far" and telling how many copies it sold or something. Assuming that's a citable fact, that is. Or even if it's just knowable, not even citable, go ahead and put it in if it's sure enough of a fact. Facts that are not likely to be challenged don't need citations. Maybe the author of the backwards track bit just checked it him/herself somehow. Sure that's "original research" but it improved the article. Later, we could add a sample from the track where it is played backwards, that'd be proof enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisrus (talk • contribs) 06:50, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Looking for a "reputable" source article for the connection between "Pepper" and Jim Carroll's "People Who Died". Kirkesque (talk) 16:28, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Ten Characters
I count nine names, plus the "ever-present Football player rapist". Only four are described as dying or encountering potentially fatal events. If correct, the description of ten characters who either die or come close is wrong. MartinSFSA (talk) 17:39, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
