Talk:Same Song

Cameo
Looks like Chevy Chase to me, not Dan Aykroyd. - KitchM (talk) 03:29, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I can't seem to find a source discussing this, but looking at the video, Chase only shows up in brief scenes from the film. The footage shot for the video is, to my eyes, clearly Dan Aykroyd. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 03:58, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Evidently, the sheriff is Dan Aykroyd in makeup, and that makes him unrecognizable to many, including myself. Chevy Chase is more recognizable as not being in makeup.  That may be the difference we see. - KitchM (talk) 13:17, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Aykroyd is the sheriff in makeup in scenes from the film (along with several other roles: judge, daughter, mutant twins). Chase is also shown in scenes from the film. Aykroyd, however, also was part of the scenes at the drive-in filmed specifically for the video, again in fairly heavy makeup. While I encourage a careful viewing of the video to spot Aykroyd, I cannot in good conscience recommend watching the film for any reason. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 01:45, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Right. That's why this is just about the music video.  And that is why the reference in the article should be changed to represent the fact that the actor which people will most likely recognize is not Aykroyd but rather Chase. - KitchM (talk) 10:15, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The article was apparently trying to point out that Aykroyd was in the drive-in scenes shot for the video. I've done a bit of a rewrite to clarify. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 00:34, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's good. I also made a few changes for clarity.  I hope you like. - KitchM (talk) 02:26, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Your edit ignores that Aykroyd was in the scenes shot for the video and singles out two of the 15 or so people who are shown in the clips from the movie. There is no reason to mention Chase over anyone else from the film. There is reason to mention Aykroyd. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 03:46, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright, let's try it this way; forgetting the actors in the movie segments, where in the video do you see Dan Aykroyd? - KitchM (talk) 18:02, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the edit. That helps. I forgot to give you these stats in which you may be interested. The number of appearances by individuals in the movie portion of the video is
 * Chevy Chase = 11
 * Demi Moore = 8
 * Dan Aykroyd (in makeup) = 4
 * John Candy = 2
 * Unknown female character #1 = 4
 * Unknown male character #1 = 1
 * Unknown male character #2 = 1
 * Unknown male character #3 = 1
 * Unknown (possibly Chase) = 1
 * Strange character #1 = 1
 * Strange character #2 = 1
 * Plus others in car, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KitchM (talk • contribs) 20:59, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
