Talk:Santeria (song)

Disambiguation?
Santeria should have a disambiguation page, obviously it has more than one meaning.. Also, it'd be cool if you could identify each version of the song the way they're identified on the CD. I think brad's version is Uptown Dub, and the really remixxy one is Eerie Splendor Remix. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.182.51 (talk) 23:06, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Free Rock Band2 Content?
Where is it said that this song is going to be provided as RB2 DLC?

Wrong use for Term
Sancho is term colloquially used for in the Western states to refer to man who sleeps with the girlfriend of an imprisoned man. It is a synonym for "Sport-coat". a Hannah is a girl who sleeps around while her boyfriend is in jail or prison. Please fix the main page. Looking up either term in an anthropological periodical should clear that up. The songs own lyrics explain the terms.

Wrong source of song
"song evolved out of a short instrumental on Robbin' the Hood called "Lincoln Highway Dub" Album is definitely correct, but the song I think was "Pool Shark Acoutstic", could you please verify.

Wrong reference to actor in Music Video
Donald Faison was in the Santeria video. Just listening to an interview with him and he verified that he was in the video let alone felt a connection to the song "Santeria" and the band Sublime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.115.238.67 (talk) 16:14, 30 November 2011 (UTC) Just watch the video. There is no doubt, that Donal Faison is in it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.138.119.37 (talk) 15:33, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Context Section Speculation
The end of the context section makes a less than objective case for the song being about some kind of vague Illuminati threat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuaveExplosion (talk • contribs) 10:02, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Alternative Interpreation
I posted this on the main page, but someone removed it. Perhaps it fits better on this talk page:

An alternative interpretation is that the song is a metaphor for the lead singer's heroin addiction. In the song, Brad reflects on his battle with drugs and his vow to kick the habit with the birth of his child. "It's quite possible 'Sancho' was a metaphor for Heroin, and 'Heina' was a metaphor for his soul/life. Brad wants to get revenge on the Heron for stealing his life away from him."[1] "This isn't some [BS] song about a girlfriend cheating on her boyfriend; it's much deeper than that. This is about a father cheating on his kid with drugs... The[re] is a lot of pain and sadness in this song but, at the same time there is also a tremendous amount of hope. Hope that he can overcome his own demons and just love his son. Sad that is was not to be."[2]— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:B:800:9B7:11B8:B3D4:55BD:3C07 (talk) 19:48, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

I removed it because neither source is credible on the situation. One source quotes a random comment on a song lyrics page. Only the band members can definitely answer the question. If they haven't given one, then the only other interpretations we can use are by a noted expert in the field (such as a music critic) publishing it from a reliable third party source. --Ted87 (talk) 11:28, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Contradictory information
This article simultaneously states the song was released before AND after Nowell's death. Can someone clear that up? Gaiole (talk) 04:09, 2 November 2014 (UTC)


 * It says that the single was released before his death, but the music video was filmed after his death. --Ted87 (talk) 11:19, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
