Talk:Thrift Shop

Comedy?
Seriously, people, why do people keep insisting this song is "comedy hip-hop"? First sentence of that article: "...that is comedic in nature." This song isn't supposed to be comedic, although it's funny at times. Read the citations... Macklemore seriously thrifts. This isn't supposed to be taking the piss out of people who shop at thrift stores. Just because there's punchlines, it doesn't make it comedy hip-hop, because then that would encompass 90% of rap.

 * I agree, even though some words/parts are funny I don't think it is comedy hip-hop, it's not like The Lonely Island with "Jizz in My Pants" or "I Just Had Sex".  NYSM y talk page  02:23, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not poking fun at people who shop at thrift stores, it's (indirectly) poking fun at mainstream rap's celebration of materialism. FiredanceThroughTheNight (talk) 16:37, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

music video
Why is there not a plot summary of the music video? TheMouthofSauron (talk) 17:10, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Thrift Shop (song) → Thrift Shop – Per WP:DIFFCAPS and this section of WP:NCCAPS, a difference in capitalization is sufficient disambiguation, making the (song) unnecessary.  — PinkAmpers  &#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  01:44, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Support Clearer case than the canonical Red Meat/Red meat example since the sentence-case form is only a redirect in this case. I don't know how WP:ENGVAR works out here—in my experience as an American, "thrift store" is far and away the most common name used for the type of store. If someone told me they were going to a thrift shop, I'd understand, just as if they said they were going to a hardware shop, but in this case, I think hatnotes are the way to go. I suspect anyone typing in "Thrift Shop" with title-case capitalization is indeed looking for the song. --BDD (talk) 16:45, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Support per nom and BDD. Considering that the type of store is more usually called a "thrift store" than a "thrift shop", and that different capitalization is sufficient to distinguish articles anyway, there's no reason not to put this at the base title Thrift Shop.--Cúchullain t/ c 21:51, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
