[edit] title meanings page
I added a rejoinder to the title meanings section, previously called alternate meanings, stating that the modern usage of the album's title as a term of derision has no relation to how that title was initially used and received. I'm not sure that this section even belongs on the page, but I did not want to remove someone else's work.PJtP 19:01, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Possibly the most bizarre wikipedia edit ever:
"Its evolution of the phrase into a snowclone - as expressed in the Simpsons pastiche "Fifty million smokers can't be wrong," for example - ironically ridicules argumentum ad populum, the misconception that popularity or consensus equals validity. This postmodern interpretation, however, has no bearing on how the title was received by Elvis fans in the 1950s and early 1960s, or on the intent of the phrase as used by RCA to market the album." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.240.106.182 (talk) 22:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
