[edit] Meaning
I heard on the music de al de la salle brennan is a fag! it was about the lead singer's brother; anyone else hear this and have a source for that, or was the DJ making things up? Kuronue 13:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- The DJ was probably referring to "Over My Head (Cable Car)", which is about Isaac Slade's brother. Teemu08 17:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

- Ah, he must have had it mixed up, since he said it during the opening phrases of "How to save a life" that "this song is about the lead singer's brother". Ah well. I still <3 the song. Kuronue 00:47, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The PS3 Song
There's a parody of this song on Youtube (as well as in other sites) titled "How to Kill a Brand" which pretty much bashes the PS3 console after it's launch. Does this deserve to be mentioned in the article? Vic729 13:30, October 23rd, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removing unsupported interpretations
Removing unsupported interpretations is absurd as this is a song that is left completely open. Interpretations are true as long as someone believes them 71.202.240.68 (talk) 00:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- If we listed every single peron's individual interpretation of this song, and others, the article would become enormous in length and would not be nice to read. Your interpretations are no more important than those of others and so they don't deserve to be there when other people's aren't. All that is irrelevant though, as what you have written has no source and is original research and no-one is going to let that stay in the article. asyndeton talk 01:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] References
Can the references 6, 7 and 8 be called that as they don't actually link anywhere? Londonsista (talk) 01:56, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- 7 and 8 are both some sort of reference as they cite a particular date for the peak position on the charts, even though they don't link to a source. Ref 6 isn't really a reference - it's a note - so the subheading could be changed to "notes and references". •97198 talk 11:56, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
