The Chinese characters are wo cai (type of vegetable) I think. Don't know how to type Chinese on Wikipedia though, so I'll leave that for someone else to modify.

[edit] Seeking source for use of song on Jeopardy! episode

This statement was removed from the article for being unsourced:

On May 15, 2002, the song was played over a montage of more unsuccessful contestants on the show during a special celebrating the 4000th episode of Jeopardy! as hosted by Alex Trebek.

I'm quite certain this is verifiable, but I will try and look for a source if that's what is desired on the page. --Scani 00:50, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

It's what needed on every page. The date should have been properly formatted too, by the way. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 09:16, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why the call for deletion?

This makes no sense to me, There are plenty of popular songs that have their own pages. I vote VERY STRONG! no delete. User:Akcarver 01:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I also agree. Why should it be deleted? WHY?!? Holiday56 23:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I would advise both of you to make your opinions known at this article's AfD page, not here. The AfD nomination expires on May 19th. --Scani 23:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

The plumber from Brooklyn sounds like a reference to Super Mario Bros. Is this worth mentioning? I have no experience editing wikis so I'll make no changes. 83.253.201.119 00:15, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Interesting observation! Personally, I'm inclined to disagree, considering the single was released before Super Mario Bros.' release in the States (1984 vs. 1985). Then again, I may not be taking into account the popularity of arcade titles in the series prior to then. Regardless, Wikipedia has a policy that does not allow original research on articles, so your suggestion can't appear in an article unless there's an independent and reliable source that states the Brooklyn plumber was an SMB reference. Thanks for your interest in Wikipedia, and don't be afraid to edit other pages if you see fit! --Scani 02:38, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I Lost on Jeopardy on Jeopardy

Just now i saw an episode of Jeopardy in which Weird Al appeared narrating a video clue. The Category was "80s Rock", the answer was something along the lines of "This 1984 music video of mine reunited Art Fleming and Don Pardo." though i don't know if that's the exactly how it was worded, and of course the question was "What is I Lost on Jeopardy."The Great Morgil 17:45, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
