Remove the seperate song sections?

These should probably be removed since they are unneccessary- they don't provide much information. This naming and explaining of seperate songs was disallowed on The Marshall Mathers LP article, which it should be said, offered far more information on the songs than this article does, so I believe the sections should be removed entirely. Only the most notable songs should be mentioned. Leemorrison 10:52, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Agreed Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:53, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Disagreed. This is a case where attribution, not deletion, is called for. Groupthink (talk) 16:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Song meanings are about as POV as possible. It's not encyclopedic content. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 10:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I would like to further comment that Nirvana albums do not have separate song sections. I say this because we all know how much editing takes place on those articles.Tenacious D Fan (talk) 10:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Kielbasa

What is this song about? It talks about Dianetics and Krishna along with sexual references--I don't see the connection. --- Funky Voltron | Nov. 5, 2006

<^>v!!This album is connected!!v<^>

• All song titles serve as redirects to this album, have their own pages, or have been placed at the appropriate disambiguation pages.--Hraefen ^Talk 19:02, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Miscellanea

What's the deal with the fourth piece of miscellanea? That doesn't look like it belongs here or anywhere.

The greatest song in the world

In the film The Pick of Destiny JB and KG defeat the devil after playing a song they later describe at the end of the film as the "greatest song in the world" but then of course forget how it went. Should this be noted as THE greatest song in the world? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.177.64.119 (talk • contribs) 11:33, 3 December 2006 (UTC).

What the fuck is with the profanity tally?

Is wikipedia really the place to present the sections on profanity and marijuana references? I realize some people care about that sort of thing, but doesn't its placement in the article represent a non npov? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.201.11.2 (talk) 10:10, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

While I agree that profanity and cannabis refs shouldn't comprise their own section, they're definitely relevant to this article. Encouraging cussing and pot use (not to mention coprophilia) are fundamental to the politics of "The D". Now you could argue that since Tenacious D are a comedy act, you can't take any of their material seriously, but I would assert in return that what Tenacious D does is more than comedy, it's satire, and satire can make and has made political statements. Consequently I've restored the cannabis refs to the "Miscellenia" section, where they should stay until that section is integrated with the main article. Remember folks, Wikipedia is not censored.

First off, the swear count is wrong, for the simple reason that "cockass" or "cockiass" or whatever is POV ridden by trying to disect it into 2 swearwords. This immediately undermines any accuracy in the swear count. I have a feeling someone took all the lyrics from one of these lyric sites, and did some searches on Word. Secondly, this isn't relevant. And I find it utterly patronizing being told that Wikipedia is not censored. I obviously completely agree! Please reply to this, and hopefully we can get some more editors to thrash something out. In the interim, its getting removed. In summary, I am removing this because it is effectively wrong. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 10:56, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I think the use of lyrics in this way to prove weed usage is deprecated. Perhaps if an exposition of the lyrical narrative of the first album is needed, it could be something like In Utero. It doesn't break all the song sections down, but rather has a whole para on lyrics. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 11:03, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Interesting stuff

I think there needs to be a bit of discussion on how/why the D hired certain people to play on the album. I have some interesting stuff on the Warren Fitzgerald/Kyle Gass relationship here and here. In addition some stuff on Matt Marshall here and here. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:46, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Failed GAN

Sorry, but I have to fail this for GAN. This is far off from GA. There is no info (at least sourced) info on writing, recording, or reception, there is absolutly no reason for song info sections. Sorry, check out this for examples of good album articles. Burningclean _[speak] 23:11, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
