[edit] Things needed

Where is this song/game played (i.e. just in the U.S.)? Is it only in English? Is it a traditional song, or did someone write it in recent history? Links and sources would be awesome. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 15:32, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

They sung it on Barney a lot. But it was around way before then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.27.143.102 (talk) 02:57, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unreferenced tag

There is nothing unverifiable in the article, IMO, and each claim can be covered in the external links provided (i.e. the song's usage, it's lyrics, it's recursiveness, etc). Finding concrete references that can expand on what I've written so far is nearly impossible, I've been finding, and I feel the statements made in the article are covered. --Jeffrey O.

[edit] Thought you weren't supposed to nominate yourself?

Well, the rules don't apply to everyone, I know. --Mattisse 00:26, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

<shrugs> Impatient. Plus, there were no objections, and everyone loved the hook. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 00:46, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

If you are saying that one cannot nominate an article one has written for DYK, then you are very misguided. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 03:58, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

I think Mattisse is saying that Jeffrey O. Gustafson, who authored the article, shouldn't have made the decision to add it to the actual template to be transcluded on the mainpage. Daniel 06:20, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, yes. No, one should not add their own nominations to the template. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:44, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
