Does this song have the same guitar solo as The invisible girl? Or am i just tired and dillusional... (and can't spell =P) Abbott75 12:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

While I'm all for promoting local bands is it really notable enough to include the Korea Girl cover on this page? Seems like a shameless plug Ciper 03:09, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think "pop" is a bit overused in the first sentence..."pop song written and performed by pop singer" is a bit much. But later on, the article says that Springfield won the Grammy for Male ROCK Vocal Performance. Is pop a misnomer, or what? Pepsidude 23:00, 2 October 2007 (US)

Re: the citation request. Five seconds of Googling turned up these links, and one from hubpages which is apparently blocked. http://www.antimusic.com/news/06/oct/27.shtml

It's such a specific claim, it's hard to imagine anybody really disputing it. I'm adding them here so somebody with more authority or experience can pick one out and formally cite it in the article. SMA11784 (talk) 07:38, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a bit of a contradiction to suggest someone was lazy for not trying to find a source, but then not incorporate the sourcing yourself...anyhow, Wikipedia:Citeweb has the coding you'd need to incorporate the sources. I'm not able to review them myself from my current location. Cheers! Doniago (talk) 16:52, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
