Link colors...

Why are all the links on this page dark-red instead of the usual blue? Am I the only one seeing this? This is the only page I've ever seen this happen on. The links all work, they're just the wrong color for some reason, like it's pulling from a different .css file? Weird. Lurlock 23:56, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

The links look normal to me... Want to take another look and see if it has changed on your end? Perhaps it was something abnormal within your browser or your computer as a whole, and had nothing to do with Wikipedia itself? PaladinWhite 05:32, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

It's normal now. No idea what changed it. Very strange that it only happened on this one page, but I guess it's just one of those mysteries we'll never know... Lurlock 21:23, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Removal of lyrics (copyright infringement)

I'm going to remove the lyrics included in the article as a probable copyright infringement. As far as I can tell, nothing indicates that the lyrics have been released from copyright by Weird Al or any other entity; most standards hold that copyright expires after 70 years from either the work's creation or the author's death, and this time period has not passed in either case. If someone can provide proof that copyright is not violated by their inclusion, the lyrics can be re-added. PaladinWhite 05:32, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Sense of Humor?

Michael Jackson used to have a strong sense of humor because he allowed Yankovic to parody Beat It and Bad as Eat It and Fat. Did John Deacon have as strong a sense of humor as Michael Jackson? BulsaraAndDeacon (talk) 14:22, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Additional citations

Why and where does this article need additional citations for verification? What references does it need and how should they be added? Hyacinth (talk) 01:54, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Song writing credit

This song pops up when searching for songs written by John Deacon. The original is indeed written by him, but the parody not I guess? Shouldn't we credit Weird Al? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.214.150.252 (talk) 07:48, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Transfer Of Copyright To Queen

I found this:

Transfer Of Copyright To Queen

Did a starving artist Weird Al in 1981 transfer the copyright for this song to Queen? Did he get paid? What happened here? Is there a story here we can add to the article? Can anybody tap Weird Al on the shoulder & ask? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ace Frahm (talk • contribs) 20:16, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

I know this question was asked about a year ago, but I believe I have the answer (although it is speculative): in order to avoid any legal trouble, Yankovic just gave Queen the full copyright and sent them the royalties. Later, when Yankovic had a record contract, he was able to negotiate the royalties, but before he had this, I believe he was playing safe. Just a guess.--Gen.

Use in "The Walking Dead"

[1] (and others) have noted (eg enough to pass WP:TRIVIA that this song was used in the Season 8 premiere of The Walking Dead, though why it was used is a question. I'm just dropping this here, as its a very odd music choice (as noted by many sources) so it may have some more depth as the season goes on. --MASEM (t) 06:23, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

I think you already saw it, but I've added a section about that. This is such a bizarre thing, though! Thanks for pointing it out.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 14:22, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

That EW source is basically what I was hoping to see to understand why it was used, which helps solidify its inclusion. --MASEM (t) 14:33, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
