And why are you moving this exactly? I though it perfectly belonged in the credits section. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 22:41, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

No the name of the lyricist/singer goes there. Plus I think vids in articles look ugly.    Orian57    Talk   22:43 7 July 2009

This is an UnTune, not just your regular article. It's kinda different. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 22:47, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Plus, it makes it easier for unfamilar visitors to get the joke of the images. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 22:48, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah but look at how others are formatted. This is extra, unentertaining information, which, if anywhere, goes on the talk page. I mean you can do it however you like but I just think this is better. And it should be easy enough to geuss that all the images came from the same video. If not tehy'll probably check out the talk page anyway.    Orian57    Talk   22:50 7 July 2009

Check out the talkpage? Seems unlikely. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 22:53, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Really? I do that all the time. But even so, the joke is obvious enough and there's nothing worse than explaining it.    Orian57    Talk   22:54 7 July 2009

Yeah, but by your reasoning, there shouldn't even be a credit section. And I'd like to take the credit for uploading those images. That animation took some effort to make. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 22:57, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

No there's credits for the writer and singer. Not images, or not that I've seen on any other UnTune. And I'm not saying it didn't take effort, but Sonje doesn't go around slapping her name on articles because she made images for them. I don't want to turn this into any kind of drama though, I'm just saying it's not normally done and I don't think it needs to be, esspecially because the joke in the images is fairly obviouse. And I don't know where you getting the idea that I said there should be no credit section. I don't want to fall out over this though so, you know, do what you what you want. I was only trying to help.    Orian57    Talk   23:06 7 July 2009

I know what you mean, but the images play a very important role in this UnTune. UnTunes usually have very few images, but here it's almost like a video clip. And with those images, I'm actually parodying that exact video clip with all the sad girls and stuff. So I'm just basically showing people the source that I'm parodying, not explaining the joke or anything. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 23:22, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate you trying to help, but I'm just afraid that most people would be too lazy to look for the source material and would completely miss the joke because of that. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 23:34, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Not to start anything again, but who would scroll to the bottom of an article to find out more about it? if they don't get it by listening to the audio, which I think you've said your looking into having done, then they probably won't get it. And you just have to live with that, no doubt there's people who have never heard of LazyTown and despite my best efforts won't get the joke. And I am of the opinion that there's nothing worse than a joke - or any peice of writing - having to explain itself. And I'm also saying that with this it's funny anyway, regardless of if they've heard the original or not. Anyway, I'm gonna leave it now. I still think it's good.    Orian57    Talk   23:45 7 July 2009
