Biohazard[edit]

If their work/association with Biohazard was important why is it not (i.e. it ought to be) mentioned in their article too? --kingboyk 05:06, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can only speak for the article that I, personally, wrote. I felt it was significant in Mucky Pup's history and therefor, added it. The person who initially wrote Biohazard's info, either felt differently or was just unaware there was such a collaboration. I'll check out the Biohazard entry and see if I can find a place to insert the info.JohnBWatt

Good stuff, cheers. --kingboyk 07:14, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Your interest in the inclusion, led me to completely rewriting the Biohazard article, who I was also pretty familiar with.--JohnBWatt 03:28, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great, I can see you put a lot of time and effort it. I think I saw Biohazard once or twice at festivals in the early 90s, but you know how memories fade from eras such as that :-)

I have a question re Mucky Pup. These are the guys who did the song "The Skinheads Broke My Walkman", is that correct? If so, where can I get it? Also, do you know who they toured with in the UK in the early 90s? I'm pretty sure I've seen them, and I have an idea it was as support to Carter USM. Would that be right? --kingboyk 23:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To answer your other question, about "The Skinheads Broke My Walkman," are you looking for the song or the entire album? If you need just the song, I can send it to you. The album it's on, is Act Of Faith and can be usually be found on the European E-Bay and Amazon sites, pretty cheap. --JohnBWatt

OK, I'll take a look see if I can buy myself a copy, thanks. --kingboyk 00:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The heart symbol on U Stink[edit]

I've changed the heart symbol because while the it does appear in the song title on the flexi-disc, the song is U Stink But I LOVE You and that is how it appears on the album. Secondly, some computers do not have the font that displays the font properly. I know for a fact because one of my older computers displays it as a box instead.

I'll humbly disagree here. The published title of the song is "U-Stink-But-I-♥-U" (as printed in the book and on the disc), and should be listed as such on this page, as it is on the Billy and the Boingers page. I've just checked this page on two Macs and two PCs (one XP, one Win98) and it displays just fine. TheRealFennShysa 17:04, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It does NOT show on my Windows ME computer. I know that for a fact. JohnBWatt

I'm sorry, but that doesn't change the fact that the verifiable published title of the song is "U-Stink-But-I-♥-U", which is what the article should reflect. TheRealFennShysa 17:20, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm holding the disc in my hands now. If we're going to go by the logic of what's printed on the disc, then we can both seen as wrong. While the disc has the heart, the artwork simply lists the song as "U-Stink." Not looking for an argument but my point in the whole matter is why list in a way where people may not understand it, when the word itself is always going to show up? JohnBWatt

Does the "U-Stink-But-I-♥-U" (done by HTML code) work any better? TheRealFennShysa 17:29, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't know right now because that computer is at another house. I was at that house editing the article when I noticed it one time. JohnBWatt

Stories[edit]

I know it's tough, especially for a band like this where info is hard to come by, but I remember this band having a lot personality (and having some pretty funny stories regarding some, perhaps all, of their members that came and went). This article isn't bad, and it's great that bands like this are getting there due on wikipedia, but its kind of dry. I think it needs a lot more regarding the personality of the band (because there was A LOT of it). I realize this is easier said than done. I'll even concede, personally, I wouldn't know where or even how to start.

I know a bunch of the band members personally and while I could have added those kinds of stories to the article, I don't think funny anecdotes are appropriate for the Wikipedia entry. Their own website is the place for that kind of stuff while this should be left for information and history. JohnBWatt 21:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Milnes[edit]

This is my first Wikipedia talk I've been on so I apologise in advance if I sound naive. I am a Mucky Pup fan from when i bought their first vinyl when I was about 16. I have only just started listening to them again on Spotify after about 30 years (sold my record player, arghhh) Anyway to cut a potentionally very long story shortish I would like to know if anyone knows which songs Predator covered? If this is controlled by a bot I'm going to scream lol
