the song was also featured in an episode of how I met your mother where Ted’s long lost and now found love, a girl he refers to as the slutty pumpkin, sings it to him as a joke about it being their love song, a joke which Ted does does not understand and takes seriously.

Internal Link Aesthetics[edit]

I personally think it's a little better to not have any internal links on the right side of each phrase, for two reasons. 1) it visually hilights the actual phrases of the song if only the left side is hilighted; granted, there are other ways to hilight the first part, but 2) anyone can get to the right-side links (eg. sushi or Japanese) by first clicking on the left side links (eg. wasabi) and then clicking further. I don't feel terribly strongly on this though, it's just an aesthetic suggestion. --Interiot 00:22, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Strange external link[edit]

It linked to a google search: "Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes" "in tune with Sailor Moon" That doesn't make sense.

The specific search terms don't have to make sense. However, every result on the google page lists the lyrics for this song, so it's not a useless link. I've added it back. --Interiot 20:56, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re-recorded?[edit]

I've listened to this song on three CDs (Stunt, Totally Hits, and Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits) and it sounds different on each one. Is it re-recorded every time it appears on another CD? If it is, I think that's worth mentioning in the article. MotherFerginPrincess (talk) 13:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Candy Bar[edit]

Since my correction got reverted, I'll try to discuss it here. Should, or should not, an article about a song by a Canadian band (and presumably thusly, a Canadian song) be in Canadian English, or first come, first serve style? I (obviously) believe the former, but I'm trying to solicit some other opinions. WilyD 18:08, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a debatable point, but should an article about Australia only use Colour instead of Color? Who knows. Candy bar is the name of the article though. I am from Canada, and Candy bar is perfectly acceptable English up here. I have also heard that there is some sort of FDA-type regulations about Candy bar vs. Chocolate bar in terms of the percentage of chocolate content in the product, but I haven't been able to confirm this. To be honest, the best reasoning to me is that everyone can agree it falls into the Category of 'Candy bar'. Americans might say that it doesn't fall into the 'chocolate bar' category. It would make sense to me to use the the term that can't be misinterpreted... But it's just a Snickers, so it's really not the most crucial distinction of fact in the world, right?

In general there's some debate about what kind of English should be used in articles, due to wide variations, but the only sort of "agreed upon" guideline is that it should be consistant throughout an article. And you'll find that articles about Australia will use Australian english. Although Canadians may often use terms from any and all sorts of english, 'candy bar' is not really found in Canadian English, 'chocolate bar' is the equivilent term - I'll take a look at a snicker's bar later and see what it says.

>>I'll take a look at a snicker's bar later and see what it says.

That would probably be the most efficient way to go about it... TheHYPO 08:21, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrical References[edit]

I mean, what? 'Vanilla - a popular flavor'? I mean, I can understand some of the others (chickety-china the chinese chicken for example), but some of these look like jokes or just very weird. 84.64.56.174 (talk) 21:27, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you referring to the song itself, or this article? TheHYPO (talk) 08:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about the original post, but it does seem a bit of a stretch to say the song is popular because of "many" pop culture references and then produce a list including references such as "wasabi" and "vanilla". It seems the number of "pop culture" references is about four, maybe. If you lump all the X-Files references together, and discount mention of musicians, you have two. (Does saying "in the house" in French count as "pop culture"? Or mentioning Swiss Chalet? I think not.) Actually, by the definition of "pop culture" reference used here, I think this post of mine contains an inordinate number of such references, such as the words "the" and "pop" and the word "produce". 128.164.107.163 (talk) 22:16, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you ignoring Aquaman, Leann Rimes, Bert Kempfert, Vertigo, Harrison Ford, Frantic, Sting, Snickers, Kurosawa, Sailor Moon... ? Or do you just not think those are very popular? Also, I'd argue that, particulary at the time, Wasabi was experiencing a popular boom with the boom in sushi that occured in the last 90s. TheHYPO (talk) 23:33, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Commercial[edit]

What was that commercial where people in a car were singing the song? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.253.64.213 (talk) 16:06, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mitsubishi cars. TheHYPO (talk) 20:29, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chickity China the Chinese Chicken Prank Call[edit]

The prank call is featured on Mancow's White Cotton Panties CD and caller sounds a lot like show producer "DJ Luv Cheez", so I believe it originated from his show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.216.113.216 (talk) 11:20, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sailor Moon in-joke[edit]

It seems to me the line that says Sailor Moon has "the boom anime babes that make me think the wrong thing" may be referring to the fact that in the original Sailor Moon series in Japan, two of the characters were lesbians, but that it was edited out in America to make them be cousins instead.

Release date[edit]

There is a discrepancy regarding the release date for the single. In the side-bar for the album "Stunt," the date is listed as 12 May 1998, but upon clicking the provided link, it's listed as 22 September 1998. CltNC830 (talk) 14:04, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
