| | *What are you thinking? Have you heard Barracuda? This is a wrong call, and I think the Barracuda reference should be in. Nobody who has heard Barracuda would think that Strong Bad was imitating Bonanza. I fail to see any other song that it could be! P.S. It is much more apparent that Strong Bad's rhythm guitar is from Barracuda than it is that the tiny strings are from Creeping Death. So if we can't have Barracuda maybe we should delete Creeping Death as well? | | *What are you thinking? Have you heard Barracuda?

| - | ===That's got to be "Barracuda" by Heart (DECLINED)===
| + | |
| - | Strong Bad's rhythm guitar music is clearly inspired by the intro to "Barracuda" by Heart.
| + | |
| - | *[[User:Homestar_Coder]] has vowed in [[Talk:guitar]] to delete any mention of "Barracuda" from fun facts on the basis that "there are many possible songs that the 'rhythm guitar' could reference."
| + | |
| - | *The only other song I saw in the history was Bonanza, which for so very many reasons is obviously false and ''should'' be kept out.
| + | |
| - | *What do you think? I only ask that you listen to "Barracuda" and the email before deciding this one.
| + | |
| - | **In the future, I would appreciate if you would refrain from claiming I "vowed" to do anything. I merely deleted the fact, explained my reason, and requested you put it in STUFF if you don't agree. <small><tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|<span style="color:#8B0000;">Aurora the Homestar Coder</span>]]</tt></small> 06:10, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

| + | |
| - | *'''Accept!''' Have you ever heard the song? It is so Barracuda! It's even the same number of beats, the only difference is the basic rhythm guitar music in the email is a slightly different tone then the opening refrain of Barracuda. [[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 14:56, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

| - | **No it isn't, count them... guitar has 5 low ones then it rises, Barracuda has 7 low ones then it rises... All the same I think it's close enough, so '''Revise''' (get rid of the word "clearly"), but get your facts straight first. {{User:phlip/sig}} 15:16, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | ***Well,I think it's close enough. Yeah, '''revise''' I guess, change 'clearly inspired by' to 'remniscient of',and you're set. [[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 17:44, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | ****Yes, I've heard Barracuda. Over and over and over and over and over again since 1977. That's why I voted against this. It's not the same rhythm (see above) and SB doesn't sing it the same way. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:59, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | *It sounds slightly like Barracuda..but I would have to say '''revise''' as well to something equivalent to philip's suggestion. I do think it is some sort of reference too, as isn't the "meedly meedly" part a reference to a real song too? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 21:04, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | *'''Decline''' All the proposed rewrites may as well have "may be" or "could be" latched onto them. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
| + | |
| - | *'''DECLINE''' It sounds absolutely NOTHING like the song or at least very little. The only reason they're similiar is becasue they're both rhythm guitar. Case closed.
| + | |
| - | *'''Decline''' There are a lot of songs it could be referencing. Unless the line or section of the toon in question is very obviously referring to something, it seems too conjectural to claim it as a reference.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 22:56, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

| - | ====Revisit?====
| + | |
| - | For what it's worth, when I heard [http://www.zshare.net/audio/barracuda-fergie-mp3.html the song] in ''Shrek the Third'' tonight, I immediately thought of this email. I stayed through the credits to find out the name. I was both pleased and disappointed to already find it discussed here. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | :Since there's no replies to this, I'm assuming it's still up for grabs, and I think that Barracuda is extremely similar. '''Accept'''. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 06:32, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | ::Concur with the above users that this one could be revisited. The rhythm and the pitch contour are both remarkably similar. I'd only be convinced against the reference if I could hear another song that's equally likely. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | :::Sure, we could revisit. I'm ready with my vote: '''decline'''. =] {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 07:04, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | :::(And just for fun, sing "jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga JAH JAH" to the tune of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjdRgBAY278 Bonanza's theme]!) {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 07:17, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | ::::This fact was recently added and removed again, and since there was talk of "revisiting" it relatively recently, I think it's not inappropriate to bring back up. On my part, I'm somewhat on the fence about it. I'd never connected Barracuda and this email in my head before, but when it's specifically pointed out, the similarity is kind of undeniable. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 02:34, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | :::::I agree that the similarity between SB's tune and "Barracuda" is quite close. Unless someone else can provide another riff that sounds as similar, we need to consider that "Barracuda" was the inspiration for it.

| - | :'''Accept.''' Immediately when I saw the e-mail, I was reminded of Barracuda. [[User:Jedibob5|Jedibob5]] 03:21, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | ::It's definitely Barracuda. barracuda has more notes before the "JAH JAH" as it were, but the tune is too close. I just saw it reverted (wrongly imo). i was about to correct the formatting of the fact, and remark on my surprise that it wasn't already on the page. I'm more familiar with the song than i am with this email, and when i saw the email for the first few times until i was used to it, i was surprised at how accurately he followed barracuda. now i still think about the song every time. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 00:34, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

| + | |
| - | D'ya think the jugga jigga wuggas in death metal are a reference to this toon?
| + | |
| - | :We had a [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/death metal#A Brief History of Jigga Juggas|vote]] on it, and it was decided that they weren't a reference. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

| - | == Abductors (?) ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I'd like to suggest as an additional reference the Judas Priest song 'Abductors', from their 1997 album Jugulator. In the song Tim Owens screams out "and they come in the niiiiiiiiight", essentially the way SB does. Maybe someone else is familiar with this song and would care to comment?

| - | I think it's safe to say that the ambiguous "guitar noises" are not references to any specific song.--[[User:68.60.19.184|68.60.19.184]] 04:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

| - | == How Does Strong Bad Play Hot Lixx With Boxing Gloves? ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I just wanted to point this out, and perhaps it should be mentioned in the main Guitar article-- it seems it could be a reference to the "How do you type with boxing gloves?" joke.
| + | |
| - | :Probably not a deliberate reference, but it might make a good email for Strong Bad not to answer. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | True, but Strong Bad hasn't not answered an email for a long time (since the days of... uh, the sbemail we're discussing, except for a few here and there). I doubt they're going to do another one for a while (until they can't find a good email, at least). Eh well. xP
