Talk:The Cheat Is Not Dead

From Homestar Runner Wiki

I think the actual title for the song is The Cheat is Not Dead, not The Cheat is NOT DEAD. Is it okay that I moved this page?

Fine by me. I also would have accepted "The Cheat is not dead" Good prize! *Ding* - Drhaggis 12:13, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

How is this song ska? Can anyone explain that to me? -- DMurphy 23:32, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It's because of the instruments used. The organ at the beginning constitutes ska. It's the exact same as in real life, Goldfinger and Wylde Bunch are ska because they use ska instruments in their songs. It's also because of the beat to The Cheat is Not Dead. --Homsar999^{ß 22:22, 29 Apr 2005 (CDT)}

To be honest, the song kind of reminds me of "D'yer Mak'er." --Spanky The Dolphin 07:32, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Chech the receipts?

Are we completely sure it says "Check the receipts?" It kind of sounds like a combination of "Cheddar is is" and "Pegasus" to me. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 21:56, 5 November 2005 (UTC) I hear "Collect the receipts!"--Robert Benedicio 21:25, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

More of a Blues Bros. Reference?

In addition to the ending lick (which I recognized immediately), the repeating of the same phrase over and over is common in both ("The cheat is not dead" and whatever that phrase is during the church scene). Considering there's one reference already, I think it could be strengthened with the addition of this quip: "The way in which the choir repeats the same phrase bears resemblance to the church scene of The Blues Brothers."
