[edit] Coach Z is Billie Jean?
- Email the movies — Strong Bad sings that "Coach Z is not that cool" to Billie Jean's (a 1982 song by Michael Jackson) tune.
I listened to the intro several times and I can't hear any relationship between the intro and that song. Also, it's not mentioned that the email's page. Any music experts want to weight in? — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 21:12, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
- It WAS on the Popular Music References, but now it links to this article. Hold on, let me check the revisions and I'll get right back to you. --Homsar Jean 23:03, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- Here, enjoy: a link to a revision, click me. --Homsar Jean 23:07, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- It was actually added here. — Defender1031*Talk 23:10, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oh well, you get my point here. But it still made it until this page's creation, didn't it? I believe the contents should be the same unless more should be added... --Homsar Jean 23:12, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- The criterion for whether a fact should be on a page is its validity, not its history. — Defender1031*Talk 23:21, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- There was a brief discussion for the fact when the toon came out can be found at Talk:the movies#Coach Z is not my lover. And Defender, the fact was actually originally added in this revision but then removed about a year later. To reply to Elcool's original query, it's not in the song's intro, it's at about 1m27s here that I hear the similarity, but that's just me. -- Tom 23:57, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- It sounds similar, certainly. Not sure there's enough of a sample for a ref or not. — Defender1031*Talk 00:01, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
- "This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions." Anyways I found another video. I listened once again, but the only thing I found is a vague similarity in the rhythm, and the "<name> is not" structure. The "here comes an email" part doesn't even hint to the "She's just a girl" line from the song. I think we need an opinion from someone with a more musical background. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 06:11, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
