Section

If someone can provide a better-written explanation for the following section, which I deleted, it should be restored:

Dali's Car also hints at Bela Lugosi's cameo appearance in Thomas Pynchon's Against the Day.

As written, this makes no sense: Pynchon's novel appeared in 2006, so an eighties band could not "hint at" anything in that novel. Some detail would be useful (what, exactly, "hints at" Lugosi's cameo?). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2fs (talk • contribs) 13:45, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dali's Car

Most sources use an apostrophe in the band's name. Compare number of results from this with this. --JD554 (talk) 08:04, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is because grammatically "Dali's Car" is correct. However... the band and the song were titled Dalis Car. Since this is about a band and not a car, you should not have changed the title Mezigue (talk) 15:30, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Allmusic [1], The Official Charts Company [2] and Yahoo! Music [3] use an apostrophe and NME can't seem to make their mind up[4]. We should use what reliable sources use. --JD554 (talk) 16:54, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

These are not reliable sources and they are wrong on this (though AllMusic uses both spellings). Look, it says Dalis Car on the actual records they made, I would have thought that would be the most definitive source for the name of a recording artist! [5] [6] See also their record company's page: [7]. Mezigue (talk) 18:12, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All four of the sources I've provided above definitely are reliable sources, whereas, apart from Beggar's Banquet, blogs are not. --JD554 (talk) 19:20, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blogs? What on earth are you saying? That these might be fake sleeves? Are you serious? Mezigue (talk) 19:49, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
