Paul the Octopus

As fascinating as Paul the Octopus is, why is he linked as an "See also"? Curiously, Wordreader (talk) 15:46, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

No reply to my query. No mention of Paul the Octopus in this article. No mention of Parry Gipp in the Paul the Octopus article.

However, Gripp has made several videos about octopi: Little Octopus Climbing Over Rock - Parry Gripp - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Lp5a-r3MJU and Paul The Octopus - song by Parry Gripp - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftUvfi1J0QI . Retaining the WP PTO article link would require that Gripp article at least mentions "Paul". But, it doesn't. Therefore, the non-applicable link removed. Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 03:56, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Charitable work?

It seems that Gripp creates videos for various animal shelters and to bring attention to causes and activities. If anybody knows of citations that show if these kinds of videos are contributions of his time and the extent of any possible charitable work, please add the info to the article. Nom! Nom! Nom! Nom! Nom! Nom! Nom!

Youtube examples include:

• Hamster Doing A Loop De Loop - NatGeo Kids! [NatGeo Kids Funniest Pet Contest where Gripp chose the winners, at least when the contest was run at this time, but I can't find a date for it - http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/explore/contests/funniest-pet-contest/] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpF-2AHdMXg

• Elephant Eating A Stick - Parry Gripp [references the Santa Barbara Zoo, as do other Gipp videos] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpdWCRkaF9M

It Rained Tacos in an Optimum commercial.

The Raining Tacos - Parry Gripp & BooneBum - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npjF032TDDQ video was featured in an TV advertisement for Optimum TV (now called Altice USA).

• Optimum “It’s Raining Tacos” - http://jsmmusic.com/optimum-its-raining-tacos/ [JSM Music; a video of the commercial is available to view.]

• It's Raining Tacos [scroll down ~half-way] - http://www.kellysutton.org/optimum [Kelly Sutton Organization; a video of the commercial is available to view.]

Does anyone have access to advertising trade publications for a discussion of this commercial and more information? Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 05:25, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

"Fake" or "False" Jingles

I don't feel that these phrases are accurate. The jingles on "For Those About to Shop" are real jingles, they are not "fake".

To be a real jingle simply means "2. a short slogan, verse, or tune designed to be easily remembered, especially as used in advertising." According to a google search on "define:jingle".

So, use in advertising is NOT a prerequisite for being a jingle. The jingles are real. Calling them "fake" or "false" is not accurate.

Hamsters

I want parry Grip to make an album with all his hamster songs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C40:5900:35B5:BD48:5102:B4BC:AFA4 (talk) 12:31, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

2017 award song title

There seems to be some conflict on whether the song is called "I'm Not Very Nice" or "She's Not Very Nice". Does it change between episodes? IMDB and some other sites list it as "She's", while the Independent article cited as well as the YouTube upload use "I'm". The song also uses "I'm", again unless the song changes between episodes. Is there a more first-party source? ~Bobogoobo (talk) 06:42, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
