The Justice League Episode was actually named "Wake The Dead". I would say that "the terror beyond" isn't the correct title... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.23.126.8 (talk • contribs)

I'm afraid you're mistaken. Checking the DVD of this series, it likewise calls this episode "The Terror Beyond." Another episode featuring Grundy in Season 3 is called "Wake the Dead". The reason "The Terror Beyond" is mentioned, and not "Wake the Dead" is because only "The Terror Beyond" has content related to the poem, which is the topic of this article. ~CS 03:27, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok, i'm sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.23.126.23 (talk • contribs)

Solomon Grundy (comics)

Editors should probably avoid too many references to the DC Comics character on this page. I have culled instances down to only two which have a direct relation to the topic of this article (the original poem). ~CS 20:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Someone needs to mention the reggae song "Solomon A Gunday" by Big Youth, and the dub version inspired by Solomon A Gunday called "Kingdom of DUB" by Lee "Scratch" Perry and the Upsetters. ne song is based upon the other, and both have lyrics inspired by the original nursery rhyme.

Shouldn't the reference to the Crash Test Dummies song be removed since it appears to be a reference to the comic book villain rather than the nursery rhyme?97.97.196.118 (talk) 19:45, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good point - I removed it.--SabreBD (talk) 19:46, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just re-added it then reverted when I read this. Since Solomon Grundry comes here directly (not the disamb) and the link at the bottom goes to the foodstuff, that is pretty confusing. Should the disamb get the redir? Kevin/Last1in (talk) 23:16, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After watching the reference get added and reverted about a dozen times in the last month, I think it might be a good idea to leave the ref but with clarification pointing the reader to the correct Mr. Grundy. Please comment here before reverting it. My logic is simple: Even though the reference is to another character with the same name, mention of it here makes sense in the same way that an article on US Olympic footballer Michael Fox might state that he is no relation to actor Michael J Fox, born the same year.
