Star Wars???
Hi there. I changed the sentences a bit, because it took me a few minutes to figure out what the previous author was trying to say.
Anyway: I'd like to dispute a point: Article (now) says:
- A parody cover version by the name of Star Wars Cantina was performed by Mark Jonathan Davis
Well I don't know Mark Davis, but if it's titled Star Wars Cantina, are you sure it's not a cover version of the famous Star Wars Cantina by John Williams? -- BjKa 21:34, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- I've heard the song. The article is correct. Philip Reuben 23:53, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- The article now says that "Star Wars Cantina" is by Richard Cheese, not Mark Davis. Which one is it? Stonemason89 (talk) 02:44, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oops, just looked up the song and it looks like Mark Davis is Richard Cheese. Silly me... Stonemason89 (talk) 02:44, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

the famous parody was by al yankovic, not richard cheese/mark davis -- whoever that is! (some kid doing a similar parody in his basement?) 66.105.218.9 (talk) 07:20, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Really in Havana?
The article says this song refers to the nightclub in Havana. Is there really such a club? I assumed it referenced the club in NYC, especially given the lyrics "hottest spot north of Havana", implying the club wasn't in Havana at all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kelly.terry.jones (talk • contribs) 23:09:35, August 19, 2007 (UTC).
- I dont know, they have hispanic names.. :D\=< (talk) 03:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- Just because they have Hispanic names doesn't mean they live in Cuba. NYC has a large Hispanic population too, you know. Stonemason89 (talk) 02:42, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
- has nothing to do w "hispanic population", cuba was in vogue back then and many swanky clubs in NYC had cuban themes/entertainers, same as the many swanky clubs in cuba proper. think ricky ricardo.
- song is definity set in NYC. or possibly miami. certainly not havana. or even "habana", as the article says! 66.105.218.9 (talk) 07:14, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Absurdist
Is it just me or is this one of the finest examples of popular absurdist music? A guy dies, a girl loses her mind, and the upbeat latino music just keeps playing.. barry keeps smiling and dancing, the bongos keep popping.. the gentle indifference of the world :D\=< (talk) 03:14, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
