This is a funny song that was created by User:Bucketsofg and rerecorded by User:M1ss1ontomars2k4 to include the chorus parts. It might be self-referencing, but it's a very enjoyable piece.

  • Support Appropriate, and would make more Wikipedians aware of Featured Sounds. Zidel333 08:04, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd assume this is a joke, but some of the statements make me wonder. Surely you folks realize this is against virtually the whole of Wikipedia:Featured sound criteria, as well as throwing the whole "encyclopedia" thing out with the bathwater.--Pharos 08:22, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, sorry, not encyclopedic, not used in any encyclopedia articles. I could go into more detail if desired, but I think that's enough. Mak (talk) 17:18, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, strongly. A recording of the actual Major-General's Song, though, would be great – do we have one? If not, would the users who created this like to create one? – Qxz 19:15, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yay! Brilliant :D --KFP (talk | contribs) 19:16, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - I do like it, but I'm afraid this is an encyclopedia, not a comedy website, and the song meets none of the criteria apart from the licensing one. It is, however, suitable for putting on your user/talk page, if you want to. Mrug2 20:35, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Per above. --Tewy 20:58, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The sound quality isn't great and it is a self-reference. Good effort in its creation though! Witty lama 01:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
