This song is a Supertramp Cover

I really think that it a necessity to mention that this song's chorus is a cover of Suptertramp's "Breakfast in America".

Single Photo

I just noticed that the single cover art has a Parental Advisory label on it. The song has NO language in it whatsoever. What gives? Liscobeck 02:00, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If a single is included on an album with a PA sticker on the cover, then all songs are labeled EXPLICIT (clean or truly explicit) on iTunes. Get it now? It's the same concept. JustN5:12 18:14, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Genre

this song should be classified as alternative hip hop. PrincessOfHearts 19:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Someone classified it as 'emo hip-hop', and I removed it. It is an example of alternative hip hop, and I think the only reason someone added 'emo' was because Patrick Stump features, and some might consider Fall Out Boy 'emo' (Although, I certainly don't...). Anyway, I changed it.--Gen. Quon (talk) 02:15, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clean-up

I'm recommending that the article's introduction be re-written, because it contains some trivial information, and has some very misplaced bullet points there. Elenseel 06:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

music video

By wiki rules, I'm curious if the community interested in publish link to GCH music video:

Gym Class Heroes - Cupid's Chokehold Music video

I'd be curious if a the Krush Kill Destroy reference (the killer robot in the TV show Lost in Space) is worthy of mention, or if it's now reached the level of meme in pop culture. I thought it was a funny ref.

Needs a rewrite badly

The section on the most commonly shown music video (the second music video) sounds like it was written by a highschooler. It needs a more professional tone to meet quality standards. First off, phrases like "ghetto batman suit" and "making out extensively"...or, at least link to their relevant articles. --69.92.19.76 05:18, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware of how to edit; I just don't want to sift through the proverbial graveyard of the English language to form it into something that looks better.

Additional Title

I've noticed that alot of stores Amazon and iTunes have listed this as "Cupid's Chokehold/Breakfast In America" instead of just "Cupid's Chokehold". I don't understand this, as "Cupid's Chokehold" only samples certain key parts of "Breakfast In America". Sarujo (talk) 18:34, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed that, too. My assumption is that it was a demand by Supertramp's record label to add it in. But, I guess, it's possible that a lot of people wanted to know what the song was because people knew they've heard it but couldn't place it. --Wolfer68 (talk) 00:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find a source to explain it. Would love to know why it happened, maybe they used the chorus without permission. --Dignitee (talk) 11:44, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
