This song and "Chef Aid"
editShould there be a mention of this song? It was covered (how notably, I'm not sure, but the album seemed to be rather popular here, especially amongst teenagers) by Eric Cartman / Trey Parker on the "Chef Aid" album. I don't know if it qualifies as a "real" cover, but shouldn't it be mentioned here, at least in passing? 180.189.138.224 (talk) 10:50, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- Not just the album - it was also a central part of gag in season 2 episode 2 Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut. Once started, Cartman can't stop until he finishes. [1]. Most other notable songs have a list of covers, some really obscure. Titaniumlegs (talk) 10:20, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

In Popular Culture
editShould there be a mention of use in the Freaks and Geeks pilot? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.94.47.16 (talk) 22:02, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Content
editThe word "bombastic" in describing the second half of the song is a bit odd, and perhaps even prejudicial. The second half of six minute song is only three minutes, hardly long-winded or overbearing. Another use for bombastic is pretentious or pompous; both words are subjective and hardly neutral. Really, we are not discussing In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida here, and I think the contributor borrowed the word bombastic from allmusic. I recommend that text be re-worded.

- I don't disagree about re-wording the text for neutrality, but I don't think "bombastic" has quite the same negative connotations as "pretentious" or "pompous". (Although, come to think of it, there's nothing wrong with calling Styx "pompous". They absolutely were, they knew it, they made the most of it, and people liked 'em that way!)

Reference to Ezekiel
editIs there a more reliable source for the claim that the song references Ezekiel 1? The source cited appears to be just some blokes blog.--81.153.39.115 (talk) 23:38, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- Good point. The connection seems tenuous, and I have removed it from the article. Ibadibam (talk) 04:42, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
It seems less tenuous to link the song to the story of the Marie Celeste Stub Mandrel (talk) 18:56, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
