103? I don't believe a song outside the top 100 is an official part of the chart. --Scaryice 04:47, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's part of the Billboard Bubbling Under Chart Underneath-it-All 07:52, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know about the bubbling under chart, but officially a song with a 103 rank has not charted.--Scaryice 11:13, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"To Me" or "Do Me"

It's not "do me fast in your car," it's "drive back ... to me fast in your car."

Chart Performance

The items I included in the section were not opinion...and the same train of thought(so to speak) has been used COUNTLESS number of times on other Wikipedia pages devoted to other singles (read Hollaback Girl, Cool, What You Waiting For?, Rich Girl as examples...you need to do more research if you think what I presented is "opinion" Vikramsidhu 03:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is.

Crash page consistency

The Crash disambiguation page currently lists three songs of this title, under Crash (song), Crash (The Primitives song), and Crash (Feeder single). I think these pages should be renamed to something consistent (song rather than single, probably), with Crash (song) being another disambiguation page. --Madbehemoth 17:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed this today. Why does this article have to be different than the rest. By the way, this single performed pretty badly in the US and UK, whereas another song, Crash (The Primitives song) reached the top ten in the UK - this song was less successful. Should this page be moved to Crash (Gwen Stefani song)? RaNdOm26 06:32, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, you're right. I've moved the page, and I'll start fixing the links to Crash (song) later today. ShadowHalo 14:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA lookover

Hi, just a few small things that might be worth addressing on the road to GA:

This song didn't chart well, but it might be nice to have a chart positions table anyway.
The debut on MuchMusic is not supported by a reference.
I don't think reference 9 supports the statement it's referencing. This entry says, ""Crash" had never been planned as a major single-release from Love. Angel. Music. Baby., but it was promoted after Stefani announced that she was pregnant and would be delaying her second solo album". But the reference supporting it says nothing about "Crash" itself - it merely states that "Luxurious" was to be the final single from LAMB. This reference only supports the first half of that sentence. There should be a citation for the statement that the sixth single was released due to her pregnancy and/or album delays.

Otherwise, this looks pretty good. Chubbles 23:46, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I originally removed the table since there are only six positions (and they're all included in the text), but if you think it's better with the table, then that's fine with me, so I've readded it. I checked MuchMusic's site, and it doesn't have "Crash" as ever having appeared, so I've removed that sentence. (I also check the TRL Archive, but it never debuted there either, probably since it's only a live video.) Since the video section is so short, I've also merged that with "Chart performance" for a section called "Release and chart performance". I added references for the information about releasing it as the sixth single, and I rephrased it so it now gives a brief narrative about how it was released rather than implying a causation.

Looks great! I am passing it per WP:WIAGA. Chubbles 02:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To charmed36

This song is only INFLUENCED by old school hip-hop, that does not make it hip-hop. Just like what you waiting for is influenced by New wave music, we dont call it a New wave song.

Jamalar 19:15 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamalar (talk • contribs) 19:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So it's disputed if this should be called a pop rap song and whether Category:Hip hop songs should be added. Entertainment Weekly calls Gwen "an old-school, gold-chained rapper", The Washington Post compares it to Push It, and NME calls it "cartoon rap". Spellcast (talk) 15:11, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lenny B Remix

Should there be a mention of the promo-only Lenny Bertoldo remix? I don't believe it was put on the maxi-single but I think there should be at least a blurb about it. 76.235.88.3 (talk) 22:35, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Influende by old-school Hip Hop

I read the source and it did not say that, so I think it needs removing, also about pop rap or just pop. I think on the whole it should just be left as Pop. There are more sources calling it 80s pop and "synthy" than cartoon rap. Unless we say pop rap and synthpop but I just think Pop is simpler.86.29.242.63 (talk) 18:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So..Im changing it to Pop, that "cartoon rap" quote is still in the article, the song being called 80s synthpop is still the article. Im also getting rid of "the song is influenced by oldschool hip hop" as the source does not say that and Im leaving in "inspired by 80s dance music" as an influence, Gwen Stefani always said the album was 80s dance inspired. POP rap/SynthPOP..on the whole and to make it easier, the genre section should just be Pop. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.29.242.63 (talk) 18:55, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
