Fisheye, fish eye

The title of the song is "Fish Eye Lens" (open), but the proper term is "fisheye lens" (closed). At first I thought it would be better to spell references to the actual lens open like the title, but when I put the link in to fisheye lens, it became apparent that it would probably be better just to spell it correctly in our articles and fun facts. — It's dot com 19:22, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

I ___ a fisheye lens

I ___ a fisheye lens / And make a rap video with a couple of friends

I originally transcribed it "I want a fisheye lens". An anonny just changed it to "bought". I can kind of hear it, but not really. Or maybe I can hear "brought" (with an "r"). Also, I'm not convinced it's "And" to start the second line. What say you? — It's dot com 01:23, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

I hear it as "bought". I also hear the "And" in there, too. --phlip ^T_C 03:00, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

I definitely think "bought" is correct, but I don't think "And" is there. I think the line may be "A-make a rap video with a couple of friends", possibly as in "To make a rap video". Homestar-Winner (talk)

I considered "A-make a rap video" when I transcribed it, but it just seemed like a stretch. "To make a rap video" makes the most sense, but I think it's definitely not "to". — It's dot com 00:34, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Definitely sounds like "BROUGHT a fish-eye lens TO make a rap video..." to me. - Steven

What's a Dixieland?

Maybe it's somethign that's more commonplace in America but I've got no clue what that is? Can someone add it to the explanations? Guybrush20X6 18:12, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Dixieland is a colloquial used to describe the american south, particularly before the Civil War. MechaKingBubsGonzola 3:33, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

• It's also a style of jazz music, sometimes referred to as Traditional or "Trad" Jazz.— Bassbone (^{TALK CONT}) 20:29, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Videro

As noted in the inside references, Coach Z pronounces "video" as "videro" at least once. I definitely hear it in the second chorus. Probably the first chorus too. Try as I might, I do not hear it in the third chorus. The question is, assuming we can come to a consensus on when he says it, does it need to be noted in the transcript as well (and if so, what's the best format for that)? — It's dot com 04:29, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

I first noticed it when I watched the YouTube video with my headphones in the first verse, and I clearly hear it in all three (from Coach Z, not Strong Bad, of course.) I'm kinda-sorta certain that the third verse is videos/videros for whatever reason, which I notice is in the subtitles (don't ask me, I didn't do it), but the "R" I'm confident on. --Jay (Talk) 05:53, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Hmm, I can kind of hear "videos" on the third one, too. — It's dot com 16:17, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Dixieland Costumes

I think it's time we added the Dixieland costumes from the end of the video to a costumes page. I'd do it myself but i'm not sure which exact page to added it to, how to input pictures and whether or not we also include some rap song images/costumes. --Happypasta 01:17, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

You're looking for the pages listed on Other Costumes. For the images, take a screenshot of the toon and load it into your favorite image editor. Use the other images on the costumes pages as a guideline for how to crop the images. Save your images as PNG files. Use Special:Upload to upload them to the wiki. — It's dot com 02:36, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Done and Done! Thanks For your help! --Happypasta 16:23, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
