This is the thread for unusual details in wikipedia articles.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttons_(song)

Like "Don't Cha" and "Beep", the song has a strong sexual undertone; a lady teases her intended male subject to help her take her clothes off (hence the main chorus line "I'm telling you to loosen up my buttons"). However, she accuses him of being intimidated, leading her to believe he's "all talk and no show". She claims that she's "heard what he's sayin' what he was going to do to her, but she's seen nothing". There is a presence of sexual frustration because the male involved refuses to unbutton the female's clothes, despite his verbal teasing. She seems frustrated because she is aware she's attractive but for some reason her men have not wanted to undergo sexual intercourse with her. The sexual frustration is embodied from her male partners' inability to have sex with her, and most probably causes the female's ever so slightly weakened - yet still large - ego. However, where most listeners would assume that the protagonist has finally lost interest, the song ends with the impression that she's still teasing the man to unbutton her clothes.

The punk era (1977–1980) had provoked a backlash in Britain against the optimism and whimsy of the hippie era, of which Donovan was considered a prime example. The word "hippie" became pejorative, and Donovan's fortunes with the public and the media suffered.[citation needed] In this period he guest-starred on Stars on Ice, a half-hour variety show on ice produced by CTV in Toronto, Canada.

"Baby's on Fire" is 5 minutes 19 seconds long.[5] The song begins with a tense high-hat and bass line, along several different kinds of electronic sounds. Eno's vocals enter after this, being described as "nasal" and "slightly snotty".[6] Following this first section of lyrics there is a guitar solo by Paul Rudolph and Robert Fripp with shifting drum beats as backing; the soloing continues through with the return of Eno's vocals as the song ends.[6]

it's true, i guess

But it's an unusual level of detail...

Doughman mixes trace amounts of his own blood into the ink used in the disc printing process, pioneering the concept of the GrisD. Rumors persist that there was confusion over the term "serious chops" in his contract with Ol' Scratch, and after some antics over semantics, can now grow sideburns to equal any cartoon samurai at will. Doughman's documented penchant for sleeping in a topknot may be the source of such speak.

The rest of Doropie's design didn't have any other Dorothy nor Oz references nor model in particular. But the character designer gave high priority to the point that quite a few people noticed in her design. Which is, Doropie having no eyelashes. Drawing eyelashing is a one of a expression method of a female character. But the character designer tried to make it cute without symbolic parts, and she was created. Her witch costume with a magical broom was the oldest heroine's design used in arcade and home video games back then. During its release, there was a tendency, "NES is for boys", among game developers. So there were many objections to set the girl as the protagonist of the game. The rest of the game's staff told the character designer that most video games during its release had male characters as protagonists, because people didn't have an empathy with female protagonists as playable characters.[2]
