Meat City edit

  • ... that the single release of John Lennon's "Meat City" has a backwards message to "check the album," on which the song has a backwards message to have intercourse with a pig?

  • Possible alternative: ALT1... that the single release of John Lennon's "Meat City" has a backwards message to "check the album," on which the song has a vulgar backwards message instead? Rlendog (talk) 19:59, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
  • No problems with the article; AGF for most of the sources, although I note that one of the online sources could have been used to source both hooks as well. Date is just barely good, length is 2832 characters. Just one thing — you'd do well to delink "intercourse" from the main hook. If you leave it in there, more people will probably click on it than will click on the article itself. Nothing in the rules prohibits it, and a relevant link in the hook is definitely not a reason to reject this nomination. It's simply that Meat City will get fewer hits if you don't delink it.
