Title text

Isn't the sum in the title text wrong? It should be 99 Luftballoons (or the English cover 99 Red Balloons) + 101 Dalmatians + I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) = 700 balloons, dalmatians and miles (not 1,200).--141.101.69.103

"cover" implies that the combined song already exists and was performed by some other group. I would expect that this supergroup would have created the medley themselves, to fit their particular genre. Barmar (talk) 22:23, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

"101 Dalmations" isn't a well known song AFAIK. It was written as the title song of the Disney movie, but wasn't actually used. Wikipedia says it got released on other albums. Barmar (talk) 22:38, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Comic

I don't know all the bands, but it looks like they are: 21 Pilots, 5 Seconds of Summer, 4 Non Blondes, 2 Live Crew, 100 GEC, 3 Doors Down, 9 Inch Nails, 1 Republic, 1 Direction, 30 Seconds to Mars.

Missed Opportunity

I am surprised there were no references to orthosymplectic or superunitary groups.

That's what I originally thought the joke would be about. This is much more mundane. Barmar (talk) 22:34, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
