Revision as of 06:51, 13 March 2024

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

Maybe it's about Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles"? 172.69.65.245 22:13, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
Note that I'm Gonna Be is actually about walking 1000 miles, not 500 miles. 172.70.39.41 08:36, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Right! "I-hai would walk five hundred miles, and I-hai would walk five hundred more..." Transgalactic (talk) 15:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

"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)

A supergroup cover of 99 Luftballons would probably be awesome. --The-Daleks (talk) 20:43, 12 March 2024 (UTC)


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)
Well if G and H are groups and GH, then G is a supergroup of H, isn't it? --Coconut Galaxy (talk) 13:39, 12 March 2024 (UTC)


throw in:

Five Finger Death Punch
Six Feet Under --Lupo (talk) 13:37, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
No one's mentioned Three Days Grace yet? 172.68.2.101 05:43, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

I remember a great film, The Magnificently Dirty Nineteen. 172.69.195.155

Don't forget the sequel The Fantastic Ocean's Taking of Pelham Slaughterhouse 143 Barmar (talk) 14:07, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
And the supercut "The Fast and the Furious 41" --Lupo (talk) 15:01, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

I like the alternate cut: 108 Dalmation Nation Army. 172.69.247.48

I'm going to hold out for The Blink and Ben Folds 2162. 162.158.159.189 22:11, 12 March 2024 (UTC)


I think that the description misses the connection to math:

  • Group is a mathematical concept (**set** of elements with some properties and operations)
  • Sub-group is a subset of a group that retains the properties; Super-group can be constructed similarrly;
