| + | {{incomplete|Very early draft.}} | ||
| + | In reference to the recently released ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' movie, Randall has compiled an alphabetical list of Wikipedia article titles that follow the same syllable-stress pattern as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS-qFdw-v_o the theme song] of the {{w|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 TV series)|1987 cartoon series}}. That pattern appears to be long-short-long-short-long-short-long-short, known in poetry as {{w|trochaic tetrameter}}. Some of the items on this list (e.g. ''{{w|Ace Ventura: Pet Detective}}'') are drawn in the same style as the logo from that series. | ||
| − | + | Some of these phrases are not actually the titles of Wikipedia articles, but rather the full names given in articles' lede sentences. For instance, the article on Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie appears under the title "{{w|Woody Guthrie}}," as that is the name by which he is most commonly known, and thus is {{w|Wikipedia:Article_titles#Use_commonly_recognizable_names|preferred by Wikipedia policy}}. | |
| − | + | See also [[856: Trochee Fixation]], another comic dealing with a similar concept. | |
| − | + | The title text suggests an album of songs ("{{w|The Purple People Eater}}", the aforementioned ''Ninja Turtles'' theme, "{{w|Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini}}", and the ''{{W|Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers}}'' theme), the title or primary refrain of which are made up entirely of {{w|trochee|trochaic}} {{w|meter (poetry)|meter}}. The the refrains of the songs, respectively are: "One-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater"; "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"; "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" and "Go go Power Rangers". The tie to "trochees" seems to be limited to the repeated lines, as the surrounding lines aren't necessarily made up of trochees. Further, it seems to ignore any incidental words between the repeated lines. Randall suggests that the lyrics to these songs might be interchangable to the point that the lyrics of each would be sung to the melody of the song following it in the tracklist. Randall would title the album ''{{w|Linked List}}'' as each song would melodically reference the next song. | |
