This section reads more like a school report than an encyclopedia entry; is lengthy parsing of lyrics really necessary? Could be more succinct.--Adoorajar 07:32, 25 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

Agree with above comment. Edited the discussion of lyrics. Removed the discussion of Christianity and "naturalistic" philosophy. Poi Dog Pondering is not a religion and Frank Orall is not a philosopher. [[User:Yumagah|Yumagah] 24 January 2010

Lyric content

edit

The lyrics in the article come mainly from earlier songs. Discussion of death continues in future songs. In "God's Gollipoli", Frank sings about a person on their death bed "sorting through a wreckage of regrets" and hopes that God will "take me in one swoop, don't let me dwindle". I am less familiar with the earlier songs related to death but wonder if comparing the earlier lyrics with later lyrics show growth or a theme of greater interest. If I only had the time...

I am removing the notability template. Here are plenty of mentions of this group in the press: http://www.chicagotribune.com/search_results/?q=Poi+Dog+Pondering Hoverfish Talk 11:08, 27 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Discography

Why isn't 1991's "Jackass Ginger" album listed?

To add to article

Basic information to add to this article (in order to help make it more properly encyclopedic): the origin of this band's name. How could someone have written an article about this band and failed to include an explanation of this, something that anyone visiting this article would expect to find here? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 23:51, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
