Here is my article GA review:

Lead[edit]

Pretty standard lead. Covers the topic, but doesn't go into detail that I hope I will see later on in the article.
Only complaint is that at the end of the lead, it talks about the groups record deal and splitting up and getting back together, which is unnecessary in my opinion. Maybe try removing the section.

It seems this issue has been fixed.

Background[edit]

It goes into unnecessary detail at the beginning about how the band was formed, which is irrelevant in my opinion, as the background section should be about how the song came to be, how the writer(s) got the idea, etc.

It seems that this issue has been dialed back, but still gives some information on the band which is relevant if you are like me and have never heard of them before.

Recording and production[edit]

"...Which horrified Genaro." I don't know why you put this in here, whoever put this in here, but I removed it, because it is biased in my opinion.

Composition[edit]

I would consider switching this section and Recording and production, simply because this one would have came first and it would make it easier to follow.

It seems this issue has also been fixed

Music Video[edit]

Nice section. Pretty standard.

Commercial Performance and Reception[edit]

Again, pretty standard section. Nothing our-of-the-ordinary to point out.

Legacy[edit]

Rather impressive summary of the legacy of this song.

Closing Comments[edit]

It seems the problematic areas have been cleaned up, making it fall under the criteria.

Criteria[edit]

Since you fixed the problematic areas, I am passing this article. Congratulations!

I approach every article as though someone has no idea who the Dead Milkmen are, so I find it important to give the reader some background information about the band. I'll concede that perhaps the background section contained too much info, so I've dialed it back.

The rest of your points were taken care of, and I've adjusted some wording in the lead. Thanks. Saginaw-hitchhiker (talk) 15:10, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
