Houdini (Eminem song)
... that Houdini makes use of abracadabra? Source: https://www.nme.com/news/music/steve-miller-reacts-to-eminem-interpolating-abracadabra-in-new-song-houdini-3761618- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Sebastian Zouberbuhler
- Comment: Possibly a bit early, but this would make a good April Fools' hook. Lk95 started this off and I just added a bunch to it, a reviewer can adjudicate on whether anyone else deserves credits.
Created by Lk95 (talk) and Launchballer (talk).
Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 233 past nominations.

Sampling/interpolating other people's tracks is a common practice, so I don't see anything unique/interesting about Eminem doing so here, especially when it isn't the first time he's done so in his career. Try coming up with something else. Page length and QPQ are all set, though. I also don't see any neutrality or copyright issues. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 23:06, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- That hook was intended as an April Fools' joke, I was trying to suggest that Harry Houdini makes use of abracadabra - hooks on that day have a little more license to violate WP:EGG. ALT1: ... that Eminem promoted "Houdini" with a video in which David Blaine ate a glass of wine?--Launchballer 08:50, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- It wasn't a funny joke, and while ALT1 is much more intriguing, that isn't supported by the given link. You'll just need to add a ref backing that up before we can move forward with this. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:12, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- I just watched the video, and what actually happened was a little less dramatic: ref #4, which is what I'm using, says "downing a glass of wine and eating the glass". I've amended the article to that effect.--Launchballer 12:24, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
That aligns quite well with the link used, so I'll now give my approval for ALT1. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 03:35, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
