- ALT1: ... that the My Chemical Romance song "Mama" was written on a bet that Ray Toro could not write a polka in the band's style? Source: https://www.altpress.com/my-chemical-romance-the-black-parade-facts-trivia/ -- "The crew made bets that Ray Toro couldn’t possibly write a polka in their own style, a challenge which the mastermind obviously passed."
- ALT2: ... that the demo for the My Chemical Romance song "Mama" was recorded inside a haunted mansion? Source: 'Not the Life It Seems: The True Lives of My Chemical Romance.' -- Page 154, "You can almost see the ghosts flying around the room when we recorded those songs. Especially that "Mama" song. When we played that at Paramour..." + https://www.altpress.com/the-black-parade-curse-my-chemical-romance/ -- "The Black Parade was partially written and recorded in a notoriously haunted mansion called the Paramour"

- Not a review, but I have struck ALT0 as it fails WP:DYKINT (it's dependent on knowing who both Liza Minnelli and My Chemical Romance are), ALT1 would be better if it ended at 'bet' (and replaced 'on' with 'for'), and ALT3 is adorable.--Launchballer 19:00, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Article new enough (July 16), long enough (7200 B), well-sourced. Subject passes WP:NSONG. ALT1 and ALT3 verified in sources, assuming good faith on the print source for ALT2. Approving all hooks. I agree with Launchballer, ALT3 is a 10/10 hook; should definitely go with that one. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 16:34, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
