Talk:Mad (song)

An anonymous user keeps adding this questionable passage: "This song was also found on the "Mad/Sad" 45.On this one,Mad was the A-side of the single while "Sad" was the B-side of the single.It seems that "Mad" was a number 1 hit on this 45."
Is there any source for the existence of a Mad/Sad single (it's not listed on Sesame Street Singles? The question of whether it was a "number 1 hit" is even more questionable, but if the record is non-existant, then that answers the other issue. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 19:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- User:Muppet and then a different anonymous (presumably all the same user?) kept adding the Mad/Sad single thing to the Jerry and the Monotones page yesterday except with some additions about nose sizes that made no sense.
- I don't know if it's a real single, although a reasonably thorough online search didn't find anything. However, I took the "number 1 hit" thing to be a joke, referring to the fact that singles usually have a "hit" on side A, and something obscure on side B. -- Wendy (talk) 01:10, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- This should clear up the first issue. Yes, the B-side does exist in complete form, but I've just attached a sample). --MuppetVJ 03:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know if it does, actually. Did you get the song directly from the record? If not, it merely proves that the song existed. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 03:08, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- The Sesame Street Singles page is incomplete. There was a series called "Parade of Top 40 Hit Songs" released in 1976 -- 20 singles, with two songs apiece. Right now on that page, we have 13 of them, so there's 7 more still to be found. Some of those singles focus on a particular performer -- one of them has two Little Chrissy songs -- so there could easily be a Little Jerry single with Mad and Sad.
- While I don't have the album, I do remember seeing it a few times on eBay. It had both Mad and Sad, and the picture usde on the front was Little Jerry from the 1974 calendar. -- MuppetDude 17:45, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- Found the single; picture over on Sesame Street Singles. -- Wendy (talk) 06:13, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
