Vandalims[edit]

It seems to me that the edit on 2 August 2006 by 74.131.135.221 was pure vandalism; rather than re-format it and try to figure out if any bits are valid, I've reverted the whole edit. Tlesher 17:30, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Official Page[edit]

Any proper reason why Google.com is given as the official page of Lou Bega? f(O_o) It's not even a redirection from a non-existing page, it's just the link given. Vandalism? - My.life.is.muzik... 08:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Deaths[edit]

Regarding the recent edits by 76.108.90.193, just a general message saying not to add a Recent Deaths box unless proof of death can be cited from a reliable source. Vvidetta (talk) 19:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But I swear, Lou Bega REALLY did die of AIDS! 97.97.174.186 (talk) 01:39, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Monday Night RAW[edit]

98.21.220.134 (talk) 23:11, 1 August 2010 (UTC) I removed the addendum that stated Lou Bega hosted the July 5, 2010 edition of WWE Monday Night RAW as that never happened.[reply]

Fanboy at work?[edit]

Parts of the article sound like written by a fan or Mr.Bega himself. "hugely successful", "popular guest", "appearing on stage for Royals as well as international corporations" and so forth. The fact is, Mr.Bega hasn't had a major hit since more than a decade. He's a one hit wonder with an admittedly good management. 87.78.98.243 (talk) 04:05, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Article needs some pruning and/or editing. -- Dan Griscom (talk) 19:43, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Super Happy Fun Club[edit]

This bit under "Personal Life" that talks about his nephew playing in what I assume is some obscure pop punk band, an opening act for Yellowcard? I have a feeling that some friend or associate of the band is behind this unnecessary addition and blight upon the page of no less an artist than Lou Bega! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.75.105.143 (talk) 09:07, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

==Stub class== Not sufficient information to quite be considered "Start," but it is close. Could use some organization too. -- Ci e lomobile ^minor7♭5 04:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lou Bega on WB Snow Jam?[edit]

I couldn't help but remember a "little bit of Pikachu". This isn't mentioned at all. I don't know the timeframe but YouTube proves it existed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB_hAAZ60EM

Hopefully someone who knows more can add at least a couple of sentences.
