[edit] 2006

Since when is "Taking Care of Business" a more famous song than "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" ? Niall123

although Takin' Care of Business (awesome song) is more popular and famous than You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, You Ain't topped the chart's at #1 spot, while TCB never reached #1

Should there be a note about the movie High Fidelity: "We are no longer Sonic Death Monkey. We are on the verge of becoming Kathleen-Turner Overdrive, but just for tonight, we are Berry Jive and his Uptown Five"--Atticus2020 08:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

One mention in a minor movie? No, no, no,no no. DJ Clayworth (talk) 17:24, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

TCB has been more featured and commercially viable since its release, being featured in advertising campaigns and movies, it is still used in some Office Depot advertising spots. Bottom line, YASNY was a #1 hit, but TCB has proven to be more multi-faceted and long lasting. Hell, Elvis used the phrase as the logo for the necklaces his band and close friends wore for security reasons.

why is there a citation needed for them being on the Simpsons? It just seems like such a minor claim, why even bother? But now that you mention it, http://www.snpp.com/episodes/BABF09, viola, BTO. Jlee562 23:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lineups

Can we get a lineups table please? This seems to be another longrunning band with a lot of personnel changes... --kingboyk 22:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NOT The Guess Who

BTO did NOT start out as the Guess Who. Randy Bachman was part of the Guess Who, but he left over creative differences with the band's singer and other main songwriter, Burton Cummings. In fact, the Guess Who existed at the same time (although with many different lineups) as BTO.

That change was made three days ago by an anonymous contributor, and I guess nobody noticed it. FWIW, anyway. Bearcat 07:27, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

I removed the trivia section (they are discouraged), but just to add the the pronunciation thing is wrong. Here in Canada at least BACKman Turner Overdrive is right. DJ Clayworth (talk) 17:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

If someone wants to add the proper phonetics in place of my spelled attempt please feel free. DJ Clayworth (talk) 17:24, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
