Doesn't it go "hey hey hey goodbye" instead of "hey hey goodbye" as well? [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.5|141.101.99.5]] 18:28, 11 March 2015 (UTC) Yeah, I Think I'm Signing Right

Randall actually explains at the top: "I can't believe I forgot Hey Jude. I don't get do-overs, but I couldn't resist making a fixed version." Mark Hurd (talk) 16:29, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

The "make it better" portion of the URL of the revised comic is probably a reference to additional lyrics from Hey Jude. In light of the fact that that particular joke wouldn't have been available unless he had omitted it from the initial one, it's possible he 'forgot' Hey Jude on purpose.

Doesn't Katamari Damacy have nine "na"s, not ten? This is the number I can hear in the song on youtube, and the number in his earlier comic Accident. Am I missing something? --152.78.168.175 13:22, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Nope. It has 9. "Hey, Jude" wasn't the only thing he missed. 108.162.217.41 04:14, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Actually it depends. In some arrangements there's a leading "Na" at a lower pitch before going into the main sequence, providing the tenth. 108.162.216.13 20:01, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Doesn't Batman have 16 na's? I'm pretty sure Im right about that ~JFreund

Usually, yeah. But if you replace "nana nana nana nana nana nana nana nana" with just "na na na na na na na na" then you get what is seen here. 108.162.217.41 04:14, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

This is described here as a "flowchart", but I suspect Randall was going for a finite state machine. --Dfeuer (talk) 08:04, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
