Talk:They Only Come Out at Night

"They only come out at night" is a long-used phrase in popular culture, and it is entirely doubtful that it is a reference to an obscure band's costumes. Removing the note. --Valentein 19:52, 17 November 2006 (CST)

"They Only Come Out At Night" is an album by Edgar Winters Group.. If it's a reference to anything I think that's the most likely, given the amount of musical-type pop culture references. PedroPickles 00:16, 21 November 2006 (CST)

The quote from Aliens goes: "It'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night. Mostly." While there's some similarity, I'm not sure if it's strong enough to call that a reference. --84-175 (talk) 08:14, 22 November 2006 (CST)
 * I agree. Widowmaker 01:13, 4 December 2006 (CST)


 * I disagree: The fact that your foe are "Otherworldy beings" makes this a more viable reference than obscure song lyrics, assuming the song lyrics are not about a world's downward spiral into Hell. --Carnival King 08:50, 23 December 2006 (CST)

"We Only Come Out At Night" is also a song by The Smashing Pumpkins from the Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness album. Lostage 14:50, 11 December 2006 (CST)

I'd say the Edgar Winters album is the most probable reference since it's a word for word match. =/ PedroPickles 16:07, 23 December 2006 (CST)

word for word
I have removed all references to songs unless they say "they only come out a night" word for word, and thus only two songs/albums fit that criteria.--TheDrifter 11:18, 31 December 2006 (CST)
 * The trivia really needs to be trimmed down. I'm not sure what to remove though. The Hobo 15:09, 26 July 2007 (CDT)
