Hmmmm bit of thread creep opportunity here!! Great stuff love it. I've no problem with research of any of these songs, but still stand by my former comment of "sing it at your peril". I think studying lyrics such as these is fascinating in terms of understanding our social history. It would be interesting to know what songs have been lost/discarded along the way, and what the words or sentiments might have said about humanity at that time. For instance (and at the risk of being totally provacative) I wonder if many songs referring to wogs/niggers (and any other ethnic/racial group) have sunk into obscurity through the last 50 years (and if so, is that sad?). If you think I'm just being PC - how about a survey. Are you white, male and middle class? Nothing like a good stir to start the weekend rolling. Ana
