Can't remember the name of the person who wrote that they were offended by the song, all I can say is that I'm sorry for you that you feel that way, that you have never come to terms with your unique way to speak.

I think the song is very sweet and I sing it almost everyday to my Irish Wolfhound, Kadee... she loves the song and I can just see the pure delight in her face and eyes the minute I start singing it.

Also a comment on the gentleman who said he'd love to hear his mothers voice again.. I remember my grandmother singing "Go West Young Man" and she'd play that picture record on that old phonograph.. when I was a little girl I used to think she was just silly, but since she's been gone from my life for 6 years now, I would just melt to hear here singing that song and dancing around with me again!

I may not be as old as some that have commented on here, but I do get it, that life is just way too short and sweet to let silly songs upset me.
