Subject: RE: Absurdities in songs - any examples?
About 1974 there was a dismal song about a girl and her horse, named Wildfire. It had the lines
Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down its stall
Let's get this straight. She was a healthy young woman capable of galloping across the plains, and she died from a FROST?
Sounds more like a tomato plant than a person.
