Q, I could just enjoy the song, BUT- and this isn't meant to be sarcastic, so don't take it that way- why do origins threads exist if people don't wonder about the origins of songs? And once a suggestion that there might be something more to a song like this turns up, I'm curious enough to find out more.

Another thing. I'm starting to realise how really hard it must be to research something for years and years, yet it must be fun, too.
