Subject: RE: Good Songs You're Sick Of
Around here, everyone's been singing "Seven Spanish Angels" lately. It's a very nice melody, but after a certain number of repetitions you figure out the story in the lyrics, and then it becomes unbearable.

The same thing happened with Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" a few years back. But in that case people came up with lots of alternative lyrics and transformed it into a humorous song. Maybe that's what we need for the Spanish Angels.
