"OK, I can suffer through Neil Diamond complaining that his chair won't talk to him in I AM..I Said. But when he rhymes "brang" with "sang" in Play Me:

"....songs she sang to me
songs she brang to me"

Say, dw, are you channelling Martin Pearson? He puts something almost exactly like this into one of his routines - I think it's the one where he parodies The Gambler.

Anyway, I'm offended by Lord of the Dance, specifically by the verse,

"I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame,
The holy people said it was a shame,
They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high,
And they left me there on a cross to die."

which perpetrates the antisemitic lie that the Jews crucified Jesus.
