Subject: RE: Sexist lyric? Change it or ....?
I still maintain--politely and respectfully, of course-- that replacing 'man' with 'human' or 'person' nearly always weakens a song, or, worse, makes it a parody of itself.

I think, if something is *that* offensive to you, it's time to pick a new song to sing...

Unless, of course, your goal *is* to be amusing!
