Thread Name: Sexist lyric? Change it or ....?
Subject: RE: Sexist lyric? Change it or ....?
I find the song overly wrought, pedantic, and crude. Leaning twoards neanderthal folk, which a lot of Britfolk seem to love. Oh you can't scare them, they're stickin' to the empire, till the day they die..." (with a nod and a wink to Dave Lippman).

To find out that it *isn't* traditional is the most disturbing part of it to me.

Anyone have the lyrics to the parody "When Some Men Sing" referred to in the other thread? It would be nice to have a comic anecdote to such drivel.

IMHO, of course.
