That song of alan's, reminds me of Jake Thackray - and that is high praise. I mean the words do, because I haven't heard it yet.

As for serious points - I'm afraid it does imply one, I think. This being that, while we may pride ourselves on being all liberal and tolerant, we fool ourselves if we don't recognise that we too have got the potential to flip if the right/wrong buttons are pushed.

And that recognition that it is telling a truth about ourselves would make it all the funnier.
