Sheesh, if the above is the case, you guys are too weak or jaded to be useful for much of anything. The song is a reasonable example of a genre of ephemeral pop songs that have come and gone incessantly over the years, and what's more, rather than being about streaking across a football field or a suburban woman's "telephone man", this one actually espouses a fairly agreeable political line. Just imagine if it became a hit? Highly unlikely, of course. Odds are it'll never reach the heights of the aforementioned gems, but any squeamishness regarding the simple act of listening is worrying. (If that's so hard, how would you ever summon the will to snip somebody's brake line or boobytrap a yacht? Let alone read most right- and a fair helping of left-wing commentary...)
