I loved this song when it first came out, then the local radio stations ruined it for me by over playing it, but after watching these 3 cover videos I think I'm back to loving it again.
It's always fascinated me how plants & animals naturally evolved needle-sharp bits (rose thorns, porcupine quills, snake fangs (retractable, no less!)), yet humans took a whole long time to chip rocks into something approaching lethal sharpness.
My son (7 at the time) did this at The Lion King in Orlando, though there was no high-sticking involved, just a lot of hakuna matata. In true, magical, Disney spirit, with bloody napkins snatched from tourists in hand, we enjoyed a strolling balladeer who made up a song that promises a Cadillac for each tooth lost in the Magic Kingdom. This is why WDW is off limits now until my son is 20.
I never used to feel this way, but we have reached the point in America that almost EVERY police action for "public safety" is more dangerous than the actions it's intended to deter. 9/11 terrorized us into paranoid stupidity, and the Terrorists won, big time.
The dog-and-pony show is great. But I can't see how it should have cost her $645 in fees, when it was their error to begin with. Oh wait . . . DMV. Sorry.
Sad story is sad.
