Cool. No, I was saying that I love many kinds of songs, and from my old (and now replaced with Christian viewpoint) agnostic viewpoint, cold iron is ironic, I do not find it funny. Yes critique the songs not the critic. If someone does not 'get' the song, what can one do to reach that person? Or can you ignore that part of the audience that feels similar? Maybe not every song needs to be great? But then what is a critique list for?

Cold Iron as funny? Boggle. I'm not quite sure what you mean by saying it's ironic. It has a wonderful Christian subtext, which I'm sure you noticed, but a subtext doesn't equate with irony. I should probably credit you here with suggesting the idea of "Hamlet by Disney" and coming up with most of the ideas I used in the verses, and that's a really funny song. But I think we should keep this mailing list for critiquing songs rather than for critiquing one another. We're all different and will undoubtedly each be clueless about something that's obvious to some of the other people. --Lee Gold
