Oh, and speaking of songs that drive me crazy...
The guy who wrote Lord of the Dance is dead.
"Sydney Carter, who has died aged 88, was the poet and songwriter whose Lord of the Dance became the most celebrated religious song of the 20th century... The number's success stems from two elements. It has a lively, catchy tune, adapted from an air of the American Shaker movement. But the optimistic lines 'I danced in the morning when the world begun/and I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun' also contain a hint of paganism which, mixed with Christianity, makes it attractive to those of ambiguous religious beliefs or none at all."
Attractive to the ambiguous. Cute, huh?
