1. I kind of like this song, but what really bothers me about it is this line:

If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor just do what you feel

I am kind of sickened by the attitude toward poor women, like they aren't human beings or somethings. Those lines have always bothered me, Anyone else?

4. Yep...that has ALWAYS bothered me.

"Just do what you feel" with the poor girls?
I won't even whistle the tune (even though it IS a catchy one).

6. It is a dilemma. I know it was another time and place, but it kind of shows you

how women of no means were regarded. Then, and probably even now.

5. It doesn't bother me. I see it more as a slam on the upper class.

If her daddy's rich, you have to impress her with money.

If her daddy's poor, you can just be yourself.

7. It sounded like off-hand advise.

Not a "slam"

8. They're Brits, so class was probably never far

from their minds.

2. Oh yeah, also he is hideously ugly.

and he is talking about women as if he is entitled to them. That also bothers me.

3. Dig the Kazoo:)

9. I must have heard this song a hundred times or more...

And I swear I never heard the guy blowing into the bottle before until I saw this video.

"In the summertime..."

Pbbbbfffft!

Interesting!
