Methinks it is better without. It's nice to appreciate lyrics standing alone as pure poetry, without the prejudice attached to knowing what particular genre of music they have been gleaned from.

Ah, I see. Now, what Master Gopher says makes sense. Unlike Fell's "Obey me because I am big and powerful and a moderator and SO THERE!" All you had to do was explain it logically to me.  ;)

But...my response was perfectly logical.

logical. Not accurate. But logical.

I think it was the other way: Fell was accurate (it is to be so because ye almighty mods say so - which is true) - but not necessarily logical - because there isn't any actual reason.

Whereas I was logical in my reasoning, but that may not be the *real* reasons why Fell wants it that way.

You can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand.

It's hard to be a man with a gun in your hand.

In a tiny karaoke bar
on the banks of the mighty Bosphorus
a Japanese man in a business suit
sings "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"
And the giant cyborg German dudes
dance with sexy French Canadians
and the overweight Americans
wear their patriotic jumpsuits
If I had any clue, would I be here?

It's "Muscular Cyborg German dudes", at least in the version I've heard.

Jock said no when I came back last time
It's looking like I lost a friend
No use calling 'cause the sky is falling
And I'm getting pretty near the end

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.

Down On The Corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.

Down On The Corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.

You don't need a penny just to hang around,
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner there's a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boy.
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not. -Andre Gide
In the depth of winter, I finally discovered that within me there lay an invincible summer. -Albert Camus

I sang that song with my class in 4th grade. We had an excellent musically-minded teacher who plays guitar and harmonica. Friday afternoon was singing time. It rocked, man. :) </nostalgia>
