Our Canadian friends are too polite to point out that they have not had a civil war and that there have been hundreds of civil wars all over the world in the past 300 years, so calling them civil-war era Canadian gypsies makes no real sense and they have to infer that as an American you are talking about the US civil war.
They are, in-fact, Victorian era Canadian gypsies.

While that might be a catchy tune, I have grown to absolutely despise the "group of school-children sing-along" gimmick in recording. I hate it so much that I hate what appears to be some very good songwriting. The instant I hear what sounds like 20 people singing along sloppily in unison I shut down and stop listening.

So much hate. It's no wonder that you folks have civil wars and we don't.Flint said:

ps. Proving once again that, while we are brothers in many ways Flint, we are not twins separated at birth. It is precisely those many voices singing together that draws me into that song, and others like it.
ps. "Sloppily in unison"? I would think THAT takes true talent. Sloppily out of step with each other - not so much.
ps. You must have really, really, really hated the old Coke commercial! Or were they harmonious enough for you?

ARG!!! I just punched myself in the throat because no one else was around to punch. It hurts, man!
Okay... here's what happens in my head... (and I know this is just me and my own problems)...
When I hear an "okay" song using the cheesy and stupid sing-along gimmick on the chorus, I assume there is a conscience effort to take a merely okay song and give the impression that others like it because people listening start singing along with it. I find this to be a form of forced propaganda, a way to trick you, the listener, into thinking you are joining with a group of like-minded people and enjoying a song enough that you might just join in and sing with the band.
I hate it. HATE IT!
If I like a song, I don't need to be tricked into thinking other people like it. The bandwagon approach to force-feeding me the idea that a song might be popular, therefore worthy of my love, is unacceptable. I am my own man, not a mind-numbed sheep who sticks his finger in the air to see what direction the wind is blowing before decided what I want to think or love.
Go TRUMP!!!
urrr.... wait.
Go BERNIE!!!
