Hey there
WC>     From a commercial point of view, the lyrics aren't always too

How true.
Remember Harry Nillson? "Brother bought a cocoanut, he bought it for a dime 
His sister had another one she paid it for the lime She put the lime in the 
cocoanut she drink them both down she put the lime in the cocanut, she drink 
em both down she put the lime in the cocanut, she called the doctor woke him 
up
she said Doctor, aint there nothing I can take She said doctor, to relieve 
this belly ache He said now let me get this straight..."
Etc, etc, etc
A silly song, at best, the lyrics mean absolutely nothing, but it was a hit, 
and alot of people remember it to this day. Played it on gigs, myself. People 
love it!
Lyrics don't always have to mean a thing to touch people. Look at alot of the 
crap out today. Neither does the music for that matter. See previous comment.
I personally prefer it when either or both DO mean something, but nowadays, 
it's just not an issue. Just what the lawyers think about profitability...
MY 2 cents (shame you can only hear 3 cents and above, eh?).
