As I said I'm not crazy about that song - to be completely clear I don't like it and never have. It's too over the top and out there for me. I was just trying to show you what the songwriters did to try and make it not totally trash her image since as lunatic as she comes off it would've been even more so without those lines added.

There are always exceptions in this or that song that was a hit for anything anyone tells you about songwriting that can be brought out for debate.

I don't have anything else to add. I'm off to Golden Ear Training. Great critical listening exercise. grin

Looking forward to hearing some of your songs.
