Thanks HTL.

I think sometimes a serious subject like this is best done danceable or even comical. It can get people to bob along a few times and get "hooked" before they really listen to the lyrics. It's kind of like the Dixie Chicks song "Goodbye Earl" on the same subject. It's just fun to ding and dance along with.

Similarly I recently had an experience with the song "Sober Up" by AJR (https://youtu.be/DC_TrsY7U3A) I've loved this song since I first heard it because of the fun melody and unique instrumentation. It wasn't till a few months later that I saw the video and really listened to the lyrics which have actually resonated with me a lot.
