I agree, Alex, and that's really a very good (to my mind, anyway) analysis of the situation. I consider it a song, one that is mangled on a regular basis and one that I dearly love, but not sacred in the slightest. I think the words have been changed a bit more than mere translation difficulties can explain, and so I think this is just very silly. Childish on the 'artist's' part and it would equally childish of us to respond in any reactionary way. Which, of course, we will.
