Hmm, this might be of interest to more than a couple of you, 0ct0pus argues that "Birdhouse In Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants is a stupid person's idea of a clever song. Is he right?

Heh. It reads to me like someone throwing his toys out of the pram a bit because other people like something and he doesn't understand WHY!!1!

I don't have much music training, but it's catchy as hell, so I don't really care about how the chord progressions are all wrong or whatever he's moaning about :D And the lyrics are funny, but I haven't heard anyone claiming they're the smartest thing ever!
