    She doesn't like this song could be because she just did it for a pay check, maybe she didn't write it.

    This song makes me - for REAL - nauseous. And not because it's BAD.
    It's a dark communist dirge set to a reggae-carnival tempo. This is what the world would sound like if Vietnam invaded US.

      This is what the world sounds like if you work retail knowing you’ll never be able to retire but are required to smile all day.

      Its a late stage capitalist dirge, nothing remotely Communist about it.

      +spock_elvis I like the Toys movie, so it wasn't that painful :-)
      Robin Williams and Joan Cusack are great in it.
