jeff goofed and sent this to me, not the list... woj ----- Woj writes: >anyways...i tend to doubt the KaTe's omission is due to either the >homosexual aspect of it or the bawdiness of the song - witness "ran >tan waltz" or "wow" as evidence that she does not shy away from this >material. i tend to think that it was a length consideration. Whether or not KaTe is bawdy at times has nothing to do with whether or not she wanted to sing this in a bawdy style or in the way she chose. With the extra 2 verses, the song would probably have run less than 4.5 minutes (it's currently at 3 minutes for 5 verses). 4.5 minutes is not a long song, and it was a b-side, so there wouldn't really be fears that it would be passed over for radio play due to its length. Any ideas what length considerations would have caused the song to be shortened? Jeff -- |Jeffrey C.
