I certainly encourage you to do all the injecting you want to, but
when you do, please don't post nonsensical sentences like "'The
Dreaming' isn't 'macabre humor,' but rather a statement about the
stealing of Australia from the Aboriginals..."  First of all, you seem
to be implying that a song couldn't possibly contain black humor and
be a song about the stealing of Australia from the Aboriginals.  This
implication is a priori false.  Secondly, the song "The Dreaming" is
in fact a perfect example of a song that does use black humor to make
a statement about the stealing of Australia from the Aboriginals.
