Naughty, naughty, making such assumptions.

First of all, it's a dunce cap, not a "donkey hat."  The costume 'n hat
have particular signficance, as that's what she wears in the "Sat in Your
Lap" video; this is clearly from a photo shoot associated with the video.

I have no idea how you chose those words to put in KaTe's mouth, nor do I
know why you find this picture so humorous.  I thin kit fits perfectly well
with the lyrical themes expressed in SiYL, particularly the outstretched
hands (grasping for knowledge?).

No.

I fail to see why people continue to pick on "Why Should I Love You" which
is an absolutely brilliant song.
