"Grandma's Feather Bed"

| "Back Home Again"
The Funny Lyrics: There's a fire softly burning, supper on the stove.
Why They're Funny: This line has always made me laugh. from the overall mood of the song, one surely would suppose that the comma that I've placed in the middle of the line belongs there. but you can't actually hear commas or other punctuation in singing. nor does checking a lyrics site help much in trying to determine intended punctuation. even when various lyrics sites agree as to the words of a song, the punctuation that they indicate varies all over the place, and not a few lyrics sites omit punctuation altogether. but the overall sense of the song tells us that the comma surely must belong. but on hearing this line alone, it is equally possible to hear it without the comma, giving the line quite a different meaning and sense altogether!

"Life is so Good"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Life is so Good Life is so Good
These Days My Life is so Good My Life is so Good These Days Why They're Repetitive: It's a cute little song, but in 2 minutes, he only uses 7 words, in one of these four combinations. It can get a little more than annoying.

"Annie's Song"
The Lyrics: Let me drown in your laughter,
Let me die in your arms. Why: What an unexpected place to fine scary lyrics, in this romantic ballad know for being written to John Denver's wife at the time, and sweet to the point of being often perceived as cloying. But these particular lines employ death metaphors that might not bother one who appreciates them. The first might be less prone to be taken literally by anyone, since drowning in laughter is literally impossible. But since dying in someone's arms is literally possible, I bet that line has spooked some, especially children not yet developed in their language skills to the point of clearly recognizing and understanding metaphors.

The Lyrics: Oh Montana, give this child a home.
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own. Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes, give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana Skies. Why: This song mentions Montana, a large rural state in the USA, and its title is a reference to Montana's nickname, "Big Sky Country".
