I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Well, it could be "dino" instead...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"I've got a theory, it could be dino"? Now I have collective noun issues.

(And am twitchy and therefore being a bit of a snarky bitch.)

"Dinos," then. I'll take on your extra twitchy if I can get some functioning brain cells along with it...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

No, but it doesn't scan.

Doesn't scan what?

Doesn't fit into the original lyric.

If that's a serious question, she's referring to the meter.

"I've got a theory, it could be dinosaur" does not have the same meter as "I've got a theory, it could be bunnies," due to "dinosaur" being a three-syllable word. And as much as I love the idea, I don't sanction the use of "dino," cause half the fun of the dinosaur spec is getting to say the word "dinosaur." Mmm, dinosaur. Dinosaur dinosaur!

I was thinking of the demons line myself, but either way, the syllables in demons/bunnies get twice the number of beats as the other words in the line. I don't see the difficulty in shortening the first syllable and adding another syllable.
