But that was one of the shining achievements of OMWF, IME. That all the singing did relate to and move forward the plot, none of it was a one-off.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
but why wouldn't Xander have told about the amulet during "I've Got a Feeling?"
I've got a feeling
That I screwed up here ...
Yeah. The summoning should have been accidental, somehow. He picked it up while humming a silly tune of some sort, then accidentally threw it in the vial of virgin's blood or something.
Here's the thing that bugs - one tiny change could have fixed it, I think. During Walk Through the Fire, Tara has a line " everything is turning out so dark". If Xander had sung that one line I think the whole thing wouldn't have seemed such an asspull.
Willow falling for Kennedy. Also, the whole "lesbidar" joke because Willow, while initially naive in the series, had matured way beyond that.
Willow and Xander piling on Buffy in Dead Man's Party. Joyce and Giles had legitimate reasons to get on her case; Xander and especially Willow should have had a clue as to why Buffy felt she needed to take off.
Frank, that has always been my problem with that episode and I always held a bit of a grudge against both Xander and Willow because of it. I'm sorry, but floating a pencil and getting a boyfriend are nowhere on the scale of sending your boyfriend to Hell.
Xander I at least could see it from, given the "kick his ass" scene in Becoming II, although you'd think he'd be feeling just a little guilty. But yeah, Willow's been going through some really "big" stuff. @@
Yeah, I'm with Frank and Sail on that. I remember that I saw Dead Man's Party very late on DVD - possibly during the sixth or seventh season. I was retroactively really pissed at those two. Also, I loved Buffy's pink party dress.
