On that a capella show from a few months ago, a group of women in their forties and fifties sang this song, and they made it actually make sense -- they sang it as older women looking back on the silly drama of youth, and it actually works when it's sung with some awareness that it is silly drama.

Of course, when you said Love story, at first I thought you meant the "doodOOOOdoodoodoo DOOODOOO dooo DOOO doo DOOOOO doo doo."
My standards for pop lyrics aren't high. But I saw Taylor Swift at the Grammys, and she can't sing.

Of course, when you said Love story, at first I thought you meant the "doodOOOOdoodoodoo DOOODOOO dooo DOOO doo DOOOOO doo doo."
You know, from your "doodOOOOdoodoodoo DOOODOOO dooo DOOO doo DOOOOO doo doo," I totally got that damn melody stuck in my head! I think my mom had a music box with that song. Why, I have no idea.
