Hasher Britarse: I always wonder if I could get away with describing these songs as politically correct, you know "The empowering story of a native Inuit girl who thwarts a pair of white, male abusers" (Eskimo Nell), "An optically-challenged father's defence of his daughter's virginity from a would-be rapist" (One-Eyed Riley), "A humble Rom traveller proves his superiority over a pampered aristocrat" (The Tinker) and so on. Admittedly, I don't think that even my best persuasive powers would get the third verse of Irian Jaya past most university Women's Groups.

Off Side 7: Song of Ice and Fire has "The Bear and the Maiden Fair," no?
