I don't know if "tongue-in-cheek" is the best description of where that tongue is!
Actually I think the lyrics are kinda sweet, like a mini romance novel. They remind me of this other little "love song":
Alice Cooper -- "Feed My Frankenstein"

To pick the most prominent example: A lot of the classic jazz of the 50s and 60s was very much about freedom. Listen to some Charles Mingus or Liberation Music Orchestra. This music was the soundtrack to civil rights and to pushing back against the existing power structure, it was music about casting off shackles and demanding respect. It most certainly was not vacuous.

You're right.
I haven't listened to much jazz...or at least not Charles Mingus or Liberation Music Orchestra. They do sound interesting. Maybe I'll mosey over to the Jazz subforum after all when I get tired of screamed vocals here.
