Isn't it great? :D My mom's favorite part is everyone stomping at the end of the song, it jolts you and reminds you that there's something more going on behind the frivolity. Also she used to be running around downstairs as a little girl, so she could hear it above her.

I completely agree, that's a really thorough analysis! It makes a lot of historic sense that the changes happened when they did. I still think the passivity narrative is important, but it definitely dosn't mean the modern narratives aren't!
