Why good wins.

elfsYamaraashi-chan had her last concert of the season last night (I'll blog about it as soon as I get all the photos cleaned up and ready to post) but she's been singing little snippets of it on and off all week. I've been tempted to parody The Candy Man and see what I could do with it.
I've come to the conclusion that good wins the propoganda battle because it has all the good songs, and it has all the good songs because it has all the good rhymes. I mean, c'mon, The Candy Man has "rainbows," "sunshine," and "dew."
What has evil got? "Holocausts," "massacre," and "cataclysm!" These are not exactly easy words to work with. Their high syllable count, descending beats, and obscure rhyme pairs makes it hard for evil to write decent folk songs. Maybe Skullcrusher Mountain comes close.
