I'm surprised this song hasn't generated more comments and controversy.
Truthfully, of all of Berlins' songs, I got tired of this one fastest (talk about "overplayed"), but it is an interesting and thought provoking song.
The objectification of the woman, contrasted to the man, is an interesting line of thought, and one has to carefully consider who is truly the object here.
The role of the man is so much less defined in this song, so much more ambiguous.
