Important Philosophical Point

"Do-do-do-do-do-do-do a-ah"

My Important Philosophical Point receives an assist from the 2raumwohnung song, "Es wird Morgen," I've quoted above. The point is not really philosophical at all: why quote a pop song, unless it's incredibly famous, before making a serious point? First, if only a select few people know it, the rest of your readers are apt to skip over it. Second, maybe that was the point, since you're trying to seem cool. It's not cool, it's lame. Third, if it's a song, the words have a lot less meaning without the music. And a related Fourth, most pop song lyrics are pretty insipid without the music. That's the point of the t-shirt that follows up serious, existential statements like "To be or not to be" with "Do-be-do-be-do -Sinatra."

So cut it out.
