there are lot of things that aren't original at all about it, but notice i'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing.

there is NOTHING original about using verse-chorus-verse, but that doesn't mean what they're putting in those verses and choruses isn't original. in this case, i'd still say it's very original, but like i said, that's not necessarily a slight. i just don't think it does any good to say a horse shoe is a corkscrew, and then get mad when someone else says the horse shoe is no good for uncorking wine bottles.
