I despised this song for years. I'm still not sold on the choice of title, which comes across as 9 parts nursery rhyme, 1 part poetry. But beyond that it's a great piece of music with some clever (somewhat black?) lyrics.
I gave it an 8. I have always liked this song. I think his vocals are beautiful on this track, and the tune is catchy. It saddens me that he called this one of the worst songs ever recorded in musical history.
Played it eleven times a day for the first month after the single was released and haven't listened to it more than eleven times since. I don't know why that is. Anyway, even though my heart says 10, I guess I have to look at the evidence and go with a solid 8.
