**Thea** –Excellent explaination of the psyches & motivations of Spike vs Angel(us). It should be put in a F.A.Q. or something…if we had one. Definitely worth cutting & pasting for use in a future discussion…

Anyone have any thoughts as to why Angelus was singing “Teddy Bear’s Picnic”? (other than the fact that the first two lines of it are a bit menacing)

I just thought it was menacing and f-ed up. I figured that since it was a child’s song it would sound particularly evil. What are your thoughts?
