Or would it be okay, since it does not have the same meaning as the actual song?
Whatcha' think?

A friend of mine made up his own Duck -n- Dive song with the reasoning that he was tired of hearing and singing the same two songs.
Speaking for myself, I told him that it just didn't feel right. This song has a real special meaning, and to start whoring out the style like that just to accomodate a "hip" pow-wow crowd would be disrespectful. Especially considering that I have never, ever, ever, ever heard any of my elders even suggest, "hey guys, we need a new Duck -n- Dive."
But back to the original subject, I have never liked Duck -n- Dive being used for Prairie Chicken.
