♪I tip-top topple over for my fun loving nun
'Cause she has so much fun, so much joy
And so much wonderful love for everyone!♪

Fun Loving Nun is the second track off oM's third studio album, The Gay Parade. What's your honest opinion on this song? Favourite lyrics? Opinions on a deeper meaning or something? Discuss anything

Also, if you wish, let us know how you'd rate it from 0 to 10 (one decimal point allowed) If enough people rate daily, by the end of this whole shebang I can make a spreadsheet of a huge ranking of the discog. Vote on other posts as well! Until the very end of our last song of this discussion (all the way to aethermead,) I will be counting all votes on all songs no matter when they are commented.
