Hdz Thought: Mood, Tone or Something Else?

Every so often, when left unsupervised, I do this crazy thing called think. It's dangerous, I know, but many times it's when I get my most interesting ideas :)

The point of this Hdz thought is to discuss the following--so please comment. No this isn't mandatory and no this isn't for a grade, but any time you can expose yourself to a new training opportunity it's a good thing. Due to the explicit lyrics though, I wouldn't pursue this if you know your parents would not approve. There will be other opportunities. 


My iTunes library is huge and diverse. I make a point of keeping it well organized too. Now with over 8,000 songs floating around to hear the same song twice on shuffle is a little odd. That aside, this is one of my favorite songs( please take note that there are references to sexuality, drug use, and profanity. If you or your parental figure find these things unacceptable DO NOT pursue this activity):

This song is a cover--circa 2006--and the original--circa 19995--is below

NOW, the lyrics are the same, which means the ____________ is the same( this would be a good place to look at your readings for the word) The question is is it the tone or the mood or something else that is different?
