That *is* what the Decemberists do, after all, as anyone who's a fan could tell you. I don't know what they're referencing, though. If anyone out there really feels like putting in the effort and researching it, more power to you. I still love them, this song included.

Odalisque - Offensive or Not? | Reviewer: Max N Molly | 10/14/07 I appreciate your response, which is in the form of an opinion. However, comparing a story about a vengeful killer to a story with obvious anti-semitic overtones does not make sense. Therefore, the question still stands, is Colin Meloy AntiSemitic? Not anti semitic | Reviewer: Brian | 8/18/07 the man is telling as story. Just as The Mariner's Revenge doesn't make collin a vengeful killer, Odalisque doesn't make him an anti-semite. Odalisque - AntiSemitic or not | Reviewer: Max N Molly | 7/28/07 In response to reviewer Danny, we also find the lyrics "ten dirty Jews" in the song Odalisque by the Decemberists offensive. Is Colin Meloy AntiSemitic or is he referencing something we are unaware of? If anyone can give legitimate insight, we are interested. Offensive? | Reviewer: Danny | 7/19/07 Perhaps someone can offer an explanation to the reference to "ten dirty Jews" in the song Odalisque. As a Jew I find it gratuitously offensive. title | Reviewer: tara | 10/7/05 this is my favorite decemberists song... beautiful poetry put to music. this will always make me smile. and replay. so fucking beautiful.
