This was a great peice on a great song. Well done, Sarah Karni. I've always thought the "fire" the singer lights at the end of the song could have been a fire in the fireplace, but just as easily (perhaps more likely) was a euphimism for a hand-rolled marijuana cigarette--how else could a jilting end in "...isn't it good, Norwegian Wood." Seems more into the spirit of the times and Lennon's word play, to me.
