12. If they're shooting legitimate targets, does it matter that they're singing?

And if it does, this isn't really the WORST thing they could be singing, is it?

I mean, "Another one bites the dust," would have been much worse.

Of course, that really all depends on whether they were legitimate targets or not, I think.
