My daughter likes it too. She belts it out at the top of her lungs.
As for unique vs special: this argument is pointless if you folks can't acknowledge that there is a difference between being special and being special with significance. There is nothing special about being special if one is speaking of being special in a general sense. Everyone is special, and that makes everyone special. The fact that everyone is special doesn't make no one special, it just means that the diversity present in humanity is large enough to ensure that there isn't very much overlap between two distinct individuals. Every snowflake is special simply because there are none like it. The fact that that doesn't give you a boner doesn't mean it isn't true. I certainly don't go around catching snowflakes and drooling over how special they are because the specialness inherent in snowflakes isn't interesting.
Do you want to feel special? Shuffle a deck of 52 playing cards 7-8 times. Then hold it in your hand. Congratulations. It is incredibly likely that you are the only person who has ever held a deck of cards with the cards in that order and you may be the last person to ever do it too. That's special. Not necessarily significant, but special nonetheless.
If you mofos want to say that not everyone is special, you have to be more specific about the scope of that specialness, otherwise, you don't make any sense. In the the general sense, everyone is special. No amount of too-cool-for-school posturing will change this fact. On the other hand, if your point is that not everyone can be Michael Jordan, well, I agree.
