Thank G-D, the place I daven sings a ton of Modzitz (including a lot of stuff not recorded), I find the songs much for fitting for the theme and meaning of the words (obviously depends on the Baal teffila understanding what song to use, but if you choose the right song, it is just out of this world).

Not sure which came first or second, but the same happened in Camp Torah Vodaath "what is the difference whether it is up high or down under"
