No, it would be immature.
To elaborate, if the thing was actually a friendly joke, then no response is needed. If it was more straight-faced, then any response would be childish.
Personally, I'm fond of Rebecca and her songs, but I didn't like or approve of her song to Yahtzee. Not because I feel bad for Yahtzee, but because I dislike such personal attacks, even if they are in jest.
Yahtzee handled the situation quite well. He posted the song on his previous video to show that it doesn't bother him and acknowledged it with a small refference this week. Any more would be pointless.

If it was humorous why not? If it pains him to do so, then no, but eh, we all go through this sorta crap, and seeing is how I did not even know there was a relationship between the two, I am sure there are tons that feel the same, im not delving into his personal life nor would I, but if its funny, why not *shrugs*
I don't think it was really a personal attack: more of a deliberate joke that referenced some of the negative points of his Yahtzee persona (i.e. the things that make him funny).Jandau said:
Yahtzee's always maintained the "cannot be arsed" approach to most things and I think it suits him. I don't think he will ever respond to the song outside of random comments like in the NMH2 review and I don't think he should either.
By not responding, he's saying a good deal more than he would if he did respond.

NoOoOoOoOoOoOo... As a rule creative people tend to be kinda sensitive about their work, none more so than musicians... Look at Axel Rose, for example. Also, the slight brush off in the latest vid was enough. Just make a VERY small reference to it and go about your day doing EXACTLY what you did before, thats pretty f*cking brutal as it is.
im confused....is there something there relationship wise or was it just a joke song like all her other video-game based songs.....how long have i been out of the loop?
Why is this in the Gaming Forum? This is only tangentially related to gaming.
And no. It was a one shot joke, and if they want to do anything about it, it is their business and I don't care.

Well I think its pretty plain the Rebecca attacked him in earnest and he can't really respond because every criticism she made was accurate.
All he can do is acknowledge her attack and move on.
