Answer to Question 1

 The traditional Skip Dance song makes light of heavy drinking, while Navajo Inn speaks despairingly of women finding their husbands unconscious behind a tall fence.

Answer to Question 2

 Recently composed songs are based on the Enemyway musical style (usually Sway or Dance songs). These songs are not intended for ceremonial use and often have a text message of protest and social commentary.
