Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Doesn't take much thought to plug song lyrics into a readability calculator.  

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.

Go back and look prior to the years you posted. More of the same for the most part.

This is a bad example. If you look at the entire context of The Wall album the lyrics are a huge part of the album.


Even that qoute from the teacher plays a part in the overall story of the album.

I never got this argument. If songs are so dumb, why don't we all just become musicians?

I really wasn't trying to use those lyrics as an example of bad lyrics. Actually those words aren't even lyrics. I'm guessing it was just sampling from a movie.


It was just a random posting to see if someone would post the other half of the audio sample "how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat." Pink Floyd, kings of abstract music that they were, have some pretty meaningful lyrics. And "The Wall" is a great work of art that is also a lesson in history and glimpse into the mind of someone having a psychotic episode.


I equate the topic in this post to comparing Abstract visual art versus Realism art. Abstract art allows the viewer to experience a part of the overall piece, and relate to it however they may. It may be nothing in form, but appeals in some way to them, or reminds them of something. The same is done with music. The listener may like the beat, or the bass, or maybe just 1 line in the song. And that is enough to make the music desirable to them. It's kind of like when kids are singing "We don't need no education". They don't even know what they are singing about, but they identify with that one line.


This is what art is. The people that did this study obviously have not taken into account old jazz music. Lyrically and musically.

I personally agree with those who think (most) music doesn't stack up to yesterday.

 

With that being said...

 

de do do do, de da da da

sussudio

do wah diddy

sha la la la la la la, la la la la-di da (sha la la la)

o-bla-di, o-bla-da

coo coo cachoo

zip a dee doo dah

tootti fruitti

 

and then there's Minnie the Moocher, too.

Popular music is dumb and dumb music is popular.

 

 

Which is why "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" will always chart higher than "Eleanor Rigby"

People don't listen to music to make them think, they listen to make them feel.
