Just so Lyrical

Some songs just have the weirdest lyrics, don't they? Why am I asking questions, I can't hear you reply. Or can I... Well anyway, did you just ask what kind of songs i like? Good question, but a better one would be to ask what kind i don't like. And the answer to that question (thanks for asking) is that i don't like the majority of R'n'B songs. Maybe I'm not hip enough. But I'm down with that, chu feelin' it all chu bitches (that's right sometimes my words are sexist, but all you hoes should know that I'm trynna correct this...). Well anywho lets get on with this blog.

The Ting Tings. Interesting group name. Was the group name ring-a-ding-ding already taken or something? Anyway, apparently the singer is angry at society for not knowing her name and decided to write a song about it. "They call me hell, They call me Stacey, They call me her, They call me Jane, That's not my name, That's not my name." That's interesting and all, but if she spent less time telling what her name isn't and more time saying what it is,then all this confusion and frustration would all be resolved. Seems like such a simple solution. I don't go to a restaurant and tell the waiter what i don't want to eat.
"How may i help you sir?"
"I don't want chicken, I don't want spaghetti, I don't want tortellini, that's not my name, that's not my name..."
"I'm sorry sir, but this is Super Cheap Auto"

Eskimo Joe also likes to write about names. You know the song, "Sarah, won't you tell me your name?". Its one of those weird ass situations where the answer is given before the question.
"Sarah, won't you tell me your name?"
"Yeah, it's actually Bob."

And this crazy song by Omarion, "I got this ice box where my heart used to be". I don't know about you, but if i woke up with one of my vital organs replaced with frozen water in a cube, I wouldn't write a song about it. I'd rush off to the hospital and make them check out the obviously serious and slightly unusual medical condition. "I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold" Yeah i bet you're cold Omarion, there's no blood circulating in your body!

Yes, songs have weird lyrics. But it doesn't really matter does it. There are some songs that i like that have strange lyrics too. Lyrics that make me go "man, i totally get you bro". People listen to songs, not for what it says, but for how it makes them feel. So if you like a song that I don't, then I can deal with that. Everyone has different tastes in music...it's just that your taste is shit.

Happy Typing all
