Fugee's Song Analysis

Decent Essays
I realized that the subject didn't have much to it. These are just songs about other songs that just so happened don't exist. I've looked into the making of each song and have been going band by band to find anything of interest. Nothing cracked hasn't covered before.

It was pretty self explanatory, so in order to give it a slight twist I wrote the details with a tilted perception. I got the idea when I was looking for songs about songs.

    Surprisingly, some of the best articles I have read were very casually written. A fitting description for the article “Lil Wayne I Am Not a Human Being II” by zcamp. It is loose in style and flows easily, reflecting that of a conversation between friends. The author writes confidently about the number of phallic metaphors Wayne uses in his songs, noting that he sets the world record, and makes a joke of his own renaming one of the songs as “Penis Colada”. Of course, even in a conversational tone, the author shows a great deal of effort in researching not only the number of songs contributing to Wayne’s world record, but also taking the reader through a brief history and progression of the artist.…
