Music is a way to know what’s going on in the world. Teens and young adults may not watch the news often, but a lot of the time artist make songs based on what’s going on at the time. In 2014 when pop group MAGIC! Released the song “Rude” it made a statement as to how the younger generation may think of marriage. When a father came out with his own version of the popular song, he reached what older people may think of marriage, and how one should go about it. The differences between “Rude” by MAGIC!, and the parody by Benji, and Jenna Cowart are, age, the tone, and what the father wants for the daughter.

In “Rude” by MAGIC the lead singer of the band was in his early 30s when the song was released. He wrote it about him wanting to marry a …show more content…
The lead singer in the song is a guy that as far as we know only sings in his garage with his band, and nothing more. The father wants his daughter to have something way more than a guy like so. When he says no he says”You say I 'll never get your blessing till the day I die/Tough luck my friend but no still means no!” That is enough to say to me that obviously this guy wants better for his daughter. The guy in the video that portrayed the arranged marriage the father has for her, has similar looks to the father, and seems to have some high paying …show more content…
The guy that he sings of is a guy that works making burgers, and fries, and lives in his mother 's basement. Now most parents wouldn’t want their daughter to marry a guy who still lives with his mother. There is nothing wrong with living with your mother, but in this case the guy is 28, and works minimum wage. I don 't know of anyone who allow their daughter to marry a guy that may believe that is a way of getting through life. The father wants his daughter to find a real love, not an arranged marriage by him, but a guy that can take care of

    Come A Little Bit Closer Analysis

    Songs are poems set to music. They come in all different varieties, genres and styles but often the message conveyed is similar. In modern music the message or theme usually relates to love or substance abuse. A few decades ago, the messages were comparable, and even though society was quite different then, the themes in music were relatively the same. Two such examples are “Come a Little Bit Closer” by Jay and the Americans and “A Woman Needs Love” by Ray Parker Jr. Both of these songs share a common idea of women cheating.…

    Lost Ones By J. Cole Analysis

    He states “Frankly I’m feelin’ like we ain’t ready”/ “We still kids ourselves”/ “ How we gon raise kids by ourselves”, the focus on "we" reflects on how pregnancy includes both female and men , and it also demonstrates a man who recognizes his responsibility in the pregnancy itself. In the second verse, the young girl stands up for what she believes is right and backfires stating, “Boy, you got some nerve to come up to me talking about abortion, this my body, so don’t think you finna force s***”/ “Trynna take away a life, is you God M***********”, throughout the rest of the song the female speaker does not only express a sense of anger toward her boyfriend but her moral beliefs take over the argument, implying that regardless of the situation she will not have an abortion. Lastly the song closes with both the female and male speakers realizing that they will have to face the consequences. The male speaker finishes the song stating, “... and I know it will be hard but if we created a baby, God will help us”, the young boy gives up and comprehends that no matter what he says to his girlfriend, she will remain firmly in her…

    I M Looking Through You Rhetorical Devices

    Comparing The 2 (8 Paragraphs) The song that the Beatles made from their “Rubber Soul” album was a song called “I’m Looking Through You.” The song is talking about how the person looks the same, but is acting differently. With people coming back from Vietnam, how they act can be completely different from the time they left before being set out to war. Before they leave, they could be outgoing and caring, but when they come back they're quiet and closed off.…

    Anthem Poetic Devices

    There is always an immense amount of pressure to conform and to not be different, making sure to stay with the current “style” along the way. In the novelette, Anthem by Ayn Rand everyone in society is exactly the same and follow a certain set of rules very strictly. While, in the song “It’s Still Rock And Roll To Me” by Billy Joel, he sings about the the pressure he is given for being different. I, as a listener, can relate to this due to the fact that there is pressure towards me, from family and friends, to join a sport or another activity, which I do not want to do as I enjoy other things. This song, from Billy Joel, is the sole definition of individuality, and I, as a listener, follow that definition, and do as is needed for me to enjoy…

    It shows that marriage can be corrupt and that cheating will cause a lot of person to your “significant other.” This song really is for anyone that has experienced or is going through a marriage or even just a relationship finding out that their significant other is cheating. Sam Smith must’ve gone through something very similar to depict this picture into this song. The pathos in this song is very strong.…

    Introduction Domestic violence is everywhere around us and for some of us it is not something new. It comes in many forms physical, emotional, and psychological. The abuse is very real and when it starts we are the last to notice it.

    Beliefs Of Transcendentalism

    In this song she is saying that she doesn't need anyone to love her and she is better off on her own. Also saying that she has felt better than ever now that she is held down by a relationship. I think transcendentalists will agree with these statements/beliefs because they think being self-reliant is a very important trait. I would also agree with these statements/beliefs because it is better to not always have to depend on other people and you can do some things by yourself. Other people aren't always going to be there to help you out.…

    Analysis Of Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines

    In the text of the song, Thicke is making the argument that women need to be domesticated to protect themselves from their fragile, dumb, animalistic nature, yet this music video only seems to provide evidence that it is actually the men who have much to learn in order to prevent their animalistic nature from taking over as it does in the music video in the form of a predator versus prey scenario. These older, financially stable men are seen preying on these innocent, child-like women who supposedly can’t care for themselves which supports the notion that the men are actually the problem and they should be kept far away from any woman rather than being the dominant protector like Thicke is attempting to convey they should. Unfortunately, though, the popularity of the song itself and the video proves that Thicke’s perception on gender roles is one that is supported by many people. The notion of men as the protectors of women has been present for a good portion of history, but with feminist movements becoming more and more present and talked about it is sad to see the big players in pop music, such as Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams, and T.I., supporting the domestication of women which thus supports the loss of women’s rights. When young, impressionable girls and boys heard this song on the radio or…

    Aretha Franklin's Music Analysis

    So, when Aretha Franklin sang “all I’m asking/ Is for a little respect,” Franklin was essentially letting the world know that without the help of the wife, the burden on the husband to care for and support his family financially would have been unbearable. Therefore, without the support of the wife, the husband would not have been able to reach such a high point in his career. In this way, the world was caught by surprise because not many individuals had dared to question the traditional family structure of the time, especially in such a public manner. As a result, millions of women who previously felt trapped by their role in the family, began to identify with this song as a means to…

    Analysis Of Before He Cheats By Carrie Underwood

    The double standards surrounding her actions mean that the song is always viewed in a positive manner, as most attribute it to her strength and independence that she could emerge from a defective relationship unscathed and ready to get back at her ex. However, due to her status as a feminine role model, Underwood unintentionally permits and promotes the slander of women and property damage as an appropriate response to cheating. Thus, being hurt by an unfaithful partner becomes grounds for taking sexually unethical and generally illegal acts as a method of revenge. Country life ideals are favored and adored by country music singers and fans. While these themes such as home cooked meals and the importance of family are not necessarily bad, outdated gender roles and double standards have the potential to come alongside older-fashioned country music…
