Alphabet song

In 1976, the Swedish group ABBA ravished the world with their hit song “Dancing Queen.” Even after 30 years since its exposition at King Carl Gustaf’s ball, the song remains a favorite in dance clubs. Mixed with pop-operatic harmonies and inspiration to the dance rhythm in George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby," as well as the drumming on Dr. John's 1972 album “Dr. John's Gumbo”, ABBA is able to convey an elated feeling of limitless joy and highlights the greatest music of the disco era. Through a…

identifying ourselves with a song. We also learned the effect of Stockholm Syndrome, and I thought that it was interesting to relate this event to the saying of “which came first the chicken or the egg”. The following lines will depict my point. Many believe that choosing “your song” has to do with whether or not the song does something for the person, or if the lyrics and melodies are congruent with one’s personality. However, it was interesting to view the act of choosing a song through the…

their options and expand their abilities. In other musical genres, it is rare to see an artist switch their style of music. For example, Desiigner, a rapper, would not think of writing or singing a ballad love song or Metallica, a rock band, would not think of writing or singing a hip hop song. All artists in K-pop go through different eras with their music styles and looks. Most girl groups and artists can go from a cute, bubbly concept for one era and then switch it up to a more dark, sexy…

The next song Benny and I talked about was Kill the Pain. This song begins with a quick guitar and drum intro to set the beat and then jumps right into the soulful lyrics. The trumpet is introduced right after the lead vocalist and continues to play in-between singing. Once the chorus is sung the trumpet plays along with the vocalist and the drum switches to a faster pace. The style of this song is soul and funk and it is very fast paced.What Kill the Pain is really about is the civil rights…

A few years ago, one of my good friends sent me some songs to listen to by a band that I had never heard of called Twenty One Pilots. Their sound was completely different from anything I had ever heard before, containing some rap, a ukulele, and a piano all in one album. No one song sounded like the other, but they all contained one common element: some type of deep message hidden in the lyrics. At first, I rejected the band, not liking the way the music sounded, but when I listened again,…

I chose the song Baby Got Back because i thought the words mixed up were very funny. Instead of hearing the words “I like big butts and I cannot lie”, people heard “I like big butts in a can of limes.” I t is really funny to think about the words and how similar they sound ("I like big butts in a can of limes” n.p.). Another song I chose was Ain't Talkin 'Bout Love. Listeners heard the lyrics as “Ain't Taco Bell love.” Since I love food I though it was an appropriate one to choose ("Ain't Taco…

then? Cause I'm coming home again. I'm coming home again.” The lyrics is talking about Mr. West returning to his hometown. Which is a metaphor for returning to his roots. Going back to the basics, starting over again. In the music video and in the song Mr. West used Chicago as personification acting as though she is a girl or a real person. He’s acting as though he could have a conversation with her/ Chicago. In his first verse Mr. West being by telling the story of his city by saying, “I met…

Album Review. Likes: The Great Forever, Shoulda' Known Better, Night, Gon' B Alright Dislikes: Burn It Up! Overall: Back to the strong suit of lyrical social consciousness; musically, it lost my attention 11 years ago, Janet Jackson endured a ridiculous backlash and blacklisting after her breast was accidentally shown during her Superbowl halftime performance. The incident nearly, if not actually, ruined her current album, Damita Jo's, chances of getting the acknowledgement it deserved. Over…

The song is cool and chill, and the instrumentation that Leadbelly uses is guitar. I also notice the call and response in this piece of music. For example he sang the line of “My girl, my girl, don’t you lie to me..where did you sleep last night,” and then he followed by saying “Come on and tell me somebody.” I think Leadbelly should be recognize as an artist or musician in the society. Despite of his heinous crimes, it should not be affected in his career as a musician. Personal life and his…
