Taylor Swift – 22 Lyrics

12 years ago

This song is a blatant ripoff of Rebecca Black's "Friday." It is also grossly inferior. Watch both videos back to back. Rebecca's complete inexperience and lack of self awareness inspires pity, while Taylor's practiced, yet inept vamping is embarrassing on a completely different level. Rebecca's lyrics are funny, albeit unintentionally so, while Taylor's lyrics are the kind of vacuous fluff used to sell soft drinks to teenagers. "Friday" sticks in my head for hours after I hear. I just listened to "22" and I already forgot the tune. And whose party would you rather be at? OK, I'd rather be at Taylor's party too, but at least Rebecca has one black friend.

Scatman John – Scatman's World Lyrics

12 years ago

This song posits the theory that our individual, subjective perspectives of reality constitute individual, subjective worlds. As Conrad said, "We live as we dream, alone." The Scatman believes that his world, "Scatman's World," is superior to the worlds experienced by his listeners. The listeners are imprisoned by their own perspectives and are thus unable to experience the superior state that is Scatman's World. But the Scatman has a solution, "fantasy." If there is no way for the listeners to directly enter Scatman's World (and there isn't), then they must recreate Scatman's world from inside their own consciousnesses through the power of imagination. "Scatman's World," the song, is an aid in this process, as in the final two verses, Scatman John gives instruction on interior world building. If the listeners follow these instructions correctly, then "the lie" that was their own worlds will have been effectively replaced by the Scatman's truth.

Barenaked Ladies – Another Postcard Lyrics	12 years ago
This song is about a songwriter who has realized that his band's fan base is as dumb as chimps, and that it doesn't even matter what he writes anymore. So he writes about chimps.

Owl City – Good Time Lyrics	12 years ago
This song is a huge fuck you to poor people and everyone who suffered because of the economic crisis. It's about two pop stars who have no responsibilities and enough disposable income to throw their cell phones into the pool.

Sarah Brightman – Captain Nemo Lyrics

12 years ago

This song is amazing. The singer is a woman who has fallen in love with a magical shape shifting whale creature. In human form, the whale creature is something like an English Aquaman. He was born in the sea and has come to shore and fallen in love with a woman. Alas, they must part, because he can't live long on land. Society is against their love and the police are coming in boats to try to stop Captain Nemo from returning to the sea. They want to do experiments on him and punish him for loving Sarah Brightman. But they will fail, because Captain Nemo's shape shifting powers make it impossible to distinguish him from other whales, and also he can swim deeper than their best police submarines.
