Re: why do you like the music you like?
I agree. I'm mostly a music man. If the music is good, the words can often be immaterial. There are a few exceptions, though. If the lyrics make me laugh, it can make a song that's ho-hum musically into one of my favorites. Take the old blues double entendre classic "My Handyman"
Whoever said a good man is hard to find Positively absolutely sure was blind I've found the best man there ever was Here's just some of the things that my man does... Why he shakes my ashes, greases my griddle Chimes my butter and he strokes my fiddle My man is such a handy man (oh yes he is) He threads my needle, creams my wheat Heats my heater and he chops my meat My man is such a handy man Now I don't care if you believe it or not He's so good to have around And when my furnace gets too hot He's right there and turns my damper down Great innuendo. Mostly, though, great lyrics are the gravy, not the meat. |
