I'm not sure how many of you out there listen to what is playing on the Top 40 stations right now, but as we made a 16 hour drive yesterday to get home, we listened to a lot of XM, primarily because you couldn't get any other stations to come in. So, between CNN Newsroom and Disney Radio, the kid and I flipped thru some other stations and I really listened to what some of these lyrics are. Some fine examples of what is popular right now.
Mims with "I'm hot coz I'm fly, you ain't coz you not.....this is why, this is why, this is why I'm hot." and the ever popular Fergi with ".....up in the gym just workin' on my fitness......" I mean, if you really think about this, you can actually just throw these in to every day life.
"Hey honey, where ya been?"
"Oh, up in the gym just workin' on my fitness."
How does this music sell? And what's worse is that the 8-year-old kid knows ALL the lyrics. And LIKES them!!! For a child who used to ask to listen to Simon and Garfunkle, this is both depressing and disturbing to me. Am I getting that old where I've become a crankity old woman who can't stand the mainstream? Or has music just gotten really bad?
If you've got bad lyrics, send them my way. I think I'm going to build a whole library of them so I can just randomly throw them in to converstations once in a while, you know, just to keep it fun.
