Lyrics not that important?

Whenever I listen to a song for the first time, I'm like 'hmm... catchy' or 'hmm.... NOT catchy :S'

And I realized, I never ever look at anything more than the tune; what about the amazing voice of the singer or the fantastic thought-provoking lyrics?

Recently I was listening to this song with lyrics that rhymed yet tied up together so beautifully! Half the time, lyricists get bugged halfway through the song and their rhyming skills deteriorate so quickly. I'll give you an example.

In the beginning, they're rhyming stuff like "assumption" and "fraction" and suddenly they start rhyming "mad" and "sad"

And half the singers? They don't care WHAT they sing, as long as they get a cd out!

One sings about some blithering idiot who dumped them, one sings about some old memory, one sings about some breakup, one sings about their 'soulmate' and before we know it, there'll be songs about cows and cats. And we'll be sitting and listening to it also.

And thn of course, there's the category of 'music' that comprises mainly of a swear word dictionary, as common human shall call it "rap".

Rap? ?More like a RIP to their chances of their song ever getting categorized into the occurring phenomenon called "music".

Although there was this one particular song, that I realllllly realllly liked. The lyrics were so true and it makes us realize what's really happening! Catchy too =)

The bottom line is, we really have got to wake up and find out what the hell random people who claim they can "Sing" are drilling into our hollow heads and also passing off as musicians :P [some of them anyway, im not saying they aren't good, i'm just saying that they randomly decide that singing is some cakewalk thing that any jobless dolt can do if they have too much time with themselves and just throw a few words together and imitate MJ (Rest In Peace)]

You must have heard of this song.... even if you have, just read the lyrics because theyre beautiful.

Shania Twain, Ka-ching

We live in a greedy little world--
that teaches every little boy and girl
To earn as much as they can possibly--
then turn around and Spend it foolishly
We've created us a credit card mess
We spend the money that we don't possess
Our religion is to go and blow it all
So it's shoppin' every Sunday at the mall

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

[chorus]
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
It's such a beautiful thing--Ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things

When you're broke go and get a loan
Take out another mortgage on your home
Consolidate so you can afford
To go and spend some more when you get bored

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

[Repeat Chorus]

Let's swing
Dig deeper in your pocket
Oh, yeah, ha
Come on I know you've got it
Dig deeper in your wallet
Oh

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

[Repeat Chorus]

Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things
Ka-ching!
