Remix

Posted is a link to the song "We No Speak Americano" by Yolanda be cool and DCUP. I find it truly amazing that music today is based more off of its rhythm and beat rather than the lyrics that make it up. For instance look at songs like "Gettin' Over You" and "Like a G6." If you truly listen to the lyrics, they can't really be linked together to make sense and are often very shallow. What happened to music by Billy Joel and Bob Dylan? Their songs were truly stories that had a deep meaning and represented an experience in their lives. Don't get me wrong I love listen to new music and "fist pumin like a champ to it." I just find it very interesting how music has evolved from something so meaningful and deep to something seemingly shallow and almost un-passionate.
