Melodic fit

Ever listen to a song and not understand what the singer is saying? Song lyrics that make you go hmm... are sometimes just misheard, but occassionally there's a tune that just does not make sense. Even music legends, such as Paul Mccartney are guilty of placing words where they dont belong just to fit the tune. McCartney's, Live and Let Die single incorporates the word "in" three times in a ten-word sentence. The love song You are So Beautiful places emphasis on the words To Me after the title words, which really isn't that much of a compliment if you think about it. So I guess its just personal opinion to let the catchy beat sacrifice the song's word selections.

The lead was a little lengthy and the writer seemed a little too caught up in her own personal opinion, which seemed to distract from the subject itself. Later on in the story, it became biased to what songs and artists she liked. It seemed as though she was belittling Britney Spears compared to Steve Miller Band, which she seemed to like and thought that their use of made-up words was "OK." This doesn't really follow the format of a breaking news story, but that is probably because a piece on made-up and misheard song lyrics does not usually appear on the front page of a newspaper.
