My dad used to bitch about the songs we (his kids) listened to on the radio. He'd change the radio station, without giving an explanation
I hated those moments, why did he change the station? Why doesn't he listen to his slow jazz songs on his way back from
work or something? Why now, why change the station when we were listening to our favourite songs....
Fast forward 10 years, and I'm 20. I turn Hitz.fm, on and listen to a song. I have no idea who it is, but after googling (I googled money money 2011 song lyrics)
several times, I found the lyrics.
Here is the chorus or something.
Ain’t about the (ha) Ka-Ching Ka-Ching.
Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world change,
Forget about the Price Tag.
Am I the only one on God's Earth who is annoyed by this insult to language? 9/24 words of this verse, aren't even words.
And we wonder why Malaysians' English is so bad. And we try teaching Maths and Science in English thinking it will improve
the grammar and vocabulary of our children.
But we leave songs like these to infect the mind of our young! This must be some kind of cruel joke; this song. It's stupid.
this is just my opinion, but this, song, is stupid. I don't care so much about the lyrics, but the rhythm, the ...everything!
This isn't music, this is noise.Noise with words < I would write that, but thing is, the artist doesn't even
use words sometimes.
Imagine you were a child, listening to KeSha and this artist on the radio. You would think
"This doesn't sound good (at all). But why does it get played so many times? Not only on this station. but other stations
too. This must mean there is something wrong with me, this song has to be good,maybe it's me who has bad taste in music... "
