Mindless Mindless Mindless Repetition

The following is a critical dissection of the pop song I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas.  This particular tune is currently being vastly overplayed on Top 40 radio stations across the country and has confirmed beyond all reasonable doubt that song writing and music as an art form have all but vanished into the dark abyss of mindless repetition.  Some of the lyrics have been softened so as not to seem crass or offend any of our younger readers, after all this is a family website.

Black Eyed Peas I Gotta Feeling

Chorus:

I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
A feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
A feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
A feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

V. 1

Tonights the night night
Lets live it up
I got my money
Lets spend it up
Go out and smash it
Like oh my gosh
Jump off that sofa
Lets get get off

I know that well have a ball
If we get down
And go out
And just loose it all
I feel stressed out
I wanna let it go
Lets go way out spaced out
And losing all control

Fill up my cup
Mozoltov
Lets paint the town
Well shut it down
Lets burn the roof
And then well do it again

Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it
And do it and do it, let's live it up
And do it and do it and do it, do it, do it
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it.

Chorus

V. 2 Repeat V. 1, No joke.

V. 3 Which is really more like a bridge with key and tempo changes so that the listener can hurry up and get back to the meat of the songthe chorus.

Lets live it up
Lets do it
Here we come
Here we go
We gotta rock (Rock rock rock rock)
Easy come
Easy go
Now we on top (Top top top top)
Feel the shot
Rock it, dont stop (Stop stop stop stop) Um, yes please?
Round and round
Up and down
Around the clock

Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday
Friday, Saturday
Saturday to Sunday Nothing like randomly throwing the days of the week into a songthis is top notch lyric writing people.

Get get get get get with us
You know what we say
Party every day
Pa-pa-pa-party every day

Chorus (x2)

Conclusion:

Just because you put the word good in a song 32 hundred times that doesnt mean the song inherits the meaning of the repeated word.
