 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 nightThat tonight's gonna be a good nightThat tonight's gonna be a good, good nightA feeling that tonight's gonna be a good nightThat tonight's gonna be a good nightThat tonight's gonna be a good, good nightA feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good nightThat tonight's gonna be a good nightThat tonight's gonna be a good, good nightA feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good nightThat tonight's gonna be a good nightThat tonight's gonna be a good, good night V. 1 Tonights the night nightLets live it upI got my moneyLets spend it upGo out and smash itLike oh my goshJump off that sofaLets get get off I know that well have a ballIf we get downAnd go outAnd just loose it allI feel stressed outI wanna let it goLets go way out spaced outAnd losing all control Fill up my cupMozoltovLets paint the townWell shut it downLets burn the roofAnd then well do it again Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do itAnd do it and do it, let's live it upAnd do it and do it and do it, do it, do itLet'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 upLets do itHere we comeHere we goWe gotta rock (Rock rock rock rock)Easy comeEasy goNow we on top (Top top top top)Feel the shotRock it, dont stop (Stop stop stop stop) Um, yes please?Round and roundUp and downAround the clock Monday, Tuesday,Wednesday, and ThursdayFriday, SaturdaySaturday 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 usYou know what we sayParty every dayPa-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. |
