I admit I listened to it for the first time yesterday (and I still haven't watched the Psy Gangnam Style YT in its entirety), but I already had heard about the backstory. If you try to ignore the visuals and the lyrics, you will notice that 1. The music is VERY similar to the formulaic crap we hear on radio, and I am sure it is on purpose. 2. Some of the favorite effects used in modern music were used in an funny way - for example the Mo-o-o-rse, Ho-o-o-rse part. 3. Other than in most radio hits, the guys have pretty strong voices. 4. They intended it to be crap, they knew it was crap, and it still got 200+ million views, which points a finger at the industry and the audience. "See, we made crap, and you liked it like all the other crap out there. Even with all the stupid lyrics and ridiculous visuals". In that context, it is a great parody. I both hated the (intentionally) crappy parts of it and loved its parody qualities. Slightly related - German ATopers might remember the case where a host of a comedy TV show represented Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest with a nonsense song written in a more or less invented language and placed 5th back in 2000. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadde_hadde_dudde_da%3FIntentional crap often scores high. That probably explains why the industry keeps on producing crap (intentionally or not), and will-i-am is a star but Adam isn't (yet). ITA, kryptoman! And lmao at your last sentence! By the way, I was curious, so I checked to see how many hits Gangnam Style has and... it's getting close to TWO BILLION!!!! 1,819,720,429  - ![]() actually I don't see much difference between the Fox song and Roar for instance to be frank... I am not sure why people are unhappy about covering one and happy about covering the other... Adam might never be a star of that caliber, only because he is too good ....sadly enough... seoulmate - indeed...funny .... |

Thanks for the background of The Fox song. I listened again and still cannot understand how this is a parody of club music... I admit I listened to it for the first time yesterday (and I still haven't watched the Psy Gangnam Style YT in its entirety), but I already had heard about the backstory. If you try to ignore the visuals and the lyrics, you will notice that 1. The music is VERY similar to the formulaic crap we hear on radio, and I am sure it is on purpose. 2.

That probably explains why the industry keeps on producing crap (intentionally or not), and will-i-am is a star but Adam isn't (yet). I think that we forgot about one, important thing when we are criticizing all that funny, crap music - mostly people don't want big, life changing moments from music (anyway not all the time). They want something funny and easy, something they can dance to, something idiotic and relaxing, something completely without meaning. They want entertainment. And the primary purpose of the music since the dawn of humanity is to make people happy, not to make big artistic impression. There were days on this planet when music, painting, sculpture, photography, fashion, films, design was just entertainment not art. Every artist IMO sholud remember about that. Once we all were just mere craftsmen. |
