Gohan 16,396 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 1. Repetitive, Repetitive, Repetitive Lyrics. He sings, “Girls, hit your hallelujah,” 6 times in the song, in 2 sets of 3. There’s “‘Cause uptown funk gon’ give it to ya” 6 times, in 2 sets of 3 again. He sings, “I’m too hot (hot damn),” 8 times, in 2 sets of 4. “Don’t believe me? Just watch,” happens 18 times all over the place. And the most repetitive lyric of all: “Uptown Funk You Up.” This lyric could be one of my reason’s all by itself. Its massacre spreads over this song 23 times! Repetition counts for 61% of the lines in this song, and 23% is just “Uptown Funk You Up.” The song is lyrically boring and the words are uninspired and uninspiring. 2. Product Placement. In the song, Mars claims to be “moother than a fresh jar of Skippy.” Being a pop star wasn’t enough for Bruno. He’s now a peanut butter salesman. What’s next? “But for you, baby, I can be extra crunchy”? Someone needs to do a study to find out how much narcissism peanut butter references can support. 3. “Almost” Swearing. Obviously, “Uptown Funk You Up” is supposed to sound like “Uptown F**k You Up.” When I first heard the song, that’s what I thought it was. I know it’s supposed to be clever, but, I think it’s weird and immature… He used “d**n” and “b***h” already. But, he wants to keep the song from getting rated “Explicit” apparently. 4. “I’m So So So So So So So Cool.” The entire song is an ode to how cool Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars are. I mean, they’re a little cool, sure, and, yeah, they’re a little narcissistic. But this song is weirdly self-affirming and narcissistic. Allow me to summarize the stanzas in the song to show what I mean: Verse 1: “I look good, and I’m writing this song for all you women who I find attractive too.” Pre-Chorus: “I’m hot. Really, really, really, really, REALLY hot.” Chorus: “Girls, get ready. The song is going to be great.” Verse 2: “I’m going to spend a lot of money! I’m really cool, and I like peanut butter.” Pre-Chorus 2: “I’m still hot. Really, really, really, REALLY, REALLY hot!” Bridge: “I’m hot plus sexy now too! You might be sexy too, so let’s be sexy together because this music’s going to drive you crazy.” Outro (as if it’s necessary…): “Uptown funk you up.” A.K.A. “You will like my music.” [Does it sound like hypnosis to anyone else?] Do you really want LG5 to sound like this?

Dayman 6,167 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Almost all pop music is repetitive - that's what makes it catchy. Poker Face and Bad Romance are no better or worse in this regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
