following my mellow, meditative choice of listening last weekend, I promised BunKaryudo something a bit more toe-tapping this week . . .
and if that didn’t get you toe-tapping, perhaps this will . . .

Sorry Duncan, I’m… I’m trying my best to… to comment, but it’s… it’s not easy with… with my feet tapping this much.
Great stuff! 🙂

I quite enjoyed that, once I’d hooked up the sound equipment — you know, the kind scientists use to let you hear the lowest frequencies of humpback whales singing.

Well, it’s very catchy. They could be singing about anything, though, so I hope it’s nothing too scandalous.

This one’s good too. As you mentioned, it’s a great foot-tapping instrumental. As to the previous songs, I really don’t mind not understanding the lyrics. With half the stuff my children listen to, understanding the lyrics perfectly is by far the greater burden. 🙂

No, they’re not really into rap, just pretty much straight pop songs, so my main problem with the lyrics isn’t the amount of bad language in them so much as their utter banality. I suppose it has always been like that, though. When I think about some of the stuff I listened to when I still cared about charts and things, it was hardly Shakespeare set to music.

I remember a foreign friend of mine who told me that the reason she first began learning English was that she wanted to understand what the lyrics of songs by the Beatles were all about. She was a bit disappointed to find that “I Want to Hold Your Hand” or whatever were not quite as profound as she’d hoped.

Yes, the Beatles weren’t renowned for lyricising The Workers Control the Means of Production, or The Struggle of the Urban Proletariat.
Fortunately.
