Good Song: I Don’t Wanna Fight by Tina Turner
Bad Lyrics: A hit from Tina’s What’s Love Got to Do With It that is a little confusing.
There’s a pale moon in the sky
The kind you make your wishes on
Are you saying we wish on the moon or the sky? Or is it the paleness? Regardless, I wish on stars.
Like the light in your eyes
The one I built my dreams upon
Eye-light is known to be one of the most stable foundations for dream construction.
It’s not there any longer
Something happened somewhere
I’m glad we can be specific.
I hear a whisper in the air
It simply doesn’t bother me
Well, it is only a whisper, Tina.

Music is the joy of joys, but sometimes, words can get in the way. Be it a weak metaphor, a forced rhyme, or just pure nonsense - lyrics can go wrong a hundred ways. It won't stop us from loving a song, but it might give us pause to say, "Wait... what?""And, as I say, 70% is how you look, 20% is how you sound, only 10% is what you say." -Eddie Izzard
