Okay, so today is your music response/review in-class test.
You need to follow the patterning we've been discussing for these many days. Be thorough and try to imagine that you are being marked on your quality and depth. Because you are...
The first song that you will be listening to is More Than a Feeling, but Boston.
The second song, and you can feel free to COMPARE the two songs if you wish as part of your review, is Cornflake Girl, by Tori Amos.
Here are the lyrics:
Never was a cornflake girl
thought that was a good solution
hangin with the raisin girls
she's gone to the other side
givin us a yo heave ho
things are getting kind of gross
and I go at sleepy time
this is not really happening
you bet your life it is
Peel out the watchword just peel out the watchword
She knows what's going on
seems we got a cheaper feel now
all the sweeteaze are gone
gone to the other side
with my encyclopedia
they musta paid her a nice price
she's puttin on her string bean love
this is not really happening
you bet your life it is
Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl
and the man with the golden gun
thinks he knows so much
thinks he knows so much
Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl
So, why did I choose these songs?
I chose them because they are both very appealing, catchy songs that attracted audience, "made" each of the artists, and they are very different.
They are recorded 20 years apart. One is written by a man, the other by a woman. One is classic rock, the other not so clear.
Be thoughtful, take some chances, dig in and try to knock this out of the park.
Salud,
Mr. The Lobb
