"Lyrics have also become much more self-obsessed, with words such as “me” or “mine” becoming much more popular."
George Harrison was ahead of his time, though his use of the words I, me, and mine are the opposite of today's trends.

The majority of the Moody Blues tunes consist of two or three lyric sentences and a chorus, then repeated.

Having played in a few praise and worship bands, I can't tell you how funny that is. |

Bad lyrics have always been with us. Sometimes, they are even perfectly appropriate.
I am more bothered by what is now considered acceptable for general public broadcast and consumption. The popular music airwaves have become quite crude.

"Ooh ee, ooh ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang" Damn, missed an "ah." It's been a few years since I heard it. Should have Googled the lyrics. |
