Listening Blog 9
For this week's blog I choose the song Play that Funky Music. I chose this song because I LOVE it. I have always liked this song even as a small child. While this song might not have the most inspirational lyrics they are still good and iconic. My personal favorite part is when they say play that funky music white boy. I think it is so funny because I think it is funny when people mock white people music. And I am white and I think it is so funny. But really, this song is so fun and people of all ages like listening to it. It is super jazzy and funky clearly. I like the guys voice it's super unique and fun. The music in the back is super catchy and this song will always get in my head. I think this song emulates 70's music sound. The beginning with that weird sound gets everyone's attention. This song is so great and I like how it was about roasting white boys. This is one of the most catchy and fun songs and everyone should like this song. If you turn this on in the car everyone will sing along and those are the best types of songs. I love songs everyone can just have fun singing to. ALSO this song was written by a bunch of white boys which makes it even funnier. I appreciate people who can mock themselves.
I absolutely love the bass at the beginning and the cow bell is so funny to listen to. All of the instruments they chose were perfect for this song. The chorus is also super catchy like you said. It definitely emulates 70s music sound because it was released in 1976. The electric guitar tickles a part of my brain that can only think of late 90s music and maybe early 2000s. I think this era of music still affects how music is written today. Great Post!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I love your comments here! It's definitely a very humorous song and I also love that the people who made it are poking fun at themselves. Very catchy song, I might just go listen to it right now. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour blog definitely put a smile on my face. When I read the name of the song it immediately made me think of my childhood. My dad would play this song and I remember being in my car seat just laughing and dancing. This song is definitely one of the best songs from this decade.
ReplyDeleteI have also known this song since I was a child and I have always enjoyed the chorus as well. This is a type of song that contains interesting beats that you just don’t hear all the time, so it’s interesting that it is so widely known. I agree with your statement about how these funky beats really emulate the sound of the ’70s. I think it’s a powerful attribute of the song because it can take you to that time.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this song. I think it has some really cool and interesting elements. I have listened to this song for a long time as well. I have memories my dad playing this for me and just jamming in the car. I love the whole beat and essence of the song.
