Bad Music

I've been told that I have really weird taste in music. To start off, let it be known that "Done Wrong" by Vermillion Lies is currently playing on my last.fm and I'm rocking out in my cubical at work. I love music of many different flavors. If you can spur emotion in me, or make me feel like I should be dancing, or spark a memory, or just do something I tend to fall head over heals in love with your sound. Lyrics are a totally different subject. There have been many songs that I have hated when I initially heard them, but after forcing myself to actually listen to the lyrics I feel myself melting on the inside and letting those words become a part of my soul. Weezer is one of those bands. I really didn't like their sound and the whining of the lead singer just about drove me up the wall, until one day I sat down and listened to the randomness of their lyrics and knew I had been wrong. There are, however, other songs that the lyrics are absolutely horrifyingly terrible, but I love them anyway, because they make me want to move, or dance, or make love, or anything. For example.....there is a song called "Chicken with it's head cut off." Lyrically this has to be absolutely the worst song in existence....but I love it. The sound, the way it makes me feel. I love it. Music just makes me happy....need I say more?
