However, many songs that are actually quite popular lack complexity in lyrics, chord structure, and in my opinion taste in general. A great  example of that which I couldn't use because it was outside of allotted time frame was "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" by Trace Adkins. I'll give it credit for being catchy but the chorus is quite atrocious using nonsensical phrases and made up words to convey an objectifying message about how women look. ]]> 2018-03-25 04:34:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathanmiller2/9adai4xqsbi2/wish/245788285 jonathanmiller2 https://padlet.com/jonathanmiller2/9adai4xqsbi2/wish/245788521 2018-03-25 04:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathanmiller2/9adai4xqsbi2/wish/245788521 jonathanmiller2 https://padlet.com/jonathanmiller2/9adai4xqsbi2/wish/245789604 2018-03-25 05:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathanmiller2/9adai4xqsbi2/wish/245789604 jonathanmiller2 https://padlet.com/jonathanmiller2/9adai4xqsbi2/wish/245789607 2018-03-25 05:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathanmiller2/9adai4xqsbi2/wish/245789607 Honkey Tonk Badonkadonk Chorus jonathanmiller2 https://padlet.com/jonathanmiller2/9adai4xqsbi2/wish/245789659 Honky tonk badonkadonk
Keepin' perfect rhythm make you want to swing along
Got it goin' on like Donkey Kong
And ooh well shut my mouth, slap your grandma
There ought to be a law, get the sheriff on the phone
Lord have mercy how'd she even get them britches on
With that honky tonk badonkadonk]]> 2018-03-25 05:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathanmiller2/9adai4xqsbi2/wish/245789659 Boys 'Round Here Chorus jonathanmiller2 https://padlet.com/jonathanmiller2/9adai4xqsbi2/wish/245789697 Yeah the boys 'round here
Drinking that ice cold beer
Talkin' 'bout girls, talkin' 'bout trucks
Runnin' them red dirt roads out, kicking up dust
The boys 'round here
Sending up a prayer to the man upstairs
Backwoods legit, don't take no sh*t
Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit
Aw heck
Red red red red red red red red red red redneck

It's not that those messages are bad but I personally do not connect with them very well.]]> 2018-03-25 05:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathanmiller2/9adai4xqsbi2/wish/245789779
