Hey Mr. DJ keep playing that song for me

The following will be a rant; consider yourself now fairly warned.

Do you know what irks me? Summer hits. I'm talking those catchy tunes that are so popular that you hear them about 6 times an hour on every station and there is a techno version available before you can say beans. There always seems to be an abundance of them come summertime.

Now, I'll admit it. I probably like these songs the first time I hear them. It's probably because they have this catchy beat that makes me wanna shake my groove thang. I like to dance. Why not? Dancing puts our hearts in motion.

BUT, after the second or third time, or after listening to the lyrics and later having to see them lifeless and written in someone's facebook status or on someone's edited photo it becomes apparent how truly idotic and poorly written they are.

Sigh. Why must poorly written and easily forgotten songs be overplayed into the ground? There's so many good songs out there, so many good bands. Mind you, I almost don't want to share the music I love because I'm nearly certain if those artists were played 7 times a day and everyone and their mother posted the lyrics on their facebook I don't know if I'd feel the same amount of ownership or connection I have.

So I guess the (music) world is the way it is for a reason, and I shouldn't be so angry. But seriously people, think before you post the lyrics. It sounds stupid.
