Hi, I was just wondering what a good song to annotate for english. We have to annotate and discover the purpose of the song, the audience, and the speaker.

Inb4 Dubstep.
 
im pretty biased about music i like personally, but if youve ever listened to every time i die, keith buckley (the lead singer) is one of my favorite lyricists ever. you can find meanings to their songs on songmeanings.com if you cant figure out the meaning behind it. id check out ebolarama, the new black, or buffalo 666 if you wanted to check them out. good luck.
 
Try anything by bright eyes or connor oberst. Very depressing lyrics and general awesomeness. Try one called ship in a bottle.

If you wanna challenge yourself, try this song. (clicky cause video probably doesn't work) If you can understand what they say half the time.

I think these might be the lyrics
 
boats n hoes, from stepbrothersthe meaning of the song is that there are two important things in life, boats and hoes
 
Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon. So fucking easy. It's about the Vietnam war, so just go from there.
 
Bitches Aint Shit

im not kidding. the song is about Eric Write (Easy E) and how hes a bitch and Dre is mad at him for it what what hes done. its actually incredible if you know the story. I watched an NWA documentary and it all made sense after that
 
Strawberry Fields is great.
No one i think is in my tree. I mean it must be high or low. That is you can't, you know, tune it but it's alright, that as I think it's not too bad.
Always, no, sometimes think it's me. But you know I know when it's a dream. I mean I think i know ah yes, but it's all wrong...that as I think I disagree.

 
Testify by Rage against the machine is about the gulf war and oil and shit. really easy to analyze, i did it 4 years ago in grade 8.
 
BWOMP BWOMP WOH WOH WOH VOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM WUHHHH WOMP WOMP DAAAWOWOW WOP WOP WOP...... reveals a very ambiguous theme that can a very upbeat/ serious tone
 
Oh, Anthony Kiedis wrote a song? I wonder what it's about....

Hi, My name is Anthony Kiedis and I used to do drugs but now i'm off drugs.

/end song.
 
Why easy? Go with something where you can be creative and put some effort into it.

Here's my pick:

 
if you wanna get down on these hairy balls

why don't you jump right in

it's a crotch party all up in here

why don't you suck on my jo-oh-ho-ho-ooon
