What are your thoughts on the use of "Yeah" in lyrics ? I think James Hetfield pulls it off very well live.

Like "Marconi", "Plays", "The", and "Mamba".

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2000 Location: Northern VA | | One of my favorite songs is a duet called "Yeah! Oh, Yeah!" by the Magnetic Fields. Check it out (male voice in italics): Quote:
Are you out of love with me?
Are you longing to be free?
Do I drive you up a tree?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Do I drive you up the wall?
Do you dread every phone call?
Can you not stand me at all?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Though I need you more than air
is it true you just don't care?
Are you having an affair?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
When we met I thought money was everything
so I let you buy the house, the cars, the ring
but I can't take your perpetual whining
and you can't sing
I thought if we lived apart
we could made a brand-new start
Do you want to break my heart?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
I've enjoyed making you miserable for years
found peace of mind in playing on your fears
How I loved to catch your gold and silver tears,
but now my dear...
What a dark and dreary life!
Are you reaching for a knife?
Could you really kill your wife?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Oh, I die, I die, I die!
So it's over, you and I
Was my whole life just a lie?
Yeah! Oh, yeah! | |

I'm actually a big fan of "Hey" too. Cake always knows when to throw a good one in.
Rhythmic focused vocal lines tend to keep my merry boat afloat.
