I'll go a bit further. It's not just that the lyrics are overwritten, but more often than not, they're redundant. I hear lyricists filling out the melody with extra words that complete a cliche or restate what's already been said.
Yes. And, four words in response to that - Michael. In. The. Bathroom. (That could have so easily been a 32-bar-ish cute little moment, but that as it is really overstays its welcome in spades. Redundant, tedious, and ultimately a one-joke song that tries way too hard to be more than that.) |
