[Delirium-Zer0]

I've learned to just never listen to the lyrics of english-language pop songs anymore. The mean IQ in this country has dropped considerably over the last two decades or so and the quality of lyrics has diminished along with it. Not like you can understand what they're saying half the time anyway. But if I paid attention to the lyrics of the songs I'm hearing at work all day, I'd probably end up in a straitjacket screaming about how lyricists have gone "dee dee dee". When you get past the terrible lyrics, alot of recent US pop songs are actually pretty well-done. The beats & sounds in "SexyBack" are great, IMHO. But I can't STAND the lyrics.

And in defense of Rascal Flatts, "Life is a Highway" IS a cover song that the makers of Cars commissioned them to do (and it's better than the Tom Cochrane original, by ALOT). Their original material is very nice, and the guy can seriously sing.
