Imagine this:
You're driving down the road, enjoying the lovely scenic beauty of the mountains with your window down just enough to tussle your hair softly by a cool, comforting breeze and the radio playing a groovy little number on your radio. You're relaxed, no one is driving like an ass and you're able to cruise on down the road. Just then your favorite hip-hop song comes on and you crank up the volume (for those of you anti-hip hoppers out there, just humor me here).
Maybe it's Lady Gaga's new tune and you're singing away when the best verse comes on..."there's only three men I'ma serve all my life and that's my daddy, Colorado and Jesus Christ..." Wait... Colorado? What would Lady Gaga be doing dedicating herself to Colorado? Nothing, that's what. And here you thought the original lyrics were "Nebraska" for some dude from that state.
What is up with this new, irritating trend in music on the radio stations? It seems like every song that remotely hints at a person or place gets changed by the local DJ's to fit their station, names or location. And most of the time it doesn't even sound good - it's a flat, dubbed statement that hiccups the flow of your groove.
Ugh. I'm so over it. Just leave the songs alone already so I don't get stuck trying to figure out why they did that to a perfectly good tune and then spend the rest of it desperately grasping for what the original lyrics were.
