Abstrak: lagu Sh-Boom karya Crew Cuts (musisi kulit hitam) yang awalnya bekemudian berubah menjadi genre pop oleh musisi kulit puith. Lagu Shorisinal dipublikasikan pada 19 Juni 1954 dan versi cover-nya munculPada 10 Juli 1954 lagu Sh-Boom masuk dalam daftar lagu-lagu pop hitahun kemudian versi cover ini direkam dan dipublikasikan sebagai lagoleh musisi kulit putih. Pada masa itu sudah menjadi hal yang lumrah musisi kulit hitam di-cover oleh musisi kulit putih. Sindrom cover versaja disebabkan oleh permasalahan rasisme, melainkan juga karena pantara label rekaman keduanya. Sementara itu, sejarah versi cover di Indonesia ditulis oleh Wa216) dalam Modern Noise, Fluid Genres: Popular Music in Indonesia, 1 Penelitian ini membahas perubahan identitas musik pop Indonesia yang dipublikasikan melalui situs YouTube. Lagu yang diteliti adalah Akad dari Payung Teduh yang di-cover oleh Mas Paijo dan Pamit dari Tulus yang di-cover oleh Sintesa Vocal Play. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan transit dan transisi dengan kajian tekstual dan kontekstual pada identitas kedua lagu tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini ialah untuk menemukan bagaimana identitas musik (lagu) beserta musisinya mengalami perubahan; dari versi orisinal menjadi versi cover. Dalam penelitian ini dipahami bahwa versi cover merupakan bentuk pembaruan musikal. Penjelasan mengenai perubahan identitas dalam kedua versi ini dibahas pada dua substansi. Pertama, narasi tentang peran teknologi dalam pembaruan musikal; kedua, uraian tentang perubahan identitas dalam narasi musikal yang meliputi lirik lagu, format lagu, instrumentasi, video musik berserta musisinya. Dengan demikian, perubahan identitas yang ditelaah dalam penelitian ini meliputi dua versi lagu: orisinal dan cover dengan dua narasi yang berbeda. Abstract: contohnya: Band Tor yang meng-cover lagu-lagu Jimi Hendrix, Rastafarlagu-lagu Bob Marley kemudian T-Five meng-cover lagu-lagu Korn and saat itu versi cover diciptakan bukan hanya dari segi komposisi musiknyjuga pada aksi panggungnya. Hingga kini versi cover semakin berkembangdiunggah melalui situs YouTube. Fenomena cover version yang tidak terlepas dari penggunaan tmengantarkan pada pembahasan bagaimana teknologi dan seni (musik)ini diuraikan oleh Yangni (2016: 4-5) bahwa kaitan antara seni dan teknolsejarah relasi keduanya tampak terpisah, namun secara esensial keduany Merunut mundur pada zaman Yunani, tidak ada pemisahan sama sekaliteknologi. Keduanya sama dan satu dilakukan oleh tiap individu dalam This research discusses changing identity of Indonesian pop music’s that was published on YouTube. Spesifically, there are two song’s (consist of original version and cover version) discussed here: firstly, Akad original version by Payung Teduh and cover version by Mas Paijo; secondly, Pamit original version by Tulus and cover version by Sintesa Vocal Play. This research applies transit and transition approach in which the signs in textual and contextual data are examined in their identity. The aim of this research is to find out how music and musician identity are represented in their song’s include in cover version. This research shows that cover version is defined as music renewal of the whole music and musician narration. Description about changing identity in both version (original and cover) was observed in two subject. Firstly, narration about technology involvement in music renewal and secondly, description about changing identity in musical narration (including in song lyrics, song forms, instrumentation, music video and the musician). It can also be said that changing identity refers to both version (original and cover) with two different descriptions.

Writing on music video has had two distinctive moments in its brief history. The first wave of treatments tended to come from the culture surrounding rock music and from those who were primarily interested in music video as something which produced effects on that music. Here, two claims were most common, and generally expressed in the terms and the contexts of rock journalism:(1) that music video had made ‘image’ more important than the experience of music itself, with effects which were to be feared (for example, the potential difficulties for artists with poor ‘images’, the risk that theatricality and spectacle would take precedence over intrinsically ‘musical’ values, etc.);(2) that music video would result in a diminishing of the interpretative liberty of the individual music listener, who would now have visual or narrative interpretations of song lyrics imposed on him/her, in what would amount to a semantic and affective impoverishment of the popular music experience.

In the paper I analyse the ways in which a city, urbanism, city space and people living in urban environment are portrayed in Polish popular music, especially in the songs of Polish alternative bands of the 80. inthe 20th century. In popular music, the city is pictured in several ways, among which the most important is the use of words as song lyrics that illustrate urban way of life. The city should be treated as an immanent part of the rock music mythology present in the songs and in the names of bands. In the case of Polish alternative rock music of the 80.such elements are found in songs of such artists as Lech Janerka, Variete, Siekiera, Dezerter, Deuter, AyaRL. The visions of urbanism taken from their songs are the exemplifications used in the paper.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to quantify and qualify the commercials in the Super Bowl. Design/methodology/approach This study is a content analysis of the placement of popular music in Super Bowl advertisements over a ten-year period (2005-2014). Findings More than a quarter of the commercials analyzed contained popular music. Although the use of popular music in commercials vacillated from year to year, popular music was most often observed in the product category of beverages; the music treatment most often used was original vocals; and song lyrics were most often relevant to the narrative of the commercial, rather than the brand. Originality/value This study extends the growing body of Super Bowl advertising research to popular music in commercials and provides a benchmark for all future research in this area.

Song lyrics are rich in meaning. In recent years, the lyrical content of popular songs has been used as an index of shifting norms, affect, and values at the cultural level. One remarkable, recently-uncovered trend is that successful pop songs have increasingly simple lyrics. Why? We test the idea that increasing lyrical simplicity is linked to a widening array of novel song choices. To test this Cultural Compression Hypothesis (CCH), we examined six decades of popular music (N = 14,661 songs). The number of novel song choices predicted greater lyrical simplicity of successful songs. This relationship was robust, holding when controlling for critical ecological and demographic factors and also when using a variety of approaches to account for the potentially confounding influence of temporal autocorrelation. The present data provide the first time series evidence that real-world cultural transmission may depend on the amount of novel choices in the information landscape.

Song lyrics are rich in meaning. In recent years, the lyrical content of popular songs has been used as an index of culture’s shifting norms, affect, and values. One particular, newly uncovered, trend is that lyrics of popular songs have become increasingly simple over time. Why might this be? Here, we test the idea that increasing lyrical simplicity is accompanied by a widening array of novel song choices. We do so by using six decades (1958–2016) of popular music in the United States (N = 14,661 songs), controlling for multiple well-studied ecological and cultural factors plausibly linked to shifts in lyrical simplicity (e.g., resource availability, pathogen prevalence, rising individualism). In years when more novel song choices were produced, the average lyrical simplicity of the songs entering U.S. billboard charts was greater. This cross-temporal relationship was robust when controlling for a range of cultural and ecological factors and employing multiverse analyses to control for potentially confounding influence of temporal autocorrelation. Finally, simpler songs entering the charts were more successful, reaching higher chart positions, especially in years when more novel songs were produced. The present results suggest that cultural transmission depends on the amount of novel choices in the information landscape.

Scholars have long recognized the complexities of song personas in popular music. Less well recognized is the way that the deployment of pronouns in pop song lyrics can create sudden shifts in the various currents of musical meaning. Although songs often commit to a single point of view, it is quite common for songs to feature complex shifts in discourse, sometimes aligned with important changes in the music. This paper addresses an especially important pattern, a shift from distance to intimacy.

Although it has been established that sexual content is common in popular music, the extent to which this content references cheating behaviors is unclear. Given the prevalence of infidelity among Americans, it is important to examine how infidelity is portrayed in media targeted to young adult listeners. To explore these portrayals, we conducted a content analysis of the 1,500 most popular pop, hip-hop, and country songs in the United States over a 25-year period examining the frequency and nature of infidelity in music. Findings revealed that infidelity was discussed in approximately 15% of popular music, and was most frequently discussed in hip-hop songs. Both negative and positive consequences to infidelity were depicted, and were most often accompanied by a nonchalant emotional tone. Gender portrayals of song characters were consistent with previous research. Implications for young listeners in the context of social relationships are discussed.

Abstract Tra-la-Lyrics is a system that generates song lyrics automatically. In its original version, the main focus was to produce text where stresses matched the rhythm of given melodies. There were no concerns on whether the text made sense or if the selected words shared some kind of semantic association. In this article, we describe the development of a new version of Tra-la-Lyrics, where text is generated on a semantic domain, defined by one or more seed words. This effort involved the integration of the original rhythm module of Tra-la-Lyrics in PoeTryMe, a generic platform that generates poetry with semantically coherent sentences. To measure our progress, the rhythm, the rhymes, and the semantic coherence in lyrics produced by the original Tra-la-Lyrics were analysed and compared with lyrics produced by the new instantiation of this system, dubbed Tra-la-Lyrics 2.0. The analysis showed that, in the lyrics by the new system, words have higher semantic association among them and with the given seeds, while the rhythm is still matched and rhymes are present. The previous analysis was complemented with a crowdsourced evaluation, where contributors answered a survey about relevant features of lyrics produced by the previous and the current versions of Tra-la-Lyrics. Though tight, the survey results confirmed the improvements of the lyrics by Tra-la-Lyrics 2.0.

Popular music has been changing significantly over the years, revealing clear, audible differences when compared with songs written in other eras. A pop music composition is normally made of two parts—the tune and the lyrics. Here we use a digital humanities and data science approach to examine how lyrics changed between the 1950’s and the more recent years, and apply quantitative analysis to measure these changes. To identify possible differences, we analyzed the sentiments expressed in the songs of the Billboard Hot 100, which reflects the preferences of popular music listeners and fans in each year. Automatic sentiment analysis of 6,150 Billboard 100 songs covering all the years from 1951 through 2016 shows clear and statistically significant changes in sentiments expressed through the lyrics of popular music, generally towards a more negative tone. The results show that anger, disgust, fear, sadness, and conscientiousness have increased significantly, while joy, confidence, and openness expressed in pop song lyrics have declined.

Björk's 2004 album Medúlla offers listeners radical and new combinations of vocal sounds in pop music. The album features emergent processes ranging from textural emergence, as in standard pop-rock formulas for song introductions, to less common emergent and transformative processes involving metrical, tonal, motivic and phrasal structure. When such processes involving different parameters are combined, other (non-emergent) processes recede to the background, and the effect of emergence assumes a fundamental role over the course of the composition as a whole. Recognizing emergent processes opens up connections with song lyrics and possibly also extra-musical narratives which can enrich our analytical understanding and ultimately our listening experiences of these songs. Furthermore, Medúlla models ways in which other contemporary songwriters could develop sophisticated emergent processes that disturb conventional understandings of popular music as simplistic and formulaic.
