Music Analysis
Sh' Boom by The Chords
Vocals/Instrumentation: Tenor I and II, Bass, and Baritone, Bass (strings), Drum set with brushes (snare), and guitar, saxophone either alto or tenor, cymbal roll at the end.
Mood: Hopeful and romantic
Tempo: mid-tempo
Lyrics: Understandable, rhyme, but at times the lyrics were random words like the ending "doo doo doo doo sh' boom", the writer is trying to convey that life could be a dream if the two people could be together forever, the lyrics don't really read like poetry.
Sounds Like:
Hound Dog by Elvis Presley
Vocals/Instrumentation: Lead singer (Elvis. . . duh), guitar, bass (string), drum set, claps (hand claps), backup vocals, and a cymbal crash at the end
Mood: upset and a little manic
Tempo: In between a fast tempo and a mid- tempo
Lyrics: Hard to understand at times, but overall easy to understand. Rhymes only two words so not really any rhyming at all. The writer is trying to convey that you ain't nothing, but a hound dog and you ain't no friend of mine since you didn't catch a rabbit. There isn't a clear story and I guess it could read like a poem.
Sounds Like:
Tutti Frutti by Little Richard
Vocals/Instrumentation: Lead Singer, Saxophones, drum set, hand claps, and piano
Mood: Lovin' and upbeat
Tempo: Between fast and mid-tempo
Lyrics: Understandable, but sometime are nonsense words. They rhyme and show that the writer is trying to convey that he's got some women and they make him feel different ways. Not really a story and no effective images. Could be a poem but it would sound weird.
Sounds Like:
Great Balls Of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis
Vocals/Instrumentation: piano, lead singer, drum set, bass guitar
Mood: Romantic, excited, and full of energy
Tempo: Fast
Lyrics: Understandable if you are listening closely, and the writer is trying to say how this woman makes him feel and it is overwhelming and feels like a great ball of fire.
Sounds Like:
Earth Angel by The Penguins
Vocals/Instrumentation: Piano, drum set, back-up singers, lead singer, guitar, and bass (either string or singer
Mood: Romantic, calm, and peaceful
Tempo: Slow and laid back
Lyrics: The lyrics read like poetry, are understandable, convey how the guy feels about a girl and how he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Also, there is a story involved of how he saw her, fell in love, and now wishes to be with only her forever.
Sounds Like: A typical love song from the fifties
Don't be Cruel by Elvis Presley
Vocals/Instrumentation: Bass (string), drum set, lead singer (Elvis of course), Back-up singers
Mood: Sorry, Hurt, and Loving
Tempo: Mid-Tempo and Laid Back
Lyrics: Understandable? Yes. Rhyme? Yes. Understand what the writer is trying to convey? He is hurt that his "baby" is mad at him for something he did and he tries to show how much he loves her. Clear story/narrative? Not really, but he asks her to get back together with him. Most effective images? That he don't want no other love and it is only his baby that he is thinking of. Read like poetry? I guess.
Sounds Like: A desperate guy who doesn't know what he did to get his girl mad at him and he just wants to be back together like nothing happened.
