>> People listen to the lyrics on Immigrant Song?! <<
The refrain is just so damned easy to pick up. “Aaa-AAAH-aaaaaaaah-AH!”
It is fun to sing along with, but I don’t consider singing along to be listening. I can sing along with a ton of songs I don’t actually know the lyrics of. My brain has memorized the sounds, but not as words really. I blame 70s rock and roll. There was a real streak of great songs that make no damn sense. Immigrant Song, Aja, pretty much anything by Bernie Taupin, the entire Yes catalog. Sure sound great. No idea what they mean.
Back in my bad ol’ days, I used to go to a dive called The Old Mill, which is actually what it was, and one night, the wheel literally fell off, taking out the wall and dumping patrons into the frozen creek.
Every night I went there, no matter which band was playing or what time I got there, Immigrant Song was starting up.
On a similar note, when I go to my GP every month, “Crazy Train” usually greets me.
