The lyrics or the music?

[yvr girl]

What draws you to a song?

[Deja Q]

1. The music.

[fishwax]

2. some combination of the two

or one or the other, depending on the song :)

[hfojvt]

3. Lyrics

there are many catchy little tunes that I despise because of their lyrical content.

[Lady Freedom]

13. What about the badonkadonk?

What good is it if you can't shake your booty?

[johnnie]

4. Being a lyricist

It's the lyrics, always the lyrics.

[Cats Against Frist]

5. Music. Music with lyrics is pointless.

[ContraBass Black]

6. Both.

If either one is crap, I'm not interested.

[ghostsofgiants]

7. A little from column A, a little from column B...

Though bad music is more of a deal breaker than bad lyrics, usually.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear yvr girl......

Generally the music.....but the lyrics matter as well....

But FIRST comes the music!

If the tune doesn't catch my interest, then the lyrics don't matter.....

[Lady Freedom]

14. yvr girl trust me!

it the Badonkadonk!

[Lady Freedom]

15. DUPE

it's the Badonkadonk!

[LaraMN]

9. The music will make me listen, the lyrics will make me love it.

or hate it. or feel ho-hum about it.

[Lady Freedom]

10. It has got to have that Badonkadonk!

The song's got to have it going on like Donkey Kong!

[eyepaddle]

11. MUSIC

(Yes, I meant all caps for emphasis)

about 2/3's of the stuff I listen to is instrumental. Plus, lyrically it's just about all been covered--how many more paens to love lost do we really need anyway?

[supernova]

12. Lyrics and melody

But always lyrics first. I just have know that the singer has something worthwhile to say.

[tjdee]

16. Lyrics, although many a time the lyrics are good but the song sucks.

And there are always the lyricly kindergarden songs that rock anyway.

I'd say it's about 60/40 for me.
