And now for a humorous song...

This song makes me giggle every time I hear it. Below is the song Taylor the Latte Boy performed by Kristin Chenoweth.

My favorite part of this song is the story behind it. The original writer of this song, Marcy Heisler, wrote this song to prove that you could write a song about anything. She chose Taylor, a barista at Starbuck's, who she had been misinterpreting signs that he loved her. This led to her being obsessed with him, and he eventually put a restraining order on her. How romantic :)

The Story of Lolita

Awesome right?? So a brief summary of Lolita. This trick right here is a minor and basically falls for her step dad. Gross, right? And he becomes obsessed with her, and after her mother's death, they go on a road trip all over. She gets sick and he drops her off at a hospital where another man picks her up. This crazy girl ends up going through a few guys (refer to spark notes for details) and gets pregnant and asks her step dad for money. She dies during birth. Crazy, dark story but yet super intriguing.

So, The Veronicas, with their song Lolita, is a similarity on how their managers used to treat them from their first label. Trying to get with them and trying to make bribes for record deals (hence their hiatus for a few years). Interesting stuff, however, I felt the music video had nothing to do with either of these meanings.

Lolita - The Veronicas (Links)

Below is a link to view the lyrics, as well as to the music video. The music video is interesting and entertaining, but it was different then how I would imagine it. My post about the lyrics and music video will be posted up tomorrow.

Creative Writing Blog

Hi! My name is Tanner. This is my blog for my Creative Writing class.

So the first post I am going to make on my blog is to give a summary of what my blog will be about. I will be posting songs, along with their music videos (if there is one) and lyrics, and giving a summary of what the song is about, how it was interpreted, and the artists' personal meaning for that song.

I already have a few songs I've been thinking of, so I am kind of excited to get this blog going. By the end of this week, I will have another post with a song. I know the anticipation is killer so I will give a spoiler. The group I'll be posting a song of is The Veronicas.
