1 year agoMy wife is a music nerd, so I asked her this question. Her answer: Summer Nights from “Grease”. The entire song is perfect for what it is, except for the very last word. John Travolta switches to his falsetto range to sing the word “nights” in a style that reminds me of the Bee Gees, and it just doesn’t fit with all the vocals that came before it. It’s literally a sour note to end what’s otherwise a perfectly good song.
As the article points out, the original lyric from American Idiot is, “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda.” They changed it to, “I’m not a part of a MAGA agenda.”
…Can this even be considered a significant change? It’s more like a modernization of the original language. Whose agenda did they think Green Day was previously referring-- oh, right. They probably didn’t do any research, did they? It’s just manufactured outrage, so they can pretend that the left is just as vile as they are.
