What Are They Saying?
I’ve always found misinterpreted song lyrics to be quite amusing. A person can hear a song countless times and get the lyrics wrong. It’s even more humorous when they sing along. That is until one day they stumble across the actual lyrics. Yet, before that happens, one could swear that was what they were saying.

The Return of the Thin White Mac: A Vigorous Defense of the Harddrive Full of Music
How are the format wars going this week? Well, streaming is down because of the whole Neil Young/Joni Mitchell thing, but it’s still massively dominant. The vinyl resurgence is hitting global supply chain hiccups. CDs are up, though it’s a testament to their decline that their rise may be down to one artist who old people can’t get enough of. And cassettes may be back, but it’s equally likely that some bored hipsters just convinced some naive journalists of a nonexistent trend. Join us next week when someone will be reporting that hampsterdance.com, and those cylinders that make mooing noises when you turn them upside down are the new preferred music formats.

Ten Folk Songs Everyone Should Know From Backwards to the Present Day!
Music is an important part of our daily lives. It can be background noise, it can be a way to release stress, or it can just make us feel happy. Music is also a way to connect with the past and the future. Folk songs are passed on from generation to generation and they provide us with a glimpse into what life was like long ago. This article will explore some folk songs everyone should know from backwards to present day! Folk Songs Backwards The first folk song on this list is "Auld Lang Syne" which is popular in the U.S. and Scotland. This song comes from a poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 that was set to the tune of a traditional Scottish tune. The lyrics to this song are about old friends who say goodbye at the New Year’s Eve party, but they hope they will meet again soon because they won't forget one another. Another example of a folk song backwards is "This Little Light Of Mine." This is an African-American spiritual originally sung by slaves. It tells of how we should not let our light be hidden and we should always try to do good even when it's hard or no one else will help us. The words "this little light of mine" refer to ourselves and all the goodness within us that can help others find their way out of darkness as well. Another folk song backwords is "Yankee Doodle." This patriotic American folksong dates back to colonial times and was originally used as military music during the French-Indian War in 1755-1763 due to its fast tempo urging troops onward. Today, it has evolved into a jaunty march that most Americans know well! Folk Songs from the 1920s to 1950s The 1920s through the 50s produced a lot of folk music. The music was more traditional and based on the old Appalachian folk songs. This means that they were usually a ballad or story of some sort, accompanied by a stringed instrument, like the banjo or fiddle. Folk songs in this time period weren't as popular as they are now but people still knew them. One example of this is John Jacob Niles’s "Go 'Way From My Window." It's a sad song about being spurned in love where he sings about how he'll go away from his window because he's afraid to see his lover come by and be rejected again. Another example of a folk song from this time period is "Shenandoah." It was written by George F. Root during the Civil War and it is about an Indian tribe called the Shenandoah Valley Indians who were forced to leave their home in Virginia due to white settlers coming into their territory and taking over their land. Folk Songs from 1960s to 1980s 1960s: “The House of the Rising Sun” 1969: “Get Together” 1970s: “Me and Bobby McGee” 1975: “Tonight, Tonight, I Celebrate My Love For You” 1976: “Love Will Keep Us Together” 1980s: “One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)” Folk Songs from 1990s to 2000s 1.
