Just curious, what would you consider lyrics and what would you consider sound bites. I am wondering, because a few other songs that I considered had lyrics that I did for the wiki, such as [[Come On]], could be considered sound bites.

Well, I think of it this way: lyrics are words in a song spoken or sang specifically for that song, sound bites are snippets of words or interjections that usually <i>don't carry any meaning whatsoever</i> and are used simply for effect. If you want to see lyrics that barely count as true lyrics, see [[Gigadelic|gigadelic]] and [[Second Heaven]], anything significantly more mindless than those are usually considered sound bites. | |||
My general rule that I just made up right now is that if every single word in a song isn't identified or explained, it is not ready to have a lyrics section in the article. [[Come On]] appears to be okay because it is completely decoded; [[FIRE FIRE]] was not okay because all we had was "Somebody Scream" which is only one of many samples in the song. --([[User:Ockham17|Ockham17]] 15:36, 30 July 2007 (CDT)) | |||

Sound bites/lyrics
Just curious, what would you consider lyrics and what would you consider sound bites. I am wondering, because a few other songs that I considered had lyrics that I did for the wiki, such as Come On, could be considered sound bites. CardinalDan
