‘Beat It’
Song by Michael JacksonLyrics
They told him, “Don’t you ever come around here”
“Don’t wanna see your face, you better disappear”
The fire’s in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can
Don’t wanna see no blood, don’t be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it (beat it)
Just beat it (beat it)
Just beat it (beat it)
Just beat it (beat it, uh)
They’re out to get you, better leave while you can
Don’t wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it
You have to show them that you’re really not scared
You’re playin’ with your life, this ain’t no truth or dare
They’ll kick you, then they’ll beat you
Then they’ll tell you it’s fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it (beat it, beat it, beat it)
Beat it (beat it, beat it)
Beat it (beat it, beat it)
Beat it (beat it, beat it)
Beat it (beat it, beat it)
Beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right (who’s right)
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated (no one)
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated (oh, no)
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)Source: Musixmatch

Where have all the saxophones gone in pop music? Quantifying their popularity over time could give useful insights into the trends and psychology behind hit songs. An analysis was conducted of 1081 Top 40 songs (1955-2020) with sax solos. A rollercoaster of popularity was found with two dramatic peaks in the early 1960s and again 20 years later in the early 1980s. By 1990, the number of sax solos has dropped to almost zero where it remains today. The tenor saxophone comprised 63.2% of the solos in this time period (alto 34.1%; baritone 8.7%; soprano 4.4%). Interestingly, while the popularity of the baritone decreased with time (p < .01), the popularity of the soprano increased (p = .021) probably because its ability to cut through busy songs. This general trend corresponds with changes in technology (the prevalence of synthesizers), economics (the cost of saxophone players), and taste – the latter of which appears to be more influenced both by individual creative artists and by bold players than previously thought. There are promising implications for educators and musicians of all instruments.

September 4, 2024 at 2:49 am #122874Circle of Life – each new western generation wouldn’t be seen dead associating with dads’ old generation style of music and dress – bad for their street cred.
to make a lot of money in music, you have to move with the times and play what the masses want and not what you want, everyone wants a quick shortcut to fame so they can mass produce their uninteresting autobiographies…
