Most Poetic Songs

Monument by A Day to Remember is one of the most poetic songs ever. There are a lot of poetic devices used in this song other than alliteration and imagery. There is internal rhyme where is says "Get so far away from here with you my dear." The internal rhyme is here and and dear. This is also narrative poetry. This is a story about a boy going through life with many fears and not knowing what to do because he wants to stay, but he also wants to live out his dream. There is also a symbol in the song. The symbol is when it says "it's been a long road." This is a symbol of life saying how nothing much has changed and he is forced to live the life he is living, but only at the moment. There is also a metaphor in the beginning of the song. The metaphor is "Nobody knows the troubles I've seen. In a van on a soapbox for the world to see." This is a metaphor of all the wrong things that people do to others, that no one really notices but it happening right in front of them. These are just a few examples as to why this song should be one of the top 100 most poetic songs.

Worst Song Ever

Fish Heads by: Dr. Demento

Fish Heads by Dr. Demento is the worst song ever made poetically. There is no rhyme scheme. There is no allusion. The majority of the song just says, “Fish head, fish heads, roly poly fish heads.” There is no real point to the song. The only poetic device used in the song is humor. When listening to the song, the voice is really high and annoying. There is actually one other poetic device they use, which coincides with the humor. This poetic device is personification. One example of personification used in the song is when they say, “Roly poly fish heads are never seen, drinking cappuccino in Italian restaurants, with oriental women.” This is personification because fish heads can’t drink cappuccinos with oriental women. These are the only two poetic devices used in this song. Other than these couple examples, there is nothing good in any way shape or form in the song poetically speaking.

Pun through Loss thorugh Country Music

God's Will by Martina McBride has one major pun. The title of the song is the pun. The boy in the song's name is Will. He is also God's will, because he is handicapped and it is God's will to help the weak. This is a pun because it is a play on words. The play on words is the fact that since he is crippled, then he is God's will, and the fact that his name is Will. So, this is the only pun in this song.

Euphony through Loss through Country Music

"Independence Day" by Martina McBride is a song with a lot of euphony. One example of a euphony is when it says, "She tried to pretend he wasn't drinking again, but daddy left the proof on her cheek." This is a softer way of saying that the father in the song is an abusive alcoholic. Another example of euphony is when it says "Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July. By the time that the firemen come,they just put out the flames and took down some names." This is a softer way of saying that the mom killed herself and the father.
