Analyzing The Song She's Kinda Hot
Naturally, there's only one way Australian pop-punk band 5 Seconds of Summer could follow up the release of their latest single "She's Kinda Hot" and that is with a music video. Luke, Calum, Michael, and Ashton just dropped the official video for their new angsty track, and I was pleasantly surprised by its content.

The only word to describe 5 Seconds of Summer's "She's Kinda Hot" music video is kooky. The video begins with a series of scenes involving kids who would typically be considered "outcasts:" a gamer, a client in a therapist's office, and a teen getting picked on by his brothers. Meanwhile, the guys of 5 Seconds of Summer are in a remote garage, building an epic mobile stage/vehicle. Later in the video, the boys ride the vehicle down the street and attract a small crowd as they perform "She's Kinda Hot" on top of it. …show more content…
Instead of consistently being led by frontman Luke Hemmings and bassist Calum Hood, "She's Kinda Hot" features lead guitarist Michael Clifford's and drummer Ashton Irwin's vocals quite a bit. Irwin, who was rarely featured as a vocalist on 5 Seconds of Summer's debut album, seriously steps it up in this track and conquers the song's breakdown all by himself. When listening to this track, I didn't even realize Ashton had a solo at all, so I was very surprised to see him singing in the music video. However, he truly commanded the screen and did an excellent job with his first major

    Analyzing Holden's Song 'Thinkin Bout You'

    The song “Thinkin ‘Bout You” by Frank Ocean pertains deeply to how he feels about Jane Gallagher. For an example, Holden persistently calls Jane his friend, but never tells the reader how he really feels about her. He says, “...We'd get into a goddam movie or something, and right away we'd start holding hands, and we wouldn't quit till the movie was over. And without changing the position or making a big deal out of it. You never even worried, with Jane, whether your hand was sweaty or not. All you knew was, you were happy. You really were.” Salinger 80). Holden’s feelings for Jane shine through from his personality in his little confession in his mind. Holden does not particularly enjoy the thought of sex, he cares for companionship. In addition,…

    Street Hustle Experiment By Erykah Badu

    It would seem multi-platinum, Grammy-winning artist Erykah Badu, despite her abundance of talent and lengthy, tremendously successful career, probably wouldn’t be able to hack it as a New York City busker. The singer, once dubbed the “queen of neosoul,” posted a video on YouTube earlier today showing her spending about five minutes attempting to garner some spare change from passersby in the Times Square area. She dubs this performance of sorts a “Street Hustle Experiment.” Badu starts the video, entitled Live Nudity, by announcing her location, 42nd Street and Avenue of the Americas, and wondering aloud, “I just kinda always wanted to see what it would be like to, you know, sing for money on the streets.”…

    Mademoiselle Reisz inquired Edna how has she been using her time and is shocked to hear of Edna’s choice of becoming an artist. She warns her that an artist must be brave, possessing “a courageous soul that dares and defies.” Edna assures her that she has persistence if nothing else, and Mademoiselle Reisz laughs, hands over the letter to Edna, and begins to play the Chopin Impromptu that Edna asked to hear. The music deeply affects Edna, and she weeps as the pianist glides between the Impromptu and another piece, “Isolde’s song.” When Edna asks if she may visit again, Mademoiselle Reisz replies that she is welcome at all times.…

    Film Analysis: Some Like It Hot

    Some Like It Hot is a very funny movie. The film uses many ways to make the audience laugh, but mainly the film creates a situation where normal people would not encounter. Such as the two musicians dress up like women and join an all girl band. To make this funny, Joe and Jerry become very unattractive as women and try to act like women, but fails horribly. Another example is that Osgood fells in love with ¡°Daphne¡±, which the audience knows that it¡¯s Jerry. The act of Osgood pursuing Jerry makes the audience laugh. Yet another example is when Joe as a millionaire trying to get Sugar to sleep with him, he makes up a ridiculous story where he cannot fall in love. What makes this funny is that the story would normally do nothing to normal…

    The Sweetheart Of The Song Tra Bong Analysis

    Rat’s reputation among the men of Alpha Company was of being an exaggerator who frequently overstated the truth. The narrator compares Rat’s storytelling to sharing the experience of a fire, in order to burn his audience and ensure that they would come to the same understanding as him, Rat would embellish his tales. The narrator suggests that his stories be corrected by ‘subtracting superlatives, figuring the square root of an absolute and then multiplying by maybe’ implicating that every word should be taken with a grain of salt. Rat was also thought of as an emotional person who would be captivated in the moment of his stories. In order for him to express himself and his own personal…

    Miley Cyrus Analysis

    We live in an environment where flaws nourish our judgment and criticism of one another. This occurs most often when celebrities have slipups. The paparazzi takes the form of lions following around zebras until they are vulnerable to attack, and that’s when they go in for the kill. The media describes these moments of vulnerability as if the celebrity committed a crime. Due to this many stars fail to rationally deal with this unwarranted attention, specifically, Miley Cyrus. Saying that Miley Cyrus has been at the forefront of Pop culture would be an understatement.…

    This Kiss Song Analysis

    There are wires growing out of everyone’s ears. That is, to listen to music. Music is an infinite source, whether that source is for lifting up spirits, expressing underlying pain and anger, or just merely a distraction. Music from well-developed Broadway musicals to a series of beats at a party, it is something we all have done: listen to music. Some even say that music defines us but it that really true? Is our music the soundtrack of who we each are? Do what we listen to support our core values in life? To answer this I sought out the one song I listened to most, “This Kiss” by Alex Days and Carrie Hope Fletcher, and interpreted its lyrics to see if it matched with my core values of commitment, happiness, and love.…

    Response To The Ghostbusters

    The new "Ghostbusters" movie was released on the 15th of July and along with the movie's release came the release of the soundtrack. On the soundtrack is the song Girls Talk Boys by 5 Seconds of Summer. If you are not a fan of the band, I recommend that you still listen to the song. It is very different than their typical sound and the song has a funky, retro kind of vibe to it. Even the vocals are not of the typical pop rock style. There is more of a groove to the entire song that I would actually compare to DNCE. If you are into the band, you will appreciate and his ever-present bass guitar. The bass and electric in this song give it a sound unlike what is prominent in today's music and I think this song is such a bop. Give it a listen and…

    Sweetheart Of The Song Tra Bong Analysis

    In Tim O’Brien’s “Stockings," the nylon stocking draped as a token of luck from Dobbin’s neck represents a parallel to the significance Mary Ann’s, herself, personifies. Something that brings comfort, and by virtue of its essence, keeps us safe: “…they kept him safe. They helped to justify his need to access to a more spiritual existence, where things were softer and more from .” Dobbins is portrayed as a strong man because of his faith: “Henry Dobbins was a good man, and a superb soldier… a believer in the virtues of simplicity…”. O'Brien outlines the many masculine traits that make-up an ideal soldier, he then goes on to say “Even now, twenty years later, I can see him wrapping his girlfriend’s pantyhose around his neck before heading out on ambush.”. The stockings were a talisman for him. O’Brien paints a picture in “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong” of the necessity and essence of femininity that paradoxically and inevitably slips quietly into the masculine. In both instances, the essence of femininity plays an integral role in the…

    Taylor Swift Analysis

    I watched Taylor Swift acoustic performances from the RED album. The first song presented in the performance was “We are never ever getting back together”. This popular song features a variety of musical techniques. During the song Taylor Swift begins playing the song at a consistent speed. Later in the song at 2:04 she changes her to a faster tempo and at 2:29 returns to her original tempo. The faster tempo makes the song feel climatic, I feel that she is able to highlight certain lyrics or parts of the song she wants to stand out. I like the songs use of a consonant harmony as it creates a song that is very enjoyable and easy to listen to. While her song remains relatively at the same volume throughout the song she noticeably quites in the…
