Who wants to eat a coyote?

The song that I choose to analyze is Castle by Macklemore.



Approach to audience: The approach of this song is very random but there is a story line. It beings with the basic background of the song which is partying in a castle. Then the story gets a little deeper with killing a coyote and wanting to eat it. This however only comes after many references to booty.

Why I like it: I like this song because the first time that I heard it I legitimately lol'd in the car. It is souch a fun song to me and comedy is great so yup.

Individual parts:

     Lyrics: The lyrics are the most random thing in the world here is an example.

"From England to Stockholm
I'm wearing a cape just like a poncho
I got a cutey and I'm making a beat on her booty
Like I was up on the roof beating up on a bongo"


     Individual Instruments: The instrumental part of this song is mainly computer generated but it adds to the piece by being simple when is has to and pumping you up when the song is getting good. 

     Influences: I thing that there are some major influences in this song but they are hidden in how random all the words are. Most of the influences that I catch are something small that relates to a very specific group of people. Like people who like MC hammer.
