Am I supposed to believe Buddy Holly was creating lyrics at a 10th grade reading level or something?

The Beatles lyrics probably averaged even lower. What's your point?

Why stop at 2005? Let's see some of the genius level lyrics from the 80s.
ETA: Guess there wasn't any.

Back in my day, we used real words in our songs, like "MMMBop."

Here's some college-level poetry from Hendrix
quote:
The clouds are really low
And they overflow with cotton candy
And battle grounds red and brown
But it's all in your mind
Don't think your time on bad things
Just float your little mind around
Look out ! Ow !
Hang on my darling, yeah
Hang on if you wanna go
Get on top, really let me groove baby with uh Just a little bit of Spanish Castle Magic. Yeah baby,
here's some
Yeah, ok babe, ok
It's still all in your mind babe
Oww !
Yeah !
Ah !

I'd love to know what "I'm in love with the coco" and "flickadawrist" are.
Maybe they count Ebonics as a foreign language and up the level
