For me, music is mainly about the music, but sometimes the words make or break a song. I was going to post a groovy tune called "Map of Africa" (originally linked on idolator.com) but I couldn't get over the audaciously bad lyrics.

we're gonna make a map of Africa
all up in your pretty head baby
gonna find out where your delta lies
gonna know your perimeter lady

we're gonna make a map of Africa
all in your pretty bed baby
floating up between the pale green skies
tears falling like stars lady

we're gonna make a map of Africa
as I've already said baby[*]
I'm gonna pioneer your heartlands
and speak the native tongue

*no, this was not a live recording

On the other hand, Community by Mirah and Spectratone International is minimalist musically, but has awfully clever lyrics. Maybe too clever -- the people at saidthegramophone missed the point entirely.
