This is undoubtedly a high-quality and phenomenal pop song: the melody is easy to understand and learn, the arrangement is clear and rules, the lyrics are good, and the communication medium is appropriate.
is also the evaluation of pop music by the great philosopher Adorno . Pop music is assembly line and mechanical assembly, and fixed melody (routine) can be combined with combined modules at will, so there will be "empty ears". The same is true for this song. The melody is largely based on the Central Asian style (the Xinjiang style we are familiar with) and the rhythm of the dance music. Even the singing style deliberately uses smoke and hoarse voice, so it is easy to think of Xinjiang singers such as Escar and Elken. In terms of arrangement, guitar finger-playing techniques and strong rhythm accompaniment are also widely used. There is not much difference in the main song chorus, and the melody is generally monotonous and easy to learn, so it is easy to cover and popular.
(Although popular songs are the product of industrial assembly lines, they also determine whether they can become popular and whether they will become popular. Songs that can become popular must be relatively clear and easy to learn, and the public will sing it after listening to it a few times. In contrast, Wei Li'an's "Wolf" is not very convenient to learn to sing, and it is relatively difficult. It is more attractive than Gong Linna's "Tenuous" Huang Ling's "Itch" such as songs that seem strange melody, in fact, are more difficult to popular.)
Let's talk about the lyrics, which depict the exotic style of the vast desert. This intention is always a bit attractive to the people in cities who can only experience the marginal world through travel. Moreover, the lyrics are neither saliva (compare "Pudding, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Beeping, Being, Being Singed by People's Day, It's Not Understandable). Give a representative lyrics:
What ghost legends? What ghost monsters? What monsters? (a bit of culture, but ordinary people can understand them. Now songs like to come to these lyrics)
Only the egret is singing in a quiet high (reflecting the essence of the forced rhyme and the forced use of unfamiliar words on the pop song: egret, also known as snake eagle, lives only in the area south of , fly less, and hunt by walking. This is not our ordinary eagle, it is a kind of thing running on the ground, basically the same as an ostrich, and should not sing, otherwise the prey will run away.)
Yellow sand is flying all over the sky Walking all over every corner (this is all lyrics of saliva, Mr. Qi Qin's wolf has been used long ago)
Walking in the endless vast galaxy (with some intention)
Such lyrics have everything, basically all people can take care of. Although they seem to be very unindividual, just like composition routines and fixed phrases, intellectuals don't saliva, and peddlers think they have a bit of culture and intentionality. It is basically a common divisor of public aesthetics.
Another thing worth noting is that the communication channel has changed. After the two new media platforms,
short videos and live broadcasts, Chinese pop music has once again begun to undergo a huge change. I have summarized myself that modern and contemporary Chinese pop music is basically an evolutionary process formed with the development of the times. The four keywords are:
release films, talent shows, Internet, Internet celebrity
release films, singers have the longest history, and we now regard them as classics in the Chinese-speaking world. From Zong Shengdayou's "Four Heavenly Kings" to the group of rock bands such as "The Four Heavenly Kings" to the group of rock bands in mainland China in 1994, Sun Nan and Na Ying and countless Black Panthers Tang Dynasty, after the new century, Tao Zhe Rikhong Jaylen Eason, are basically professional singers, all of whom have to release records and albums.
2005 Super Girls began, heralding the beginning of the talent show in Chinese pop music. Talent singers have begun to become a phenomenal group that cannot be ignored. Singers in the era of film release began to sit on the seats of the audition judges, and have been sitting until now, and do not sing as judges. Nowadays, many discourse singers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the Three Places are this group of talent show singers, Yang Zongwei Lin Youjia, Fang Datong, Jane Zhang, Zhang Bichen... This group of people fully prove that pop music is essentially pop culture, not music.This judgment was proved by countless things later. The development of
mp3 and the development of China's Internet, especially after 2008, severely impacted the traditional record industry, and a large number of online music appeared. The representative ones are Huanzi , Liuzhe , Liuzhe , cold, Zheng Yuan , " 10,000 Reasons " and "Seeking Buddha", etc. The blessing of the Internet allows music to enter everyone's computers and mobile phones at an infinitely low cost. So ten years ago, Yang Kun said that the online music represented by "Rat Loves Rice" is incredible, and his posture represents the anxiety of all singers in the traditional era of posting.
The outbreak of mobile Internet in China around 2010, especially the emergence of live broadcasts and short videos after 2013. The trend of popular music faced by the public has changed again. Music itself has completely become the background sound of the gangster carnival in all scenes of this era, and the music is becoming a celebrity in music. This phenomenon is the most typical of the music in Kuaishou , Douyin and the live broadcast room. cli cli (an inexplicably popular foreign song), Taishan next door , learn cat meows, and become an internet celebrity once this phenomenon comes out, and there is no essential difference between it and emoticons. Of course, it doesn’t mean that no one sings well in this era, albums are being released, talent shows are being performed, but the speed of music becoming an internet celebrity and speed is far beyond the past.
Similarly, "Desert Camel" is such a song that starts from the Internet, songs in live broadcast rooms, and eventually spreads on Douyin and Kuaishou on all communication platforms. The lifespan of this song should not exceed New Year's Day (this is not a sentence to death for this song, but a speed of public forgetting and the speed of new and old coverage of the pop music industry).
quickly hold it in, let’s not talk about it. In short, this is a song that conforms to the characteristics of pop music in terms of melody and lyrics, and is very consistent with the current characteristics. It is not surprising that it becomes popular. If you type the rest, you won’t count it in detail.
