Not remembering lyrics? Is this just me...

[jeffo2448]

I love all kinds of music, but I realized that I'm terrible at listening to lyrics and remembering them... even if I've heard the song over and over. Maybe I just zone in on the music going on, but is anyone else like this?

Dude, I forget my own lyrics half the time. It's cool, it happens to everyone.

Don't flit from one thing to another, because that just smacks of a large lack of determination and drive. And people don't like you for that, and won't remember you for it. I mean, I get that you have a plucky spirit and a willingness to try new things, but there's a limit, man. I might knock it down to just Thursday and Friday.

It sort of varies for me. Sometimes I'll be completely unable to remember the lyrics for a song I love, yet I know that goddamn Mission Impossible theme by Limp Bizkit word-perfect despite not having paid much attention to it.

Like you say, maybe it's because the music is my primary focus in songs I like, whereas in the case of the Limp Bizkit song it's basically all words and very little else.

I can remember songs normally without a problem, but when it comes down to my own music, don't ask me what the words are, because it's not like I wrote it or anything.

I can only remember the words to rap songs for some reason.

It's very rare for me to pay any attention at all to what the vocalist is saying... I normally don't notice until I'm showing a song to someone else and the lyrics are really embarrasing (see: letting my playlist slip onto some prog-metal while driving around with my girlfriend.)

Usually I have to hear the song for it to jog my memory. As soon as it starts playing I can generally keep up with it.

The funniest thing is I will always remember the lyrics to Fuck the Police and Straight Outta Compton. Now if only I could get my voice to sound like Easy E....

I was helping my father repair my car today, the radio was on and during 3 hours I could tell when lyrics popped up and could sing them pretty well. For some reason I'm fantastic at learning lyrics.

Don't worry, I hardly remember most of the lyrics I hear. I usually look up lyrics to the songs I listen to. I only know a few song lyrics well, and that's from looking them up and listening to the song numerous times. In some cases, they're nigh impossible to understand.

I'm typically terrible at remembering lyrics from songs that aren't a little pop-ish. I can remember most Linkin Park songs, seeing as how I grew up listening to the first two albums, and most pop, pop-rock, and the like I listen to I can remember here and there. I think I've got most of Gaga's stuff down so far. For rap, sure I can remember some of the lyrics if I choose to, or if I love the flow/verse. Basically, it depends on the song. If I never really remember the lyrics, sometimes I pay attention to them after a while and see whats what. I hate singing.

I just want to ask... does anyone else find that Megadeth lyrics are really hard to remember? Here's a choice excerpt:

Never knowing if I'd wake up, in a whirlpool, got redundant
And my brain was just some driftwood in a cesspool I became dead
From a rock star to a desk fool was my destiny, someone said
Life's a tidepool taste the water, life's abundant!

I mean, what? Mustaine's lyrics are so convoluted that I find the lyrics to almost any of his songs deceptively hard to remember. Anyone else have this problem?
