i really like the rip off of parklife definition but i think its completely untrue.
there are similarities to parklife in the streets but very few. well theres
one really, the fact that he talks over a
beat, usually a garage style
one rather than
indie-britpop. and maybe the fact that he talks about everyday life. i really doubt, however, he based his whole career on that
one song (but maybe based fit but you know it on parklife)
mike skinner is also an amazing lyricist. he not only talks about everyday life, but talks about everyday life in a really really well written way, especially on a grand dont come for free, which is wonderful and should be studied in schools like shakespear. he manages to write a story about the occurances of an average 20 something
man and makes it so gripping you want to cry with
happiness at the end.
his music is so down to earth, most people can relate to at least one of his songs.
