song seed

Same Song and Dance

1. Something that stays the same regardless of repetition.
2. (As used in Eminem's song by the same name) Screaming and struggling. In the song, the phrase is repeated many times and is used to refer to the fact that the character who's point of view is being shown has kidnapped many people, and every time there is screaming (the same song) and struggling (and dance).

1. Going on my daily walk, it's the same song and dance.
2. (Lyrics from the song) Same kicking and screaming, Same crying and sobbing, Same song and dance. Same begging and pleading, Same yelling and bleeding, Same song and dance.

Playing the world's saddest song on the world's smallest violin

A sarcastic saying used when a person tells another person of something mildly unfortunate that has happened to them, sometimes exaggerated in order to gain sympathy. It implies that the person speaking of their misfortune expects someone to come in playing the saddest song in the world on the worlds smallest violin to correspond with the apparent tradgedy of the situation. Sometimes the person saying this will mime playing a small violin, or try and imitate the sound of a violin.

Jade: Hello, how are you?
Laurel: I just stepped in dog poop and my new shoes got ruined and my feet smell like dog poop, and-
Jade: -Shh... hear that? i'm playing the world's saddest song on the world's smallest violin (mimes playing small violin)

Songholm Syndrome

A psychological phenomenon that results from absentmindedly listening to a bad song over and over again until you actually enjoy it.

See Stockholm Syndrome

John: P-p-p-poker face

Andrew: Dude, what the hell are you doing?

John: Sorry, man. My sister added Lady Gaga to our iTunes and I'm suffering from a serious case of Songholm Syndrome.

song selling

Song selling takes place when a singer-songwriter earns money in exchange for the rights to use his or her original music, often to a (more) famous, or up-and-coming, recording artist.

If a singer-songwriter has written a catchy song but seems to fall short on vocal or instrumental ability, a listener might say, "you should sell your song." Hearing this can be extremely disheartening for singer-songwriters, especially those who are still developing their talents, or have not yet enjoyed their fifteen minutes of fame.

Why does song selling even exist? Any band or singer who is worth their weight can write their own songs.

swan song

Derived from the legend that a swan is mute until moments before death during which it sings a beautiful song, a swan song is an action ending something epic.

After the concert, they said they would never perform together again. That concert was their swan song.
