I love a song that has a good beat, and meaningful lyrics don't hurt either. I dedicate songs to people and I like to create playlists of songs that I can relate to, so lyrics are as important as a good beat that will make you want to keep listening.

I don't know the words to most of my current faves, I just like the beat. If you see a lady in a car with her head a-wobblin, that's probably me keeping the beat.

The tune and the beat makes me listen AND the words. However if a song has a good tune and beat then i will like it. Example: Gypsy Kings has beautiful music but i cannot understand everything they are singing.

It's always been the music. I don't even hear the words, and oh yes, rap is CRAP!

I do know all the words to Pink Floyd's "One of These Days", "One of These Days, I'm Going To Chop You Into Little Bitty Pieces"

To me, you could do a stand up foul mouthed comedy routine as the lyrics providing the music itself is well thought out, written and performed.

its the melody that i hear first, although the beat must be pleasant. if the words are bad, i won't listen to it, but its the melody which is most important to me.
