Now I am the FIRST person to admit when a song is "bad," and well, Korn's "Ya'll Want a Single" is a TERRIBLE song. The music is lacking, and the lyrics... don't even get me started!
But a single dosen't necesarily correlate to the music video. So while you might want to mute this song, there is no denying that the video is GREAT, and informative to say the least!
After the popularity of their album "Follow the Leader" (1998) Korn chose to use their status in an attempt to expose the medi industry. In 2003, they released "Take a Look in the Mirror." The album reached number nine on the billboard charts, and sold over 179,000 copies in its first week. The main single off this album was "Ya'll Want a Single."
While the facts displayed in this video are from 2003, many of them still apply. The video is eye opening, ifnormative, and one of my personal fav's! :) Not to mention that it CLEARLY applies to the music industries conforming to formats, conglomerations and so on...
I suggest watching the video with the music muted, for as pathetic as it seems, the music actually takes away from the video. (If you don't please excuse the vulgarity) Plus, you want to be able to give your attention to focusing on the video itself, and what is written in the text.... In another post I will include a fact sheet from the video.
