This weeks #TuneTuesday theme is #MismatchMusic where the music and lyrics don't seem to go together.

I've so chosen "Drops of Jupiter" by Train
https://youtu.be/7Xf-Lesrkuc

This melody is a reasonably upbeat one, but the lyrics are quite sad as they're about losing someone (and I think it was specifically to do with losing his mum to cancer)

This weeks #TuneTuesday theme is #MismatchMusic where the music and lyrics don't seem to go together.

I've chosen The Great Escape by Patrick Watson https://youtu.be/YA2h9PrIUxs

This song is a nice piano piece for the most part, but the lyrics are quite sad and I can go from being happy with it to feeling sad pretty quick.

This week @kitty 's #TuneTuesday theme is #MismatchMusic from @Lemniscata

Since Halloween is almost here and I am a narcissist, please experience my cover of "Monsters Lead Such Interesting Lives" originally sung by Daffy Duck in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DUCK, 1988

Monsters lead such interrrresting lives

Gee, I'll bet monsters are interesting. The places you must go and the places you must see, my stars! And I'll bet you meet a lot of interesting people, too....

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #MismatchMusic, where the lyrics and melody seem to have a different tone.

This folk-pop hit sounds melancholic but the lyrics are a little more quotidian, if not fully upbeat. Juust remembered to play at the last possible minute.

Yikes I nearly missed #tunetuesday on #mismatchmusic, tunes where music and lyrics are at odds in tone or emotion.

A few protest songs came up, such as Country Joe and the Fish "Feel-Like-I'm-Fixing-To-Die Rag", but I ended closer to home with the Undertones.

It's Gonna Happen, pure pop joyfulness which happens to be about hunger strikes in Northern Ireland circa 1981. Definitely one of those where you need to check the lyrics.

Here my contribution to #TuneTuesday today: #MismatchMusic
Songs where the sound & the lyrics are in contrast.

WBTBWB - Kartoffelsalat
The song sounds like all hell is breaking loose, but he's just asking his mother to make him potato salad with onions and pickles because he's inviting his friends over so he's not alone anymore.
