Defining "song" has me wondering...is it vocals? is it lyrics? the combination of both? I guess what I wanna know is which of these have to be present for it to be considered a song. "CMYK" has vocals and distinguishable lyrics but they're used in such a non-traditional way. Elizabeth Fraser is one of the most beautiful singers I've ever heard but often her lyrics are gibberish. Chilly Willy did a great cover of "Let's Stay Together" with just synths . I'm curious about where the line is drawn, because it's more akin to a continuum than discrete bands of songs/not-songs.

Really? I think that's fairly evident: non-vocal instruments being used to simulate the human voice. While we're partaking in this literalist faggotry, I would also like to point out that some dictionary definitions do not preclude those noises not produced by human vocal chords from being referred to as "singing".

And everything with human vocal chords in it is not a song. It has to be in song form.

Why should they?

The moonlight sonata isn't a song. The end.

I noticed this on the 1st page. It should be Van Morrison - Cyprus Avenue vs Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower cause Cyprus beat The Rat.
