Introduction: I have made so that this interview takes place at a special time, the interview is staged to be 1975 a while after Bohemian Rhapsody’s release. I choose this time because it was at this time, with this song, that Queens fame begun. I also choose this date because it’s easier to ask question about a special event, and what led to it. The interview is quiet long because of the specific questions: some questions are answered directly and thoroughly while some need follow-up questions

He put a lot of his own energy into the song to make it a success. Mercury confronts

My favorite song is “The Weekend” by an artist named SZA. The song is overall about SZA explaining how she knew and was willingly having an affair with a guy, that she would only see on the weekends, because he has a girlfriend. However, the overall purpose of the song, was to inform the listeners of how she finds pleasure in this wrongful doing. Within the song, the 3-three literary devices conveyed, which helped get the main points across are Metonymy, Visual imagery, and Paradox. Given from the

This is a CD made up of songs about relationships; they are some of the greatest songs of Motown between 1965-1971. This CD tells tales about love, gossip, cheating, pleading, and all the other things that come with a relationship.

Introduction The song I have chosen is “If I Ain’t Got You” produced and recorded by Alicia Keys. In “If I Ain’t Got You” Alicia Keys sings of cherishing the ones you love and not focusing on material or superficial things. Complex and other sites have reported that the inspiration for the song came from the tragic death of Aaliyah, an R&B singer who died in a plane crash in 2001. Keys is reported saying that Aaliyah’s death “made everything crystal clear to me—what matters, and what doesn’t” (Osei)

Family Guy is an extremely controversial show due to its outrageous and harsh cartoon humor that seems to stay within no boundries of political correctness when it comes to the content.
