It doesn't have to be stupid.
It can also be melodramitic or melancholic etc.
And then we must -yes we cannot avoid it- think of certain songs. The 80s were full of those.

I said the basic riff of My Sharona was moronic. I revel in it. I don't think there's anything wrong with stupidity in rock music. I think it's rather the point much of the time. As to chords, I don't think having a lot of chordal movement is anything in and of itself. I like music with no chords, a drone. :shrug: I don't really buy that complexity is necessarily more virtuous than simplicity. Or vice versa for that matter.

My POV is borne out when Zappa quotes the hook of My Sharona in his reggaefied cover of Ravel's Bolero.

I stood by watching
and I seen 'em come and go
I seen 'em make that million
then vanish in the snow

They come upon you
like a pack of rabid hounds
as they slobber in your ears
and purge you with their sounds

Pushing misinformation through the holes in my skull
my belly gurgles nauseous and still my mouth is full

More, less, or the same stupid as the original?

Not really safe for work, it's got dirty words and all that.

I didn't listen to it, but being a stupid ho is the equivalent of getting 1600's on your SAT's these days, financially.

And congratulations to that missy elliot skank for getting her pedophile self back into the mix!

ugabuga TONGUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE and it's an instant hit. Ew. She's gross. Tell me for people that keep up with this garbage, is she still using under-aged chicks in her videos "shaken their not quite formed bosoms" or doing the mamba dance with a bunch of kids singing about vulgar sexual acts?

When I see all the Adele ads now, I think the OP must be answered a yes most def

Adele so totally boring, average voice, like a bubble'n'squeak reheating of what Lulu already did a lot better in the 60's
