Counting Songs and Cultural Reflections

This chapter explores the song 'Bodies' by Drowning Pool, focusing on its unique elements, particularly its counting lyrics, and the emotional energy it evokes. It also examines the impact of societal events, like September 11, on the perception of music, notably how certain songs were placed on the controversial Do Not Play list. Through a blend of humor and critical analysis, the chapter reflects on the complexities of music's role in times of trauma and the corporate censorship that followed.
