No official video for this cover, but I always loved Deftones rendition of 'Simple Man':

Simplicity it the purest form of genius!

Okiroo makes a fair point about repetition — a strong beat can carry a track, but lyrics that loop the same phrase wear thin fast. ChamomilleCame, I had the same reaction to Korean vocals sounding Spanish at first; the phonetics can overlap in unexpected ways. Edward Sharp's "Home" is a nice pick too. I tend to gravitate toward songs where the arrangement shifts enough to keep me listening, rather than leaning on one hook the whole way through.

Repitition of sound is the foundation/melody of most music. That normally leads to more complex and elaborate music. Techno/Club music are great example of music with complex melodies.

I think, a lot of people would be interested that, techno often drives from classical music.

For example: Mozart Piano Concerto


This was reworked into the baseline UK Garage classic, double 99's RIP groove...


Just a fun way to show how music composition repeats, and re-invents itself.

Big up RM!

Edward Sharp's "Home" is a nice pick too.

That is a nice pick!

Okiroo's point about repetition is fair — a strong beat only carries a song so far if the chorus just loops. Edward Sharpe's "Home" works because the back-and-forth vocals keep changing, so it never feels like filler. ChamomilleCame, I get the confusion with Korean sounding Spanish to some ears; the rhythm and vowel sounds can throw you off if you don't know either language. For me a good music video usually adds something the song alone doesn't, rather than just showing the band performing.

Okiroo, your taste really does run the whole map, but I get the point about a good beat carrying a song even when the lyrics wander. ChamomilleCame, that Korean track fooling people into thinking it's Spanish makes sense to me, since a lot of pop borrows similar rhythms and phrasing. My own favorites tend to hinge on whether the words keep me curious rather than repeat until they wear thin, which is probably why I drift toward quieter, story-driven songs when I'm reading or wandering around Denver.
