Influenced

So about a week ago, my mom bought Mika's new album "The Boy Who Knew Too Much". I thought, eh, okay, his first album wasn't bad so why not? Turns out Mika, on the 4th track, Dr John, has been incredibly influenced by the Beatles and Queen, especially in the chorus. I was flabbergasted! (I like that word .. it's funny).



Well, that's when I realized how few of my friends know about the music that inspired today's songs. So I was texting my friend (which I will not name, sorry) telling her to go listen to Dr. John because of the Beatles' influence, and she's like "Oh, I don't know them well enough to tell you so I wouldn't be able to agree".



.. Say what now? How can you not know the Beatles? Don't get me wrong, I'm not obsessed with them and I don't even have their songs on my music player, but PLEASE! The Beatles, Queen, Pink Floyd, how could you not know them?

It's like that girl last year in French class (again, no name, sorry) that asked who John Lennon was. I nearly died. Then, when we told her he was in the Beatles, she's like "Well, why are they so important? What did they do?". GAAAAAAAHH !!

Anyway, Mika's new album is good. All songs are different, and I really enjoyed it. Go check it out, yeah?
