Music Podcasters interpretations of songs

[IrishEyes]

I was listening to my hubby's podcaster doing a 1st time listening to Buffalo Springfield's
"What It's Worth" It became very clear real quickly this lady had no idea what was going on
in that time of the song - at all.
She described this verse as "like an adult telling children to Shhhhh, listen to the sounds of the street,
cars, people, shuffling of feet, on and on.
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
I get it, she was mentally visualizing hundreds of people on a normal day in a busy city or something.

Now that you can maybe see where her mind is at -
without knowing the reference to this section, tell me how you think she described it, repeatedly.

What a field day for the heat (Ooh ooh ooh)
A thousand people in the street (Ooh ooh ooh)
Singing songs and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooh ooh ooh)

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Sipping drinks and they carrying fans (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mostly say, 'God, I need a tan' (Ooh ooh ooh)"

Taking pics and they carrying bags (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mostly say, 'Check out these new tags' (Ooh ooh ooh)"

Humming tunes and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mostly say, 'I love my zodiac lines' (Ooh ooh ooh)"

You are pretty darn close! I think she had this song mixed up with "Summer In The City"

I think my hubby took offense to me laughing at her describing that one verse
over and over adding more detail. He says "Well she played in orchestras and does
quite well describing the instrumental changes within a song."
Well, then she maybe should read up what a song is about and say "This is my visualization of it"
I honestly felt like her review was almost sacrilegious of that song. I was hurt how badly she messed it up.

I doubt I would have an issue with it. These type of song reactions are deliberately first listening, from someone who knows noting about the song. And therefore they will say how the song seems to them as they are listening to each song line.

When we all here songs for the first time, they initially mean different thinks to all of us.

Why would that be worthy of laughing at.

I agree with nearly all of what you said and in that, I also in my listening to her and knowing the song is not about a lovely summer day
in the city found it funny. Not sure worthy even comes into play.
