You just have to cloak them within the confines of these constraints, and it makes you more creative than just saying the idea out loud, right?

Which is why album rockers are typically dumb compared to yacht rockers, as far as the artists go.

Yeah.

So, like, if you're a songwriter and you're like, I'm a yacht rocker.

I'm not going to sing about, you know, teenage girls.

I'm going to sing about things I like, like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.

Man, that guy.

I think he's one of the most reprehensible songwriters of all time.

Not just that song, the pina colada song.

Have you ever heard the song Hymn, his song Hymn?

I don't know.

I don't know it by name.

Would I recognize it, you think?

I don't know.

It's considered yacht rock, but it's a really despicable song about this guy whose girlfriend is sleeping around on him.

So he's got to teach her a lesson to basically bring her back to heel and how he's not heartbroken or hurt.

He's just mad that this guy, he says, like, nobody should get it for free.

That's what he's upset about.

It's a nutso song.

Go listen to it.
