Lyric Analysis

We analysied the lyrics from our video:
  • The song is easy to follow as it makes joke of a very serious issue of the 2010 election; through creating a rap/song  in which they form thei own political party 


  • The video reflects on the real-life narrative of the 2010 political election


  • Follows a young group who have created a mock election party and are trying to get people to vote for them instead of the real candidates


  • They give a fairly detailed outline of the story through going into which role each of them holds "I'm the chief secretary, to the Treasury".


  • They also have smaller topical jokes in thier work for example they have include the MPs spending scandal in their song "I could have a moat around my estate".


  • Also they use clever play on words that discuss present day issues in our political system "We could sit around, have a mass debate". This creates their element of humour.

From these points that we noted down as a group, we feel the lyrics appropriately get across the message that young people (18-25) should vote and have a say in who runs the country, and does this in a catchy, humours way.
