Symbol:
And she bangs, she bangs
Oh baby
When she moves, she moves
I go crazy
'Cause she looks like a flower but she stings
like a bee
Like every girl in history
She bangs, she bangs
Symbol is present in Ricky Marten's lyrics because he is relating a girl to plants and animals. He is relating the way a girl look and acts to a bee and a flower. Ricky does this to show how he views a girl, and uses symbols in his lyrics to relate to fans or the public through his music.
Allegory:
You see me laughin'
Cause it's kinda funny to me
The way she say she never give her lovn' for free
She say she got a man why she lookn' at me
Yes she want a lover with the sensativity ya
Allegory is present in Slightly Stoopid's lyrics because the lyrics show how this guy is trying to have a good time but also messing with this girl and showing he wants a relationship also.

Euphony:
Grateful Dead, Uncle Johns Band
Come hear the Uncle John's Band by the riverside
Got some things to talk about, here beside the risin' tide
Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide,
Come on along, or go alone,
He's come to take his children home.
Woh - oh, what I want to know, how does the song go?
Euphony is demonstrated in this song because the lyrics show a relaxing side of playing music down by the river. The tone of the song along with the words in the lyrics make it a very calming piece of music. This is a song that someone would listen to if they want to be in a happy and mellow mood. The lyrics are very pleasing and positive.
Repetition:
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Sugaree is repeated multiple times throughout this song. By having this repetition a listening can tell that the message the Dead is sending is how important this girl Sugaree is. They are using reputition to draw compleat focus on Shugaree.
Imagery:
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home (Oh, won't you please take me home)
Imagery stands out in these lyrics because the band gives the listener a clear vision of how they picture their paradise city. The band is successful by using a lot of description. The band uses this description to get the listener to imagine what the band is singing about.
