  3. Allusion Reference to cultural figure, place, or literature outside the text These references can be biblical, political, or from popular culture

  4. Allusion in Action Lil Wayne’s “John” “If I die today, remember me like John Lennon” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxxQkZXi6H4 Explained: John Lennon was an iconic musician. Lennon died, but he will live on forever in everyone’s memory, By referencing him, Lil Wayne is positively comparing himself to this icon and implying that he hopes to achieve this same kind of artistic immortality.

  5. Idioms A popular, common expression that has an agreed-upon meaning that differs from its literal, or actual, meaning

  6. IDIOMS in Action Lady Gaga’s “Wonderful” “Looking for something crazy, beautiful, nothing. Now I'm talking in circles again.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWDmGrfDYzc Explained: Lady Gaga is using a common expression, “talking in circles,” to illustrate that she keeps talking and talking, but really isn’t communicating anything

  7. Alliteration Repetition of beginning word sounds It doesn’t have to be the same letter, just make the same sound

  8. Alliteration in Action Tupac Shakur’s “Am I Right?” “I'm sick of psychotic society. Somebody save me.” Explained: The repetition of the sounds forces the listener to pay more attention to the lyrics, so Tupac is audibly reinforcing the idea that he is unhappy with the world today.

  9. Symbolism The use of concrete and recognizable things to represent ideas

  10. Symbolism in Action Cage the Elephant’s “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” “I saw a preacher man in cuffs taking money from the church.He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKtsdZs9LJo Explained: The image of the preacher in handcuffs symbolizes the downfall of society’s morals and ethics.

  11. Personification Applies human characteristics to non-human objects These can be living or non-living objects

  12. PERSONIFICATION in Action Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” “You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG6oy46qKE4 Explained: By personifying horror as looking him in the eyes, Jackson is reinforcing the idea of the horrific situation (zombies) being so close to him

  13. Puns A joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings

  14. Puns in Action Owl City’s “Dental Care” “I’ve been to the dentist a thousand times, so I know the drill” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMBnBs77G70 Explained: Owl City is making a pun by playing off the idea of dental drills at the dentist and playing off the idiom “know the drill,” which means knowing the process

  15. Onomatopoeia The use of a word whose sound suggests its meaning

  16. ONOMATOPOEIA in Action Ke$ha’s “TikTok” “Tick, tock on the clock, but the party don’t stop” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP6XpLQM2Cs Explained: Using onomatopoeia furthers the time imagery, showing that Ke$ha will not stop her party even though she hears the time passing by

  17. Metaphor A direct comparison, usually using a form of “to be” like WAS or IS

  18. METAPHOR in Action Beyonce’s “Sweet Dreams” “You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlxByc0-V40 Explained: This comparison makes Beyonce’s point more interesting. She is saying that her boyfriend could either be perfect, like a sweet dream, or seemingly perfect but really bad, like a beautiful nightmare.

  19. Simile An indirect comparison, usually using LIKE or AS to link the two objects

  20. Simile in Action One Republic ft. Timbaland’s “Apologize” “I need you like a heart needs a beat” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSM3w1v-A_Y Explained: This comparison shows the importance of the person the song is about. A heart will not survive without a beat, and apparently, he will not survive without her.

  21. Hyperbole Intentional exaggeration

  22. HYPERBOLE in Action Busta Rhymes’ “Arab Money” “A rap trillioniare, I control heat. I’m about to buy the ozone layer” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGHl1hp9YcU Explained: Busta Rhymes is exaggerating his wealth; he is not a “trillionaire” nor is it even possible to buy the ozone layer, but he is implying he is rich enough to do that.

Don’t Laugh at Me Lyrics I'm a little boy with glassesThe one they call the geekA little girl who never smiles'Cause I've got braces on my teethAnd I know how it feelsTo cry myself to sleep.I'm that kid on every playgroundWho's always chosen lastA single teenage motherTryin' to overcome my pastYou don't have to be my friendIs it too much to ask?[Chorus:]Don't laugh at me, don't call me namesDon't get your pleasure from my painIn God's eyes we're all the sameSomeday we'll all have perfect wingsDon't laugh at me. I'm the cripple on the cornerYou pass me on the streetI wouldn't be out here beggin'If I had enough to eatAnd don't think that I don't noticeThat our eyes never meet.I lost my wife and little boySomeone crossed that yellow lineThe day we laid 'em in the groundIs the day I lost my mindRight now I'm down to holdin'This little cardboard sign.[Chorus:]I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tallI'm deaf, I'm blind, hey aren't we all?[Chorus:]
