How Music Affects Culture


Adam Sandler?s “What the Hell Happened to Me?”


This song means that culture affects how we grow up greater then most


people think. I shows that when Adam Sandler was young, he was a well-rounded


boy that liked to have fun. The song is also saying that our culture is affecting


innocent youth that are forced to deal with the problems that the previous


generations made for them. This song shows how all people are affected when they


are really just innocent bystanders that have to witness the world at its roughest.


They are forced to deal with it although they are truly unprepared for such a harsh


treatment.


Traits. The song presents cultural traits in that it shows how we grow up and


are affected by culture. Cultural traits presented in this song are how we teach


children and what we subject them to. Our methods of education and entertainment


both affect how we turn out in the long run. The song shows how these traits affect


how people grow up, and what they value in life. For example, the song talks about


selling lemonade, eating popcorn, and watching parades. Then it goes on to say he?s


“only happy when [he?s] drinking JD” The point is that people are changing


because of society and our culture?s lack of certain elements, such as respect and


discipline.


Values. The values presented by this song include the value of respect and


discipline, and the need for more strict ways to keep a young mind safe of


destruction. These values are presented in the line “I only did the things that Mama


said I should, but now I do whatever I want.” That line shows that values change as


we age and the reason is because of society; obviously if Adam only did what was


allowed, culture?s values of discipline and respect must have turned him the wrong


way, beca

use his mother did not.


Other values presented in the song are education and entertainment. This is


shown by the lines stating that as a boy, Adam was well-behaved and had fun in


parks and carnivals. He played in the snow and he loved sports, but as an adult he


only finds pleasure in things he would never had imagined he could have only 20


years ago. Also, it is shown that culture has made such a mess of his mind that he


can?t understand why he would be in this shape. he presents this information to us


in the lines “It makes no sense, I can?t believe I?m me.’ He says this meaning “Why


did I end up like this and how? I never saw it coming.”


Language. This song really does not demonstrate the language of the culture


besides his use of shortened words and contractions. This shows that in our culture,


we are lazy and don?t really care enough to finish complete words or to make full


sentences.


Lyrics:


I used to ride the big wheel


And sell lemonade


Eat popcorn with Grandpa while we watched the parade


But now I?m only happy when I?m drinkin? JD


What the hell happened to me?


I used to have fun throwing snowballs


With my best friend Billy


Then Mom would make us cocoa if we got real chilly


But now I only get excited when I see a girl pee


What the hell happened to me?


I used to be the nicest kid in the neighborhood


I only did the things Mama said I should


But now I just do whatever I want


I even whipped it out at a restaurant


I used to help clean the park in the middle of town


Then play kickball ?till the sun went down


but now all I do is get VD


What the hell happened to me?


It makes no sense


I can?t believe I ended up me


I?m outta my gourd


Won?t somebody please help me


I?m kinda a weirdo
