This is why a society’s monsters have a tendency to be metaphors for whatever that society is scared of at the time.
BLACK MAGIC LITTLE MIX SONG CRACK
Don’t masturbate or you’ll go blind don’t step on a crack else you’ll break your mother’s back etc (apparently at one point, someone really hated crazy paving). These stories are focussed largely on defining what you shouldn’t do rather than what you should the easiest way to make someone not do something being to link that thing to something horrible and nasty. Of course, horror stories fit well into this type of storytelling.
Mythologies and religions work the same way: what is the point of religious stories if not to back-up their ideologies through examples of people who benefited from them/suffered for not following them? Hansel and Gretel tells people not to be greedy, not to enter strangers’ houses and to be suspicious of things which seem too good to be true. WHO WANTS TO OVER ANALYSE SOMETHING?!įairy tales are largely a method of societal control which sell certain sets of morals and assumptions through the form of narrative. While researching Black Magic by Little Mix, I found a review of it written by Marcus Floyd which said that “it’s fun and catchy, and there’s no need to over analyse it.” No need to over analyse it, Marcus? That sounds like a challenge. Yes, I do realise that I’m running very behind schedule. This year, I’ve challenged myself to write a review of every song that manages to get to No.
