R&P: How many times of listening to a song...?

Question

Does it take you to finally remember all the lyrics ?

For me it all depends on how memorable they are.

Probably 10-20 times at least for most songs.

Answer 1

about..

ummm.

3?

Answer 2

it depens if the voice sing is easy to hear also so people say by listening to something 7 times it in prints to your brian!! also this song if it has a catch in it like some song you might just remember just the chours!!!!! for me it depens like rap i just cant understand them some times!but rock like acdc or metallica speak more clearly and you can remember the lyrics better!!

Answer 3

lol..the person above me...nobody writes down songs...

and it takes me about 20 times too but i have good memory  

Answer 4

Just once for me... sometimes twice.

Answer 5

About 5 times if the lyrics are semi-easy, and twice if they're easy. If they're hard, about 10 times. But it all depends on the song really, I'll learn the lyrics for a catchy song much easier than the lyrics for a slow song.

Answer 6

Yes about 4 times...

Answer 7

rock-5-6 times

rap-10-15 times

country- 4-5 times

heavy metal- 25-30 times

but it all depends on who sings it and how clear the lyrics are.....

Answer 8

I can sometimes predict the lyrics that come next in songs that I've never heard before. Even if they don't rhyme, I'm right about 50% of the time with rock songs, 75% of the time it's pop.

So I can sing along like the 2nd or 3rd time. But that doesn't mean I can just start singing the lyrics by heart.

Answer 9

It can be never if I were to ever listen to a death metal song. But sometimes, the singer will mumble or sing in a falsetto, or things like that, and eventually I'll have to look it up

Answer 10

Idk but if I don't know the lyrics I always fill in the blanks with words that rhyme until I get it right. lol

Answer 11

That's about the same for me. When I'm really really into a song, i'll listen to it about all week maybe two. But yeah 10 times for me, I'm pretty good at memorizing lyrics.

Answer 12

well it all depends on  the song. some songs i can listen to like a hundred times but only know the chorus but some songs i know allmost all the words after the 2nd or 3rd time hearing it.

Answer 13

Depends how catchy the song is and what genre and if you can understand them...I would say over 5 to get them exact!

Answer 14

i think like more than 15 times lol

Answer 15

sometimes it only takes me like 5 times but other times it takes like 25

Answer 16

It depends on the length of the song, or if I can even make out the words. Maybe ranging from 5-20 times.  But then again when it comes to Metal, some lyrics you just really can't make out, so I just start guessing or look it up.

Answer 17

once or twice

Answer 18

Me, well usually around 10 to 15 depending on the difficulty. take daft punks Technologic that took me a couple of weeks of on and off listening to get it right.

Answer 19

me normally about 13-17

Answer 20

It depends, if I can actually tell what they are saying, only once or twice. It it's hard to understand a certain word, I look up the lyrics to see what it actually is, then listen a few more times and usually it after that.

Answer 21

It depends, but I'd say 10 times for most. Then again, I've heard "Subterranean Homesick Blues" hundreds of times and I still don't know all the lyrics.

Answer 22

I think it helps to write them down.  Try writing them down and singing along with the song.  usually about 3 times for me.

Answer 23

yeah  

Answer 24

Well if I like the song enough, I usually get it down the first 3 times of hearing it.
