The fifth song I will be analyzing is “C’mon C’mon” off of the\u00a0Take Me Home<\/em> album. This song is about a guy just wanting to dance with the girl of his dreams with the title (C’mon C’mon) being his way of asking her to dance.<\/p>\n

Evaluating Masculinity<\/strong><\/p>\n

This song, much like “Truly Madly Deeply” only allows the listener to get the boys perspective of the situation, not the girls. We can tell that this guy is really into this girl from the lyrics. Take a look at these lines:<\/p>\n

“So c’mon, c’mon
\nMove a little closer now
\nC’mon, c’mon
\nAin’t way you’re walkin’ out
\nC’mon, c’mon
\nShow me what you’re all about”<\/p>\n

The guy here isn’t asking the girl to dance with him, he is commanding her (I know that “commanding” sounds a little harsh and I don’t think the intention here is to be harsh, I just couldn’t think of another word). In these lyrics and in the song in general, the guy is being very assertive, forceful, and I would also say ambitious. These are some of the items for evaluating masculinity in the Sex Role Perspective.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Evaluating Femininity <\/strong><\/p>\n

As stated, there isn’t that much to go off of here since the listeners only get one side to the story. We don’t really hear how the girl is reacting to this and we don’t get any descriptions of her either.<\/p>\n

I think something interesting to bring up though in regards to the lack of the female perspective is the audience. This song, along with “Truly Madly Deeply” are constructed in such a way that lets the audience, or listeners in this case, insert themselves into the narrative. This is interesting because a fan would absolutely say yes if One Direction asked them to dance like in “C’mon C’mon.” It doesn’t necessarily matter if the lyrics are aggressive, it’s One Direction.<\/p>\n
