There is no denying that most, if not all, mainstream songs in the western world is in English. In fact, I know people who have even used songs to help them learn English. 

But if a song called 'Oops... I did it again' can make it into the charts then that begs the question, do we really pay much attention to the lyrics nowadays? In French, for example, I would argue that the lyrics are often more important than the melody, although it must be said that this is not always a good thing (cough*Renaud*cough).

Waxing Lyrical is a personal project that explores the lyrics of various songs, from the beautifully romantic to the slightly creepy.
