Joe Romms article "The Secrets of Being Memorable and Persuasive" is about how you should speak or write if you wish to be remembered. You have to have launguage intelligence. I agree with Joe. We all have those songs that get stuck in our heads and we can't get them out! I know that his example of "Call Me Maybe" was stuck in my head for months. A catchy tune with alliteration or a rhyming metaphore can become engraved in our brains so easily.
" Last summer’s monster hit “Call me maybe” has one of the cleverest, hardest-to-get-out-of-your-head hooks you can squeeze into three words, “Call me maybe.” The words “me” and “maybe” have both rhyme and alliteration."
I really liked this article because it useed examples that I knew and could relate to, such as "Call Me Maybe." I thought the intro was funny when Shakespeare and Lady GaGa were compared. Two people so different, and from wildly different times are being compared! I thought that was hilarious. I think this information might be helpful next time I'm trying to write a poem or a catchy pop song. I think that this is a good skill to have. To be able to talk to a crowd and have them have a line of your speech caught in your head for weeks would be amazing. I liked this article. It was interesting.
