Lyrics That Need To Be Shouted
Katie Louise-Smith

By Katie Louise-Smith

If you don't scream them... do they even exist?

It is a truth universally acknowledged that any song with lyrics that need to be shouted, will evaporate into thin air if one does not participate in the shouty parts. Did you know that? Basically, every time you don't shout the lyrics to a shouty song - one dies. It's true. You better share this list to save a life, tbh!
