What exactly is the concept of a "Divine Song"? What kind of song can really be called a "Divine Song"?
Xiao Ji believes that a "Divine Song" = "repetitive climax song" = "misheard lyrics song." For example—
"baby baby oh——" (Justin Bieber - Baby); "The DJ got us fallin' in love!" (Usher - The DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love); and "What Does the Fox Say?" (Ylvis - The Fox [What Does the Fox Say?] translated in China as "The Fox Calls")
Yes, perhaps today's "Divine Songs" all follow this sort of formula: the melody is highly rhythmic and clearly layered; and the lyrics are usually catchy. Through repetitive and emphatic lyrics, our ears are constantly stimulated, creating a kind of "misheard lyrics" feeling. This often gives us a slightly hollow sense of satisfaction. (By the way, I wonder if this is similar to the high one feels after taking drugs?)
Of course, this is just Xiao Ji's personal view. This topic is really looking forward to how friends see and analyze it. What kind of "divine replies" will appear?
(Uh… Xiao Ji is listening to "The Fox Calls" with headphones while making this post, and now my ears are full of all sorts of strange "echoes" and the bass accompaniment… in short, my whole being has been conquered by the divine song… O_o)
Regarding "Divine Songs," What do you think?

I feel that the current 'divine songs' are the ones that suddenly become popular all over the country, everyone can hum a few lines, but after a while, no one cares about them anymore. Divine, right?
Personally, I think it's just a silly song ←_← The lyrics are meaningless and simple, the singing is average, and the singer isn't any kind of male or female idol ←_←
I wrote a long article and accidentally hit the refresh button... After the long-winded consequences, I'll just say one more thing: [the original music, without lyrics]
It seems that a 'divine song' is a song that, after listening to it a few times, keeps looping endlessly in your head →_→
