Is just me who doesn't listen to lyrics at all? I really only listen to music for the melody, I couldn't care less what people are actually saying. Thats probably why I like Japanese music more than English stuff since the meaning doesn't jump out at me as much.

Sometimes one of my friends will say "listen to the lyrics in this song, it's funny". I'll listen and then they'll start laughing at the lyrics, whilst I'm there struggling to hear the lyrics.

Repetitive tasks like working on questions while applying my knowledge - yes
Learning something new all together - no ==> I fail subjects this way
