The number one rule in comedy states that the best way to kill a joke is to explain it. But that doesn't account for Genius, which has mastered the art of comedy in over-explaining music lyrics.
And the internet is extremely here for it.
Spotify users are probably familiar with the Behind the Lyrics service provided by the crowd-sourced music annotation website Genius. But you might have missed the full scope of its brilliance, which brings the scholarly rigors of footnoting to the nonsense lyrics of modern pop music.
Amateur music scholars on Twitter shared their appreciation, and a Twitter moment gathered the most illuminating pieces of information gleaned from the Spotify and Genius partnership. They are nothing short of wiiiiiiild (and you can fact check us on that).
Take, for example, the hidden depths of the metaphor you might've missed in 50 Cent's 2005 hit "Candy Shop."

Their service to the public goes beyond just edification, though, and uses tangentially related information from artist interviews to deliver disturbing PSAs.

We've got our own annotation, too: 13 out of 10 times, Genius fucking nails it.
UPDATE: April 8, 2018, 11:26 p.m. PDT The name of the company, Genius, was updated and corrected.
