dc.description.abstract	Singing has become part of Yoruba culture and indeed, the human race as a whole. It is as old as man's existence. This implies that no society in the world does not sing. Singing is an art and it forms part of the people's literature. The importance of song in the political, social, economic and religious life of the human race in general cannot be underestimated. The love people have for singing is so great that we can re/ate it to the Yoruba saying: "eti were ni tekuté ile, abiyamo kii gbo ekun omo re ko ma tatiwere". This is to say that no one hears a song and will not "react". The Yoruba people for instance, sing all the time. It is however worth mentioning that in as much as songs promote and enhance peoples’ lives, its use calls for serious caution because it may have negative effects also as we shall see in this study. It is within this context that this article uses Yoruba songs to critically examine the role of songs in people‘s lives.	en_US
