When you see them set out in writing, most song lyrics don't have an awful lot of depth. Not to mention an awful lot of songs are incredibly repetitive... What may work wonderfully set to music, often doesn't work very well without it.

I guess that could why someone is more likely to appreciate a songfic if it uses a song they know and love, so they can "hear" it playing in their head, feel the emotions that the singer has poured into it, etc. Seems like it would be a big difference between this and just the flat, tuneless words on a screen - certainly for your average shallow pop song, which is what songfics mostly utilise.

Yeah, most of the time, I have NO IDEA what song is being used, so it's just repetitive lyrics that don't mean anything to me.

For me, it's often the same effect as if the fic were using constant references to other media--hilarious to people who KNOW the other media, just annoying to someone outside the clueboat.
