This is analysis of the complete K3 work.

Most songs can be categorized in three main subjects:

• love
• ethics
• partying

In all three categories I have favorites, but also songs I immediately delete from my playlist.

The songs about love are, in my opinion, the main strength of K3: I enjoy the lightweightness (Op elkaar, Wie zal ik een kusje geven), simplicity (Trouwen, Verliefd), naughtiness (Ali Baba, Heyah Mama, Liefdeskapitein) and/or wittiness (Antwoordapparaat) that can be found in multiple love songs. But there is also a more controversial songs: Doe maar describes 'taking the big leap', where the girl is not ready yet. There are some songs about love that I find mediocre or devoid of any meaning, but these are a minority.

The songs about partying are, in my opinion, the main weakness of K3: most describe nothing more than going to have a good time, and dancing, laughing and singing a lot. The meaningsless is in my opinion only enhanced by the use of jabbertalk.

Songs with naughty lyrics are rated more favorable. K3's first hit, Heyah Mama, has plenty of them. I think naught lyrics fit K3 well.

Songs about celestial objects have a big plus for me: I simply enjoy astronomy. Especially Jupiter is a song I greatly enjoy because they sing about dancing on the moon and standing on the rings of Saturn (which is not as simple in reality).

Also songs with terms you have to look up, can count on better reviews:

• military: Willem Alexander
• physics: Wat Jij Doet Met Mij

Song with jabbertalk are generally favored less: I have never understood the fun of nonsensical exclamations like Kuma He, MaMaSé!, Oya lélé or Yeke Yeke.

There is even a song without (non-moronic) lyrics, Eya Hoya. Where K3 its strength is in the lyrics, this song tries to be a plain party song, where there are millions of already.
