This song, and particularly the chorus, is at the very top of his register. That means everything is harder to pronounce while actually sounding good, because you have to do all sorts of stupid shit with your throat, mouth, jaw, tongue, neck, shoulders, ribs, and abdominal muscles just to get the sound out without it sounding like you were just punched in the throat. For most people that includes modifying vowels to be more open, whether thatâs an âAhâ position or an âAAAAAAHâ position. His diction is actually really excellent. But between the modification and the speed/rhythm of this song it doesnât really register as full words unless you already know what to listen for. So instead of âweâre going down, down in an earlier round and sugar weâre going down swingingâ what you hear is âwere gon dahn dahn inanerly uhr raond n sh ugh uh were gon don swngân.â
The consonants are the scaffolding that builds the words, but the vowels are what actually carry them out to the audience. Because thereâs so much modification that has to be done for him to sing this song you have a lot of consonants that are VERY short, but not quite clipped. So your brain acts like thereâs no sensible words happening. This is super common if youâre singing in any sort of chorus/choir. You almost always see the director tell the sopranos (and sometimes tenors) to let go of the consonants and just make sure to get the notes, while the people singing more in the middle of their range will provide all of the diction required for the lyrics to be understood.
