Acknowledgement
First of all, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Aline Remael for letting me choose the topic I really wanted to do. This was really important to me and stimulated me a lot in making this thesis. I also want to thank her for her advice on the introduction of my thesis and for finding an answer to all kinds of questions.
Secondly, I would like to thank Rik Seniow for helping me out with American slang words I could not easily find and for giving me some hints concerning rhythm and rhyme, Dustin Benner for explaining biblical references or typical American expressions, and my fellow students for helping me out whenever necessary.
I would like to send out special thanks to my family for supporting me at all times, for supporting me in the choices I make and for stimulating me to believe in my own creativity. I could not possibly thank them enough.
Last, but not least, I would like to thank Jelle Boets for supporting me throughout this last year and all the previous years of my study, for now and then taking me away from my school work and stuffy room with its ever humming computer, for strengthening my interest and passion for music even more and for realizing the recordings of the Dutch version of the Spearhead song Oh My God. In addition to this, I would like to thank the musicians that contributed to these recordings: Jelle Boets (recordings & guitar), Jeroen Van Esbroeck (recordings, synths & keys), Phillippo Fierens (lead vocal), Cathy Van Houcke (backing vocals), Marc Pesic (bass), Wim Vander Westen (drums) and Bruno Truyens (conga drums).
