"If you are a beginner, be careful with pronunciation. You should know that even if tones are sometimes present in songs, they are rarely pronounced as they are in normal, everyday speech. Thus, I would advice against listening to lots of music before you have the basics of Chinese pronunciation down. Music is a very poor teacher of intonation and tones, so you’d better find a real teacher to learn that first."

That's why. it's everyday speech that isn't even that Hard to figure out if one can piece lyrics together and people could always look up the lyrics anyways. ._. As quoted, tones are not always present... and it probably sounds weird for it to.
