4 chords make up all of Pop Music Successes?
I am a pure consumer of music - I donīt care who did what - I canīt remember band names singers, composers, djs - music I either like or I donīt - period. So naturally I have no underlying understanding of notations chords or whatnot - but this little videosong is very eye-opening as it puts pretty much all iconic pop songs played on radio up and down in heavy rotation all in one - what you would think would end up in a horrible mess of music jumbo mambo instead sounds like one song. Apparently they all have the same chord underneath which makes them pretty much all the same song. So if you want to make a Nr. 1 hit use these chords and be a star :) I must say that this puts an interesting twist on copyright right there. Why are the record labels not suing the shit out of each other - they are clearly copying them self.
and read the comments on YouTube - people are adding to the list of songs that could go into this - it seems endless...
Found on the (horribly) pink ShinyShiny blog.
