Clip du jour: Four Chords, 36 songs

Tags:

Have you ever been singing a song to yourself while doing the dishes or walking your dog only to suddenly switch to a completely different song without really realizing it? Come on, everyone has…right? Perhaps this clip explains why. The transitions are pretty seamless. Now if only I could get any of these 36 songs out of my head…

    That was freaking awesome. I think I enjoyed it just because I have 90% of those songs on my ipod.

  • Rachel K

    What’s funny is that none of those people probably ever intended to make their song sound like anyone else’s. It’s just a basic chord progression that’s so natural, song-writers naturally gravitate toward it. It’s easy. It’s in a major key. It resolves beautifully. There are definitely WAY more songs that could have fit into that sequence. It was pretty interesting to listen to.
