VOTD: The 4 Chords of Pop Music
By Seraphina L.Most pop songs are written with the exact same chord progression; this is not a secret. It is the combination of the songwriter’s original melody and lyrics that will make a hit song. However, it is funny to actually hear a number of different songs all run into each other without ever changing the instrumentals. This is exactly what Australian comedy group, Axis of Awesome, has done. It’s been favorite song for them to do live, but they have gone a step further by recording the medley and making a collage to go along with it. Enjoy and have a laugh… or realize that musicians need to be more creative.
