Pop music 101
Some simple instructions
For a good first impression
Now lets start with a first one
A minor chord, tensions grow
Fade in the bass, like so
Now, with momentum, go, stop
And bring the beat back
It’s called four-on-the-floor
A beat you can’t ignore
I’ll bring sexy back once more, yeah
They’ll love that, yeah, fo sho!
The chords are 1-4-6-4
Now I’m talkin' familiar
Harmony in thirds, not fourths
Will take you into the pre-chorus
Real quick now, don’t you bore us
Hurry up and get to the chorus
Dumb down, they won’t ignore us
Get to the floor
And here’s some words you should know
Like, DJ, never let me go
Pour shots and then we'll lose control
Or, Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
How about one more last word like
Hey girl, we’ve only got tonight
Some things just go together like
Higher, desire, and fire
Higher, desire, and fire
Guitar and strings like these
To sound like Black Eyed Peas
This ones a filtered swing
This one’s a legend key
Hipster music on cassette
But you probably don’t know that yet
808s, hey, ho, hell yeah!
Heartfelt pop anthems from Mumford and his Sons
Gang vocals, here we come
Thinking: I will always wait
Drop more bass
K, slow down
Take it to the chorus
I can pitch shift my voice if I want
I can pitch shift my voice if I want
I can pitch shift my voice if I want
I can make my voice low
The bridge is
The part when
You bring in
A rapper friend, 'sup?
Simplify, slow the beat
Abbreviate feature to feat
Quick now, fill in the gaps, I'll try
Right up and down, eliminate that which you really would rap and
Give them a classic, like, Get get get
Oh, yeah, dance
Boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats and boots
Joshua Ramsay
Boots and cats and boots and cats and boots
