Everybody Else -- Just Pack It In, Already.
You know the old story about the guy who shut down the Patent Office because there was nothing left to invent?
Well, in the case of the music business, it's time to officially close shop and go home.
Heh, reminds me of a jam session a long time ago when a friend and I sang every song we knew to an E-D-A chord sequence that we played over & over for about 45 minutes.
That just about says it all, with a clean shot, right between the eyes.

More like an contemporary update. And the progression described in "4 Chords" is indeed a variation on Pachebel itself.
Still funny, though.
The most frightening thing to me is that I recognize hardly any of these songs.
ReplyDeletewow,that was annoying.
ReplyDeleteI guess a good companion song to this
