Pop music 101 Some simple instructions For a good first impression Now let's start with verse 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 4 on the floor A beat you can't ignore I bring sexy back once more (yeah) They love that (yeah) for sure
The chords are 1-4-6-4 Now I'm talking 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 Dumbed down, they won't ignore us
Get to the floor And hear some words you should know Like "DJ never let me go" Or "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 one's a filter sweep This one's Imogen Heap Hipster music on cassette But you probably don't know them yet 808's... (hey, ho) Hell yeah Heartfelt pub anthems from Mumford and his sons Gang vocals here we come Been thinking, "I will always wait." (Wobble Bass)
Real quick now, don't you bore us Hurry up and get to the chorus Dumbed down, they won't ignore us
(Tape slow down Take 'em to the chorus)
Whoa And hear some words you should know Like "DJ never let me go" Or "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
(I can pitch shift my voice if I want [3x] I can make my voice low)
The bridge is The part when You bring in A rapper friend ('Sup?) You simplify, and slow the beat Abbreviate "feature" to "feat"
[Anami Vice:] Quick now, fill in the gaps (Okay!) Water it down, eliminate that which you really would rap and Give 'em a classic like
Get-get-get (cash, money) to the floor And hear some words you should know Like "DJ never let me go" Or "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
(Dance)
