It´s very hard for me to pick only one song, one group or
singer and only one style, so I pick this video that represent my eclecticism
about my music preferences. I also pick it, because it`s very funny how this “Australian trio” put together a
lots of songs based on their chord -most specifically- the 4 chord progression,
to show us “how to make a pop music hit”.
The message is
sent by “Axis of Awesome” named by their self as “The World’s Most
Awesomest Comedy Band”, they mix original comedy songs and pop parodies.
The first time that I saw it, I laugh until one cries, by
reason of the characterization, all the objects that they use, and because I
try to connect every song to their videos and singers.
Maybe some people might not laugh as much as me, or others
may think that is only made to make fun of the groups or singers, but I think
that they’re really creative to put so many songs and represent (the groups or
the singers) with only few objects.
This video is a way to show creativity and comedy, but beside
the fun, I think that, if so many pop hits are made with this 4 chord, is
because this progression(The first major, the fourth major, the fifth major and
sixth minor chords)
may be pleasant for a lot of people.
I search a lot and I found a page: explainlikeimfive- The
music theory behind the "four chords" Axis of Awesome song.
I leave you the link if you`re interested in learn more
about it.
Please let me know if you enjoy this video as much as I do!
