P.S. This was my first... chording(?) of someone else's song, and it was fun.
If someone wants to do the lead that isn't really lead since it's in the 
background, that'd be cool... you'd be a cool person... people would look at you 
and say, "Wow; that guy's cool! How cool that I got to see such a cool guy."
