(Before first verse, during the ??Ooohs?)
D G Bm A
Verse 1:
D
Pop music 101
Some simple instructions
G
For a good first impression
Now let??s start with a first one:
Bm
A minor chord, tensions grow;
Fade in the bass like so;
G
Now with momentum go ??stop?
And bring the beat back
D
It??s called Four-on-the-floor
A beat you can??t ignore
G
I??ll bring sexy back once more [??yeah!?]
They??ll love that [??yeah!?] fo?? sho??!
Bm
The chords are 1-4-6-4
Now I??m talkin familiar
G
Harmony in thirds, not fourths
Will take you into the pre-chorus
Pre-chorus:
Bm
Real quick now, don??t you bore us
A
Hurry up and get to the chorus!
G
Dumb down, they won??t ignore us
Chorus:
G
Get to the floor!
Bm A G
And here??s some words you should know:
D A G
Like ??DJ never let me go?
Bm A G
"pour shots", and then I??ll "lose control"!
D A
Or ??baby baby baby baby baby?
G A
How about one more last word like
G Bm A
"Hey girl, we??ve only got tonight"?
G A
Some things just go together like:
G Bm A
"higher", "desire" and "fire;" "higher", "desire" and "fire"
Verse 2:
D
Guitar and strings like these
To sound like Black Eyed Peas
G
This one??s a filtered swing
This one??s a legend key
Bm
Hipster music on cassette
But you probably don??t know that yet
G
808??s-? [??hey! ho!?] Hell yeah!
D
Heartfelt pop anthems
From Mumford and his Sons
G
Gang vocals here we come
Bm
??I?
Will?
A
Always wait?
[wobble bass]
Pre-chorus
'Kay, slow down?
Take it to the chorus!
Chorus
Bridge:
D
I can pitch and shift my voice if I want
G
I can pitch and shift my voice if I want
Bm
I can pitch and shift my voice if I want
A
I can make my voice low
D
The bridge is
The part when
You bring in
A rapper friend. [??Sup??]
G
You simplify, you slow the beat
Abbreviate, feature defeat
Bm
Quick now, fill in the gaps. [??Okay!!?]
Right up and down, eliminate that which you
A
Really would rap an??
Give them a classic like ??Get-get-get-get??
Chorus
[random dance music and beat-boxing weirdness]
