I recalled a comedy rock band from Australia over the past week. This comedy rock band goes by the name of "Axis of Awesome" and they are an amazing group. They are mainly known for their song, "Four Chord Song" that you can find at the end of this post. Axis of Awesome has three members who are Jordan Raskopoulos, Lee Naimo, and Benny Davis. They are favorited by me for their talent and creativeness.
The Four Chord Song explains to everyone that many pop songs today and in the past only use four chords making it "dead simple to write a pop hit." By manipulating song tempos and tweaking keys of songs, you can play the four chords and form a song. Some songs you can play are as follows:
"Poker Face" - Lady Gaga
"Don't Stop Believin'" - Journey
"Forever Young" - Alphaville
"You're Beautiful" - James Blunt
"I'm Yours" - Jason Mraz
"Happy Ending" - Mika
"Amazing" - Alex Lloyd
"Wherever You Will Go" - The Calling
"Can You Feel the Love Tonight" - Elton John
"Let It Be" - The Beatles
"Under The Bridge" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Kids" - MGMT
"Superman" - Five For Fighting
...and many more...
Some of you may be wondering... what four chords do they play? Well, it depends what key you play it in. The easiest key to play it in is C. The four chords are C, G, Am. and F (or, at least that's what I think). In their official 2011 music video, they use D, A, Bm, and G (please correct me if I am wrong). Be aware that their song does have a bit of some language not suitable for some of youth.
Here is their AMAZING video of them playing their song:
