Pop 101 - Live

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 four-on-the-floor
A beat you can't ignore
I'll bring sexy back once more (Yeah)
They'll love that (Yeah) fo' sho!

The chords are 1-4-6-4
Now I'm talkin' 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
Dumb down, they won't ignore us

Get to the floor
And here's some words you should know
Like, DJ, never let me go
Pour shots and then I'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
808s, hey, ho, hell yeah!
Heartfelt pub anthems
From Mumford and his Sons
Gang vocals, here we come
Thinking, I will always wait

Real quick now, don't you bore us
Hurry up and get to the chorus
Dumb down, they won't ignore us
Tape slow down
Take 'em to the chorus

Whoa!
And here's some words you should know
Like, DJ, never let me go
Pour 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
I can pitch shift my voice if I want
I can pitch shift my voice if I want
I can make my voice low

The bridge is
The part when
You bring in
A rapper friend ('sup?)

Quick now, fill in the gaps (okay!)
Water it down
Eliminate that which you really would rap and
Give them a classic, like, cash money!

Get to the floor
And here's some words you should know
Like, DJ, never let me go
Pour 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
Boots and cats and boots and cats
