lesson #018: london bridge

D'you realize that the catchier songs of recent times are quite monotonous? The melody doesn't go up or down much. And the beat gets repeated over and over. It's amazing that what comes out of it is the kind of stuff you can't get off your head. Examples:

Promiscuous Girl / Nelly Furtado
London Bridge / Fergie
SexyBack / Justin T
Me And You / Cassie
Buttons / PCD

With Buttons being the least monotonous but also the least recent. Hrmmm. Do I sense a formula?

Anyway, London Bridge sounds very reminiscent of Hollaback Girl. But I still kinda like it. How come every time you come around / my London London Bridge want to go down? How come indeed.

Listening to all these songs makes me wanna club-a-dub-dub. But gots to wait til the end of the production. Don't think can afford a hangover at this stage!
