Thank you.
Thank [B] you and welcome to hullabaloo.
You know when I was first asked to host a hullabaloo a few weeks ago
I decided to do a little research on my own.
[E] So just the other day.
I read a particularly interesting [A] thesis on current music
[G] Listen to this
No [F] simple formula [E] seems to exist
What can be discerned is a grand simplification in the way a chord sequences and melodic development.
[B] Isn't that interesting?
No, [E] it's not interesting
Well, [Am] maybe this is more interesting, how [G] do you like this this is the animals doing their first
[Em] [F] First time [Em] anyplace singing their brand new record.
[F] It's my life the [Bb] animals
