Really enjoyed that.

And with a 3 chord trick you can play every other song they didn't play.

As long as you ignore the rest of the song (where other chords ARE used), I guess you could basically say that EVERY song is a 'one chord song'...

A couple of Bo Diddley's chord was a passing chord.

Damn Pachelbel anyway. It's all his fault.

Seriously though, it is depressing. I was in the studio a few weeks ago doing CCM sound-alikes. And almost every song had 1 5 6 4, or 1 6 4 5, or 1 4 6 5, or 6 4 1 5, or 4 1 5 6. It got to where I couldn't remember which variation went with what song.

LOL

I remember watching this last year on the Melbourne Comedy Festival - if I'd known you guys would've been interested, I would've posted it then!

Good dig-up though, funny stuff...
