British Researchers Use "Science" And Enlighten Us With What Makes A Catchy Song
The Diner Music
After all these years of banging my head on the desk with music searches, I can now thank British researchers who have just made my job in music supervision easier.
It turns out that according to "science" making music that is catchy is not subjective, and if an artist follows these four easy steps:
A) long and detailed musical phrases
B) multi pitch changes in a song's hook
C) male vocalists
D) higher male voices making vocal effort
. . . then they will have a hit on their hands!
Their proof . . . "The Final Countdown" by Europe . . . The Theme Song to Baywatch . . . "YMCA" by The Village People . . . "Living on A Prayer" by Bon Jovi . . . and "We are the Champions" by Queen (ok, the last one is right, but a lucky guess).
Thanks Science!
I am going to run out now and submit these songs today on my next music search along with your study to my clients and be a real superhero!
. . . Wait a second . . . they left off "Nothin' But A Good Time" by Poison . . . and "Dr. Feelgood" by Motley Crue . . . can this be right?
Check it out here.
