How to Write A Pop Hit

As we discovered from our David Hasselhoff concert outing (and schlagermusik and the Eurovision Song Contest....), one of the keys to music that the crowd enjoys is giving new words to familar tunes.

Australian comedy band Axis of Awesome has taken this a step further and offers entertaining proof to their hypothesis that the key to writing a pop hit is to use the same four chords.

These guys are truly awesome. I'm jealous of all of you in the US who have the chance to attend one of their 2011 tour dates. If they don't tour continental Europe, we might just have to hit the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August.

Enjoy!

I like the band Axis of Awesome because of their trademark outfits. Especially their love for neckties and buttoned shirts!
