RE: The #Happystore: Your place to buy, sell, trade, or gift (week 15)

Very cool. And I've placed it: the first song, "Shut Up;" the verse's melody (not the lyrics) is uncannily similar to Billy Joel's "My Life"

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone!

(Shut up!! Shut up!!)

Isn't that weird? Just a little "earworm," as they say.. ;)

Sort:  

I'm sorry, but I can't make the connection. Perhaps its because I can't hold the tune in my head long enough to connect them, but to me they sound very different in rhythm.

YEs... I guess it's the blessing and the curse of a musical brain that constantly has tunes running through it lol. I would be willing to bet SBD that it's the same exact chord progression. Which is different than sharing the same specific chords per se, just the same relationship to each other (a different "key," if you will--if that makes sense lol.

"I was(something something somethin) when I saw you"
["I don't need you to worry for me I'm alright"] (bum du du du duh)

"I couldn't help myself, so I walked right up to you..."
[Don't want you to tell me it's time to come home...]
BUM-buh-bah-dum-duh!!

Anything? lol

Nope... Sorry. I would need to hear the 2 clips simultaneously I think. But I believe you. It's just that I can't make that connection. That's not to say it isn't there.

lol no worries :) And to that point, just bc it's "there" in my mind's ear, doesn't mean it's necessarily in anyone else's! ;) Thanks for humouring my insanity ;))

No worries. Thanks for taking an interest. It has been pleasant chatting with you!

Ditto! When I "strike it rich" on STEEMIT, imma be back for that record ;)

You're doing quite well for being here just 2 months! A few people have realized that by participating in my zombie adventure game, they earn steem slowly but surely, and as my account grows in SP, so does my VP as well as the VP of the other players. You won't "strike it rich" but you will earn a little each day.

Are you in Canada or the USA? I guess at this point it doesn't matter. When the time comes, we will need to think about shipping details. I have a few copies with autographed sleeves. Not sure if that is of any importance.
