J: woaaahh Katie: phat tuba
Henry: WOOP.
J: We got all like slide whistles going all the auxiliary instruments as we call them

oH
bABY

R: OHNO G: oh shit

whY
This is very Miss Saigon,
oh shoot that was Korean
Oh shit, all right, didiii
OH WHAT
L: This sounds like you came out of like a wii carnival game
It has the music technique of Mickey Mouse-ing in where the sounds effect or like they show what is happening on the screen
aaHAHHAAAHJSWHAT
horns
Oh my god, whatthehell
wow
Whoa,
K: I love a good bass
C: OH he's like GET HYPE WE HERE
P: ohmygooooosh
HOW DO THEY GET THAT MANY PEOPLE DOING THE SAME THING
H: I Really dig the guitar
AHHHHHHH YEAH
Naoki: Talk about the mood shift though.
Stephen: No, seriously. I'm picking up this like rock bad boy vibe like the three stooges
switchen to this
K: That was a really cool psych out. I was expecting like the drop to happen, but it didn't
Oh, yeah. They make you beg.
This is like a very
playful...like teasing
K: yeah it's like a...lil tease
aw yEAH
BALL PITS
R: The swung stuff works well for this rap, G: yeah like a swung-
Khanh: ahhh I like this rap! Kevin: solid rapping!
It's like a limrick G: it's a limrickXD
Instead of "write me some bars," "write me a limerick!"
H: this f*cking grooves so hard. I love it. (E: Yeah, that's pretty cool.) It just rocks
that was funny!
L: I was wrong
This song is kind of relentless like it doesn't hold up
I'm such a fan!
Every single time I expect a big downbeat they don't do it and it's really frustrating, but it's cool
Yeah, this chorus is very driving. Just with the strong rhythm bang bang bang bang bang
Yeah, everything's on the downbeat - yeah, but it doesn't sound really square. Yeah, it's the style what's going on, which is nice Oh
Dance break
btoh: oH
AND THE CAMERAA
R: I feel like they burn a lot of calories
G: yeah that's why they're all (R: just jumpin around all the time) thin
I like that one guy sustaints (K: perfect fifth) and you have the guy underneath doing the movement... so you get that contrasted in motion
so it's like- K: that was very
J: so it's like psshhhh K: Good choice for like a climax note
since a P5 is a very open interval
and it just like
gives a very free feel to the music
Wow the VHS
I like how it ended on the on the fourth sixteenth note.
or, well.. the sextuplet.
The sixth sextuplet.
Wow, that was that was pretty fucking dank. Yeah
That was awesome. It's- it
Rocked which I've never said E: grooved!
pretty hard. H: I thought that that was a rock and roll song. It was two chords
But the texture made up for it, yeah, um, which is really hard to do. E: good song cool like inventive intro
Yeah, so what do you think about in? C: that was bumpin'
bumPIN
like bumping something... but BUMPIN
P: *perfectly says* BBUMPIN C: YEAHTHAT
Yeah, so even though that was like a 1-2 chord song? what kept it moving?
why didn't I think the the guitar kind of like riffing over it kind of helped keep it interesting cuz it was just like
okay, so here's what I think about these two chords in essence, but
the- also, they had a lot of like rhythmic things going on that were also driving in ahead. Yeah and the bassline help that
Yeah, it almost helps you kind of get into the mood if you watch it first and then like you maybe if you're in the
Car with your friends you can like turn it on or whatever
But like this is definitely something you want to see them dance to for sure. It's so good. Yeah. so good.
Melodies pretty good. yeah there's a lot variety
For me it's like having a strong
I'm all about like the sound having a good sound its pleasant to listen to and that you know
Just like the the first song we listened to what was the video for today? Monsta x yeah. Yeah. Yeah monsta
Yeah, just like that song there. Is that really catchy guitar riff and that song and just repeat it over and over again?
And it was a pleasant sound to listen to mm. I think that that's you know with this
It's I'll the guitar sounds Pleasant
It was appropriate and the riff was it was really catchy, too
So that helped to drive along along with you know
The visual and musically the just the energy that they carried in the melody and the vocal lines
I I mean like I honestly didn't pay attention to the actual music of it that much and I think it's because it was like
You didn't they didn't have anything that made you stop and think like "why is this weird?"
Yeah, just like his like pleasing to the ear. They
made it incredibly predictable and our brains are hard-wired to loooove
Predictable like we're like, ooh, I think I know what's gonna like automatically like what even without- us
Consciously knowing our brains like I think this is what's gonna happen and if that's right dopamine
Yeah, and they they didn't even stick to like the like standard beat the whole time and they switch it
cut out one, love it!
I got one in the pre-chorus as they swung the beat rather than but like that was only intermittent like between
the different sections (the stuff that they-) they switched it up.
Yeah, the stuff that that they used to switch it up with stuff like cutting everything out and doing the harmony
Wouldn't stop you from dancing
Right, right
It was just it was a very good song to just like have a dance party to and it was clearly meant for that reason
So they like they kept all the necessary things that everyone expects like the huge like belt break like couple bars from the end
You know, it's coming
Yeah, I think it was like the driving rhythm with the vocals and then they matched it with the instruments
But then the drum beat also had a bit of an offbeat sometimes I think which made it keep moving wasn't so static
Yeah, I really liked the fact that they were able to use like that electric guitar riff throughout a lot of the song
You know, it was just really motivated to write
Yeah, it was like he it had kind of parts that were complex
But it keep kept going back to like that one over like dot dot dot and that was it just like tied everything together
So I was really nice compositionally. It was just really catching.
That was a crazy crazy change from the introduction
ohmygod it- F: my ears were like oWWW for a little bit
It rattled me. There was a lightning flash and all of a sudden
They had a bunch of different synth sounds going on that didn't necessarily
Have anything to do with the harmonic functions like the claps and also just different
Sounds like they they changed up the instrumentation even though the progression didn't change
That definitely helped to add variety and like make it not boring.
I kind of found this song I described it as relentless
It's just growing because like there was no break at all
The only change was really in the bridge and before the bridge which was refreshing
How do you feel about music supported the choreography in the music video?
I feel like it was the other way around. the choreography supporting music. Yeah, absolutely
It was very rhythmic and thier dance moves were so crispy and in line with the music with the camera like different shots too
Yeah, that's to the music video was very supportive of it. H: it was edited flawlessly
Just looked smooth as
silk, I mean they have a massive production budget because they're very successful and
They use it, you know, there's not holes. Yeah, you know together seemed like everything was synced really well
choreography matching with the pacing of music the music even though the music acting kind of
Irregularly in terms of form adding a bar or two in specific forms to make it like a five or six bar
Phrase, matched with the video. it almost mean it almost made it feel like the song was making way a little bit for the video
It kind of gave it some space to breathe
so you kind of had it like you had to
Retrain in you couldn't just put it on in the zone out after if one listened, you know
Which is really important. If you want to have people continue to listen to your song and continue listen to your music
is you have to keep them engaged in listening to wonder listening to and make it feel like the first time every time so
Yeah, this is dank. I would love to listen to this again. Hello, everyone
