My friend Anna-Grace showed me that video, too. We had a good laugh. I love the Funniest Home Videos theme.
Some musical theatre friends of mine have noticed that a certain chord progression fits with practically any musical number, but I don’t remember what that progression is so I suppose this comment is of no use.

Perhaps less means more with art?

While it was of course well-done and hilarious, I feel like I’ve seen it done better somewhere else before . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM

Slightly different theme, I suppose, but the same basic idea.

That was freakin’ awesome!!

The funny thing is that I really like most of the songs that were mentioned. I really am a fan of four chord songs because those four chords are just so darn good sounding. I think the reason that most pop songs are comprised of these four chords is because it really satisfies the ear and leaves the listener feeling content. If another chord were thrown in the mix it would sound off and out of place. However, when an artist can use a new and unique chord structure that “works” it is really great, but this can be very hard to accomplish given that these four chords are what we are used to and what we like.
