Nickelback...

this is amusing as hell. you will need both speakers to hear this. so if you're like me and have ghetto speakers where only one works, you're out of luck. :)

the story behind it can be found here.


thanks to x__o for bringing this to my attention. ahahahahahaha!!!

oh, that is too funny.
OTOH, that also explains why i like
both of those songs. *hahaha*

also the article...interesting.
i wonder how many other bands could
have a similar thing with two of their
songs? i think maybe Hoobastank? which
i like mostly too....hmmm, there may be a pattern
there. :P

Fascinating.....there are several elements that have to match up for something like this to work.

1) Key. Both songs must be in the same key, and indeed have mostly the same chord progressions. I think we've found Nickelback's Favorite Chords. *g*

2) Tempo. Both songs must have EXACTLY the same tempo. Now this one I find slightly boggling.....it's so easy to get off in tempo very quickly, so unless they record their music exactly to a metronome, and happened to use the same exact tempo, I suspect some artificial tampering on the part of the mixer there.

3) Length. Both songs were exactly the same length; IE the same number of measures. Of course, many popular songs use the same measured 'verse-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-chorus' pattern with little variation, so that's not altogether surprising.

In all, a very amusing phenomenon.
