4 Chords and you can be a star!

I remember hearing something like this before somewhere...

I tried posting that on facebook the other day. It ended up in my links section instead. I'm still new to the thing though

But still, priceless!

You'd all be interested to know that I went to University with the chubby guy with the vest in the middle. Really funny bloke!

-Cub. =o)

I don't doubt it for a second.

lol this is from the Melbourne Comedy festival - my home town, it just finished this month. I think the guy in the middle has appeared on a few sketch comedy shows.

Good video, lestat666, as a fan of Crowded House I especially enjoyed the Fall At Your Feet snippet.

Not to take the wind out of your sails, but a sketch similar to this was done a little while ago by a Melbourne trio who are appropriately named Tripod. Take a look, it's a medley of several Oasis songs with the same chords. As a fan of Oasis I enjoyed this a lot:

So, besides my birthday this week, here's another thing to remind me how old and stale I am: I only recognized seven songs.

Don't feel bad Gary. I didn't recognize a lot of them either. I think you've got to be young and hip. I think I must me too much of a square.

Haven't you guys heard?

It's hip to be square.

No actually I'm more Goody Two Shoes by Adam Ant.

If it's hip to be square than I must be the most-ischiaic person in the world.

Patrick Bateman says it's hip to be square!

PS: Oh yeah, that's not for your kids to watch. It's that scene from American Psycho, remember?

That scene was just completely messed up and sadistic.
I LOVE IT!

As far as the video i posted goes, not all the songs are based on those four chords necessarily... Just certain parts of the songs.

What's even funnier is that the novel to this film makes this performance look restrained. In Australia, the book is shrinkwrapped and can only be purchased by consumers over the age of 18.

Australia has always had a censorship problem =P

They have some of the strictest criteria out there, to the point of pc games having to change their gore level just to be released there.
