337. the perfect formula for a pop song

after listening to the many pop songs, i came to a conclusion on how most current pop songs sound like.



in the first slightly positively gradiented line, the beat slowly builds up with the singer possibly saying some words.
then comes the first straight line part, which is the first verse, with an already established beat in the background.
suddenly, there will be an increase in the bass and amplitude of the beat, signalling the oncoming of the chorus.
after the chorus, comes the first trough of the graph, which is the second verse, which actually would be only slightly more thumpy than the first verse.
of course after the second verse, there would be the sudden influx of the second chorus, as seen by the second creat on the graph.
oh and here comes the "unique" part of such songs, the "lie down low" part. the beats will soften and become simpler, while the singer would either murmur something, or hire a rapper to rap out something (either way i would not understand what they are saying anyway).
then comes the final onslaughter where you party your hearts out to the most exciting part of the whole song, a few more even more hardcore choruses.
and after all that fun, you drop dead on the sofa while the chorus gradually fades out into the end of the song.

of course you throw in beats of around 120bpm and you are ready to make an "original" current pop song.
