This reminds me of this recent popular YouTube mashup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vapt5C3yDeY

6 recent hit country songs combined into one. They blend into each other perfectly.

That seems to be some random guy just reposting. Didn't know youtube had "blogspam" before

That's hilarious, but it sounds like those tunes were pitch shifted into the same key. Nashville producers have more skill than that. Oh, and FL/GA line is frigging awful.

The pitch and tempos are shifted, but more nefariously, the pieces of the songs which don't fit the VI-I-V progression are removed and replaced by pieces of other songs which do fit. It's deliberate and meticulous cherry-picking. The only thing all the songs have in common is that they're in 4/4 and the verses and choruses all start on the VI chord. I should make a table showing the actual chord progressions from each song and how the creator deliberately masked out the parts of each song which are different from the baseline the creator chose.

(replying to self) I charted out the chord progressions of the six songs for comparison:

Please do, that would be an interesting companion piece to this.

[Jgrubb]

That would require you to listen to and chart out these 6 mediocre songs. I wouldn't ask you to do that. You've got a music background, I take it?

[baddox]

And now I've done it: http://baddox.github.io/six_country_songs.html

I listened to them last night, and started the chart. Should be ready tomorrow. A couple of the songs are actually decent. :)

Please, if you do it, let us know.

I took a stab at it:

And time-stretched.

FL/GA line?

[Jgrubb]

The worst band in that mashup - Florida/Georgia Line. (diatribe about my upbringing in Georgia redacted)
