I’m interested in a particular kind of pop song: mainstream-ish tracks that are so minimal in their melodic or lyrical content that they barely qualify as “songs,” yet manage to still be musically compelling. My paradigmatic examples:
“That’s The Way (I Like It)” by KC and the Sunshine Band
“Around The World” by Daft Punk
“Turn Down For What” by DJ Snake and Lil Jon
“Combination Pizza Hut And Taco Bell” by Das Racist
Calling these songs “simple” is not totally accurate, since the first three in my list feature lavish production. Still, the parts you can sing yourself are simple.
