An homage to Otis Redding on the pod

This episode includes some reharmonization of “(Sittin’ on) The Dock of The Bay” to show how goofy it would sound if Otis had used the “correct” chords from the key of G major. I want to do more of these kinds of “remixes” in future episodes, I like the idea of making songs worse by changing them and then seeing why the originals are better.

Otis Redding’s strange and lovely chord progression shows the limits of Western European tonal theory
