Ob-la—di-Ob-La-da best pop-song ever --here is the proof

I guess I don’t like pop music.

 

Isn' t that Paul?

 

One bit of encouraging news is that listeners liked music that was not too predictable. They want to be surprised by the next chord, but not slapped in the face. A songwriter has to keep them engaged. That’s why so many formulaic pop songs fall flat.

 

I think it is too playfull and experimental to be labeled strictly a pop song. It's pop and comedy and reggae and jugband and children's music and nonsensical Paul at his best. It's a masterpiece of 60s pop art with a sense of humor.

 

It was selected as one of the demos in my second toy synthesizer, among such classics as "I'm Not in Love" and "Danny Boy".

 

nah

 

Not even Wouldn’t It Be Nice? C’mon! Even Sir Macca would disagree!

 

No, definitely John. He's taking the piss.

 

Based on Lennon’s own quotes.

 

"BAD"....AS IN "PHAT"?!!!I'M CONFUSED ...

 

The greatest pop record ever is "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5. For one thing, it's the perfect length for a single (just under 3 minutes,) instantly infectious even before the vocals kicks in, has a great guitar riff, strings, and background vocals, a killer groove (check out the bassline!) varied percussion, and you can dance to it. That's a scientific formula for the ages, kids.

 

It’s a piece of junk. Typical Paul bubblegum.

 

When they study the science of global warming, they are denigrated as deluded alarmists.

 

And this makes it less than the perfect POP song...how?

 

Whoa, whoa, whoa...you mean to tell me there's a difference between "this song/artist sucks" and "I don't like this song/artist"? Boy, some people on this forum are in for a surprise...

 

I like Obladi Oblada and the antipathy to it doesn't impress me, but best pop song ever? No way!

 

Terrible song.

Not even close to the best pop song.

"Good Vibrations" might be, though.

 

We are the Champions.
Queen's 'We Are The Champions' is the catchiest song ever, say scientists - NME

Africa.
What's The Best Song, According To Science?

 

It's almost like appreciation of music is subjective

 

This one says "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls, according to University of Amsterdam:
Top 10 catchiest pop songs of all time according to science

 

"Chord sequences from 30 of the songs were then played to 39 volunteers, stripped of lyrics and melody to make the source track unrecognisable. The volunteers were asked to rate how enjoyable they felt each chord to be"

so.....39 volunteers is what we're basing this on? and how is an individual chord supposed to deter......what am I doing. its Saturday night.....I need a life

 

Last few weeks, I've been going around work singing the hook of this song, and getting strange looks.
They look at me like a weirdo....
Scenario:
Them: 'Darn, the truck is delayed, we won't get our stock, we wont be able to process it,
we might have to stay back or work late.... dunno how we can fix it. ARRRRHHHH'
Me: Ob-Li-Di-Ob-La Da, life goes on..... ahhhhh! La La La La life goes on
Them: WTF?
Me:


Ok, Yeah I'm strange.

 

It's a horror.
