Saw list of popular Google searches for music-related names. Lady Gaga #1, Taylor Swift #2—but never heard of #3, Sabrina Carpenter. Wow, above Drake, Beyonce, Bruno Mars…

Wikipedia: Child star on Disney TV, age 25 now; acting roles; six albums since 2014, seems like girl-pop stuff—not my fave: why I'm clueless about her.

OK, picked one of her recent big vids, called "Taste." Watched…

Fuck, Toto. We're not in Kansas anymore.

RE: Whether it rests on key modulation - or, #keymodulation as a #SongWriting device, #popsong device, neck-massaging device. I haven't picked up the #guitar yet to figure it out, but i think i'm wrong: at least the timeline referenced. It's not modulation, but (Having not picked up the instrument) I believe it is "borrowed chords", as in borrowing chords from another key which is not necessarily analogous to modulation, and certainly-- potentially-- much more complicated!

Clearly
not-knowing
now bugs-me.

That's definitely a #piano #songwriter's song. Songwriter is a pianist. Elton John tunes are like that. In my #perceptual experience, in retrospect, I recall feeling that way about Kurt Cobain, the chord changes in nirvana songs (McCartney & Lennon, etc.).

That is to say, it's about the #melody you "hear" and the way it "sits in the chord" so to speak (the chord, which you also "hear" probably).

You can change those chords n shit.
People call that Jazz. Is that correct? That's i dunno.
Led Zeppelin?
Otherwise, it's Er!c Cl@p⸸on's bastardization of "the blues"; a "I , IV , V" (or make-it-fancy w/ a vi and a iii) an A-B-A-B-C #progression, or the other one.
Stray from the first inversion for a less "familiar" way of penetrating the ear hole. Like, "the stranger". Sitting on hands

"Remember Then" is a #popSong written by #TonyPowers and #BeverlyRoss, and first recorded in 1962 by #doowop vocal group #TheEarls. Original copies of The Earls' version, on the #OldTown #label, show only Powers as the writer, while some later versions give a writing or co-writing credit to #recordProducer Stan Vincent. #BMI lists all three as co-writers.

"The Loco-Motion" (or "#Locomotion") is a 1962 #popSong written by American songwriters #GerryGoffin and #CaroleKing. "The Loco-Motion" was originally written for R&B singer #DeeDeeSharp, but Sharp turned the song down. The song is especially notable for making three appearances in the American Top 3, each in a different decade: in 1962 by #LittleEva (U.S. No. 1); in 1974 by #GrandFunkRailroad (also U.S. No. 1); and in 1988 by #KylieMinogue (U.S. No. 3).
