I've seen this video numerous times and feel like it let's non musicians in on an inside joke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pidokakU4I"]YouTube - Axis of Awesome - 4 Four Chord Song (with song titles) Let's see how many we can ad to the list Here's a couple more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh4se9YMV3A"]YouTube - J Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers - Last Kiss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac02hVqLV1Y"]YouTube - Frank Zappa - Bobby Brown Goes Down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LvS8qKMAs8"]YouTube - Frank Zappa - Go Cry On Somebody Else´s Shoulder 1966 Stay Brown, Rev J
whoa...freaky...those guys reminded me Corky and the juicepigs so I went to youtube and watched a bunch of C and JP vids then next thing you know it suggests the same vid you posted
Guns n Roses-used to love her Rolling Stones-Dead Flowers Nirvana-Smells like Teen Spirit dr. Dre-the next episode eagle eye cherry-save tonight weezer-island in the sun bob Dylan-all along the watchtower
Actually what I was looking for was the first clip all 36 of the songs were G-Em-C-D. So was Last Kiss, Bobby Brown, Go Cry on Somebody Else's Shoulder. So Are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbIcfFD30Ms"]YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vbg7YoXiKn0"]YouTube - Ben E. King - Stand by me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y49zZhNMIEk"]YouTube - Bob Marley And the Wailers-Chances Are Stay Brown, Rev J
I think they transposed some of those, I'm pretty sure 'under the bridge' is not those 4 chords I know the outro of that song changes to A maj.
You're probably right that I Maj-vi min-IV Maj-V Maj is a really common progression. Here's another oldie with that progression: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOA-2hl1Vbc"]YouTube - pachelbel's Canon in D--Soothing music(the best version) Here's something a little more recent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ36xmNHCvs"]YouTube - Blues Traveler - Hook It's funny how the lyrics to this really make the same point as the Axis of Awesome clip.

Haha, I've always loved that video. It never gets old; I've rewatched so many times. Here's one that has the same four chords, but starts on the vi instead of the I, and then goes through the same progression. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhN7SG-H-3k (I can't figure out how to embed videos like everyone has done) I had quite the argument with the fans of this piece over how simple it is, just for fun. Arguing for the sake of arguing on youtube is the best I also remember Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire is I-V-vi-IV the whole way through. On a side note, some guy did an act similar to Axis of Awesome's, based on Pachelbel's Canon in D (which I see has already been mentioned). It's quite funny, and I believe he did his before Axis. Both are still amazing comedy acts though. Here's the link to that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM
