Q: i noticed that in the chorus of "just did a bad thing," the melody always goes to the 5th of each chord. was that intentional? in your opinion, does that affect the grooviness of the song?
A: this is just part of mother nature. scientists believe that 52 to 68 percent of prominent melody notes are a 5th (plus octave(s)) above the bass note. and in 96 percent of those cases, there is at least one additional note in there playing a supporting harmonic role. but, i am eager to ask you a follow up question, which, as you may have guessed by now, is about your use of the letter E in your question exactly 13 times
