Was "All About That Bass" inspired by "Don't Worry, Be Happy" ?
Here are the two songs playing simultaneously.
"Don't Worry, Be Happy" is transposed two half notes down.
And then, as you can hear... a perfect match!!!
Not that many song have such a similar structure.
Not that many songs can be played like that.
My son was playing "All About That Bass"
many, many times for many, many days...
Maybe you understand, it wasn't easy for me ;) It was always in my head,
I went to bed with it, and I woke up with it.
Maybe it was a defense mechanism, but at some point I started hearing a different song.
Yes, you guess right, I started hearing "Don't Worry, Be Happy" :) :) :)
"All About That Bass" became much more enjoyable to listen to.
Now these two song for me are inseparable together and I would like to share it with you.
It took me 40 minutes to remix the two songs.
Interestingly, according to Wikipedia
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_About_That_Bass ),
"All About That Bass" was written in 40 minutes as well.
Enjoy the REMIX !
