How to create the perfect pop song

This is pretty amazing. Just goes to show what you can do with some decent equipment and a little time. Many "artists" in the top 40 should expend the time and effort these guys did... and what a better world it would be.

Haha...yeah...that was pretty cool...and looked like lots of fun.

8 hours? Didn't Macca write Yesterday in 20 minutes? I'm willing to bet a lot of the songs we take for granted as timeless classics were written in 20 minutes or less. 8 hours seems an awfully long time to get it all together.

Absolutely right, Kyle. Paul, and others, were likely writing from inspiration, as opposed to these guys who were trying to make something fit a particular genre. It doesn't hurt that these two have what amounts to a full studio in their basement, where Paul, et al, would have had to demo into a tape recorder, work out parts for the others, etc.

As they point out, they did take a pretty decent break in the middle to fill up at Red Robin, too!
