And I Thought I Had Eclectic Taste in Music...

Yes, in my endeavor to actually focus and make real, tangible progress on homework, I got sucked in by YouTube again. It should be illegal for me to have internet access on a weekend that is supposed to be devoted to study.

Every song in this video I enjoyed on its own, never realizing how musically similar they all are. I had noticed several soundtracks, usually by the same composer, that used similar snippets of melody, but never had I noticed that the basic chord pattern was the same! Further searching turned up a slew of other, popular music, non-soundtrack songs (which, lets face it, tend to borrow endlessly from each other anyway) that feature THE SAME chord pattern. There are some trivial things that, albeit pointless in the grand scheme of things, absolutely blow my mind. This is one.
