Camera Talk


You know, there is so much about this song that I like that I can't just put it as a status. For one thing, that is one of the most infectious drum beats I've ever heard. It hooks you right into the song. The thing about these guys specific to this song is form. The whole song has one progression which goes over and over, but the organization is key. Verse, Chorus, verse, chorus, chorus, verse with no lyrics, and a rounded chorus at the end to leave you wanting to play it again and again. But this song has a peculiar detail about it which I can't ever ignore. In the chorus, right where they say "The camera's talkin' Oooooooh," the ooooh makes the song, because almost every time they extend the notes in that syllable; the one exception being from the first chorus to the second, but the last chorus has the complete idea, and after I hear it once, I have to hear it at least one more time, it's that captivating. The details in this song are what makes it; the drums, the harmonies, the oooooh, and finally, the abrupt ending.
