Harmonia ma dwanaście dźwięków. Daje to nieskończenie wielką liczbę kombinacji, dzięki czemu nowe, oryginalne piosenki powstają cały czas i nic nie zapowiada, żeby proces ten miał się kiedykolwiek zakończyć.

Czasem jednak - a tak naprawdę dość często, tylko nie zawsze to widać na pierwszy, ani nawet na drugi rzut oka - dwie pozornie całkiem różne piosenki okazują się być oparte na identycznej kombinacji dźwięków i rytmów.

I za każdym razem, kiedy odkrywam taką kombinację, jestem szczerze zdumiony. No bo jakże to tak?

Na przykład "White Christmas" oraz "Gangnam Style", dwa wielkie hity, okazują się pasować do siebie idealnie:

Ale ja dziś nie o tym. Ja dziś o innych dwóch hitach, które również okazują się być jakby pisane przez tego samego kompozytora: "Hit the Road, Jack" oraz "Fever":

A tu słowa:

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more

I never knew how much I love you

I never knew how much I care

But when you put your arms around me

I get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever when you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever in the morning

Fever all through the night

Woman oh woman don't you keep me so mean

You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen

Well I guess if you say so

I'm gonna have to pack my bags and go (that's right)

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more (oh you give me fever)

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more

You see the sun lights up the daytime

And the moon lights up the night

I light up when you call my name

And you know I'm gonna treat you right

Yes you know I'm gonna treat you right

Don't care if you do 'cos it's understood

You ain't got no money you just ain't no good

Well I guess if you say so

I'll just have to pack my bags and go (that's right)

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more (one more time)

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more

'Cos everybody's got the fever

That is something we all know

Fever isn't such a new thing

Fever started long ago

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more

Don't you come back no more

Don't you come back no more (oh yeah)

Don't you come back no more

Don't you come back no more (oh please one more time)

Don't you come back no more

'Cos everybody's got the fever (don't you come back no more)

That is something we all know (don't you come back no more)

Fever isn't such a new thing (don't you come back no more)

Fever started long ago

Well I never knew how much I loved you

I never knew how much I cared

Girl when you put your arms around me

I get a fever that's so hard to bear (hey)

Everybody's got the fever

That is something we all know

Fever isn't such a new thing

Fever started long ago (that's right)

(everybody)

(hey)
