"Don't Worry, Be Happy" in minor key

The original sounds better but I like the idea of this.

Wish I understood musical theory....:(

I would really like to get inside a musicians head for a day. Find out how they go about using one key over another. That kinda stuff. Is it purposeful, or do they just write the songs and tweak them until they sound right?
 
Needs the original video clip playing in the background, because to this day it remains some next level shit.
 
Yeah. Not diggin it. At all. Sorry.

It's not something you're supposed to "dig". You're supposed to be amused by it. A song that is usually the epitome of upbeat and cheerful is turned into a song that comes across as sarcastic just by changing the song from a major key to a minor key
 
The Happy Godfather is definitely the best of songs converted to major. Californication doesn't sound bad in major, either.
 
It's cool, very interesting to say the least. The final countdown in major key is better just because it's painfully bad lol.
 
It sounds like something that could have been on the first 2 Beatles albums. It actually sounds like it fits better in a minor key.
 
That sounds badass. The difference is slight with "Don't Worry" but it's a really cool effect. My boyfriend could barely hear it, but I love it.

I'm not amused, either.

It doesn't right, and it sounds like it was edited in a half ass way. At least Hey Jude sounds like it could have been done in a minor key.
 
most of the songs just sound off. however, i think it would be funny if a band did this during one of their concerts just to see the crowd's reaction.
