Name That Tune (Really Difficult One)

Yep. I did. No joy there, though.

This is actually an interesting exercise that's kind of like that "telephone game". It's fascinating to see how different people interpret my stupid clues differently.

To my mind, the main clue is the whole "single chord" deal. Yet, every song guys have posted has normal chord progressions. Some are slower paced than others, but they all have progressions. The song from Hell doesn't. That's what makes it so unusual and I know for a certain, absolute fact that there are very few songs ever recorded or released that use one chord throughout the verses. U2 has done it, but not many others.

It is tough to find that. Some songs are close but they aren't close to the one you describe.

When I think of songs with one guitar chord over and over I think of March Of the Pigs by Nine Inch Nails but, even it changes later.

It's hard to think of songs like that...

Another shot, mostly check and see if this sounds like the singer. I've heard some Modest Mouse in the grocery stores around here lately.

This is the first song that popped into my head after reading what FAX was looking for. It will stay in your head for days and the ba ba ba ba ba ba bahaha kind of fits his description.

Multiple chords.

Yeah, there are other inconsistencies, too. Like I said, I mainly just wanted him to listen to the signer.

I don't even know what that means. I'm not going to be much help.
