"A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

A couple days ago, I learned the organ part in "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You."  I don't think that the organ part itself is worth recording and posting, but - provided I figured it out correctly - it has an interesting feature.

It alternates between two pairs of notes.  For instance, after "Girl," it's A & C, Bb & D, and then back to A & C.  After "I don't wanna fight," it moves down for F & A, G & Bb, and then back to F & A.  After "I'm a little bit wrong," it's back to A & C and Bb & D, and after "You're a little bit right," it's back to F & A and G & Bb.  It continues that way throughout the rest of the chorus.

Those two pairs of notes have a note in common: A & C and F & A have A in common, and Bb & D and G & Bb have Bb in common.  So, musically, there's an element that's "A little bit me" and "A little bit you too."
