DJ Earworm - United State of Pop 2009 (Blame It on the Pop) - Mashup of Top 25 Billboard Hits


I know you want pop, you want dance, you want rock and roll

You wanted boom boom? This year’s remix got symphonic soul

I got pop, I got dance, I got rockin’ electronic club beats,

I got hip-hop music with the future flow,

So don’t worry, even if the sky is falling down, down, down

Gonna be ok when it knocks you down, down, down,

So baby don’t worry, it’s alright, a-alright when it knocks you down

When you go down, when you go down down

No need to worry, just pick back up when you’re tumbling down, down, down (down, down)

It’s like I’ve been awakened

Every step I’m taking

Every rule I had you breaking

Every move I’m making

The risk that I’m taking

The chances I’m taking

With a big smile on my face

And it never seems out of place

Blame it on the pop, blame it on the dance, blame it on the rock and roll

Blame it on the rumba, so in sync with the symphonic soul

I like that pop, I like that bass, I like them rockin’ electronic club beats

Blame it on the hip-hop music with the future flow

Baby, don’t worry, it’s alright, a-alright when it knocks you down

Somewhere far along this road,

Stressed out, I wanna let it go, I feel down, down, down (baby are you down, down, down, down, down)

And oh, (hey) I’ve been traveling on this road too long (too long)

Just trying to find my way back home (back home)

The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone

I gotta feeling

Woo hoo

I found God

Blame it on the pop, blame it on the dance, blame it on the rock and roll

Blame it on the feeling of the music deep insi-i-i-ide your soul

We got the pop, we got the dance, we got the rockin’ electronic club beats

We got the hip-hop music with the future flow

People in the place

Put your put your hands in the air

Now put your hands up, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Forever united here,

Blame it on the po-po-po-po-poker face po-po-poker face

So live your life (hey!)

Let’s live it up (Ho!)

If you wanna get down (Hey!)

down (Ho!) down (Hey!)

Muh muh muh muh (Ho!)

I wanna get down, (hey!) down, down (Ho!)

So baby, don’t worry, it’s alright, a-alright when it knocks you down

When you go down, when you go down down

No need to worry, just pick back up when you’re tumbling down, down, down (down, down)

Blame it on the pop, blame it on the dance, blame it on the boom boom boom

Gotta get that rumba, blame it on the 808 with the boom boom boom

Gotta get that pop, gotta get that dance, gotta get that boom boom pow

I gotta get, I gotta get this year’s remix with the future sound.

I gotta feeling,

But I never really had a doubt,

that tonight’s gonna be a good night,

that tonight’s gonna be a good night,

and I say the same thing every single time

you know that I could use somebody, (woo hoo)

Open up your plans and damn your free (Hey!)

Look into your heart and you’ll find love, love, love

Stop stop stop feeling down, down, down

Can’t you see love, love love?

Isn’t this easy feeling love, love love?

Down down down,

It’s like I’ve been awakened

Can’t you see every step I’m taking

Don’t be afraid

The risk that I’m taking

Can’t you see, I’ve had a little too much feeling down, down, down

Can’t you see every move I’m making

Every rule I had you breaking

Isn’t this easy feeling love, love, love

We’ll make it out of this mess.

Change your mind

Baby just say yes,

Da da da da da da da da da da..……

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Will this be on iTunes?

--No, not the iTunes store, but it can be in your iTunes for free. Download it from my website, djearworm.com. You don't need to pay the iTunes store to put free mp3s in your iTunes software, you just download the mp3 and then double-click on it (or drag it into your iTunes if that doesn't work).

2. Why is that artist I hate in your list, and why isn't that artist I love in your list?

--This is based on the Top 25 songs of Billboard's 2009 year-end list. I didn't choose the songs. The complete list is here: http://www.billboard.com/charts-year-...

3. Why is that song from last year in the list? Why isn't that song which was so popular toward the end of the year on the list?

--Billboard's cutoff date is Dec 1st, to give them time to calculate the results and publish them well before New Years Day, which is good for me, since I need a little time to put this together and release it before the end of the year!

4. How long did this take you?

--If you add it up, about a month. About two weeks earlier in the year using educated guesswork, and then two weeks between when Billboard released the list and when I put it out.

5. What software did you use?

--Ableton Live for arranging the music. It's AWESOME, and it's what I use to DJ live with as well. Final Cut Pro for the video. For acapella extraction, see the next question.

6. How did you get the vocals without the instruments?

--if you search for "acapella" with the name of your song, you might find an isolated vocal. In some cases, I use a bit of Adobe Audition (the Center Channel Extractor effect) for vocal isolation. This removes instruments that are to the left or right in your stereo, and leaves only the sound that's in the center. You can also use this effect to take an instrumental and a full track to create an acapella. Check out my book "Audio Mashup Construction Kit" for more details on this technique, there's a whole chapter on it. In a few instances I used Melodyne Studio for vocal isolation.

7. What are the lyrics? Who sang that one part? I didn't hear that one artist!

--I've posted the complete lyrics here, as well as a guide to where each of the lyrics and instruments came from:
