How to Get a Number One Song - Boyinaband, Roomie

I have a dream to make the best pop song that the world has ever seen

But everything (-thing, -thing, -thing, -thing)

Every song I release-lease-lease, it doesn’t even get in the top 17

Even though I made the chord progression bland and predictable

Stick to same note when I sing and I’ll

Periodically throw in meaningless syllables (Eh, eh, eh)

It’s vague enough to relate to, I can make you bang the bass with a great tune

I can make a catchy synth pattern on my strangely small keyboard (Eh, eh, eh)

It’s not too heavy, it’s not too light (Light)

Just edgy enough for the clubs but not so much that people won’t go and buy

But though it’s perfect, I don’t know why

My song won’t get to number one

'Cause you didn’t get a Swedish guy to produce it

A Swedish guy to write your song

A Swedish guy to produce it

You won’t climb up the charts without a -berg, -ström, or a -sson

So why do I need a Swedish guy?

We’re top of the pops, look on Wikipedi-eye

Brittany, Pink, you guys made the hits

Let me change this bit, å, ä, ö

You’re gonna be major rich from these scenes

Yeah, we got the seventh largest GDP

And the most hit tricks per capita

So make the beat trap and and add a sax here

Woah, that beat is cash -- No, that beat is Krona

And I pay my relatively high taxes just with my strangely small keyboard

Sweden’s just the best at making all the pop

I don’t know why, but Swedish people have a way of getting to the top

You need Swedish guy to produce it

A Swedish guy to write your song

If something’s new in electronic music

Just take it from Beatport and put it after this part

Falk and Rami took on One Direction

Made their chart positions go up like the wrong inflection

Denniz Pop made Cheiron, took the charts and jacked them

Max Martin’s on more number ones than Michael Jackson

Yo, Ishi bringing British pop to the mainstream

Redone went gaga with his insane beats

Shellback’s jams got a rock flair

Makes a stronger correlation between talent and long hair

Alternative bands give thanks to Jay Orpin

And you’ve got Bogren, Thordendal, and Nordstrom

Avicii went to new levels -- Wait, what?

I almost forgot, we’re even better at metal

Ah!

You produce this?

In the pit or in the clubs, it’s still our music

Every country that came and tried, they lost

Because it’s just not the same without the sideways cross

So get a Swedish guy to produce it

A Swedish guy to write your song

But saying that is ironic

Because Swedish people don’t tend to be patriotic
