Desi: Hey bhai bro how was the
beat of the song
Non-Desi: Sounded Ding-A-Ling-A to me.
Desi: Bhai bro you
mean it started on a tonic, went up by a semitone, played that note eight times, did that whole sequence three times, then went up by another semitone on the fourth bar.
Non-Desi:
Like C-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D C-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D C-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D C-D-Eb-Eb-Eb-Eb-Eb-Eb-Eb
Desi: Haan
