I just figured out that the chorus to "just did a bad thing" has chord progression Db+: ii-IV-I-V, and that the "bing, bong, bay ohh" is just a broken V chord. How do you make something so simple sound so refreshing, new, and inherently good? I'm really intrigued by your music.
i think the answer, in this case, is to listen to at least 10,000 songs in the top 40 music charts throughout the past 200 years. then i think you will find that doing the type of stuff you described above will become as simple and joyful as a casual stroll through the park at breakfasttime. eventually you may even do it in your sleep
