This is horribly accurate, but still so funny. It's something that we never really think about unless we start singing the wrong song, or when someone takes sound bites from other songs, but the concept of four chords is real. Some people try to put the shame on it, saying that we should all feel bad for liking four chord songs and not realizing that the music industry is 'playing us for fools.' Think about the math though! In 2014 there was just under 1200 singles released plus 635 albums (averaging about 10 songs per album) and that just for one year. Think about if you added up every single song ever created by anyone. There are only so many notes and so many ways to string them together, so yes we have a lot of four chord songs, it will make creating mash ups easier. I applaud the artists that heard those four chords and in their mind created something completely different. It's the same as what happens if you tell an entire art class to draw the same bowl of fruit. All the paintings would look different, despite the commonality of the subject, why should music be any different? Think about it.
Peace.
