HOTNebraskaGuy 19,547 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 It's when you're playing twister and have your hands and feet on the floor but you feel stretched so you let out that "oaaah" sound One, five, ten lay a million on me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondAngel 5,044 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the chorus of Venus is a good example of this? Edit: or the the verses in aura, especially the first four beats of the song before the songs "starts." Other users please correct me if I'm mistaken Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 26,836 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 A four on the floor beat is just the kick drum (i.e. the "heavy"/boom sounding drum) hitting on every beat in the bar. So if you listen to pretty much any pop song and clap along and that kic kdrum is coming in, then it's four on the floor. It's pretty common in dance music. It's quite convenient since this is a Gaga site since many of her hits have it. Just Dance, Poker Face, LoveGame, Bad Romance, Telephone, Born This Way, Judas and soooo many others have it.

The beat after the first Chorus of Highway Unicorn is also a good example ⟡ ⋆ ˚｡⋆🦢⋆ ˚｡⋆⟡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baduizm 551 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 listen to the drums. you can stomp your feet to 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4. When it's cut down it's basically the kick drum doing 4 quarter notes in a bar and the snare hitting on 2 & 4. Obviously there are variations on this too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty common now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giskardsb 12,565 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 its just a bass drum on every beat in 4/4 time. Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom. my one complaint about the BTW album is that the 4 on the floor gets exhausting and monotonous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
