How To Make an X Song

On November 13th, 2018, Nat Puff posted a satirical video in which she outlines how to create a Frank Ocean song. She jokes that you only need one or two background instruments, no drums, and lyrics referencing, "nature, nostalgia, loneliness, and different names for weed that you didn’t know existed before." For the chorus, she says one needs only rip off a random 60s or 70s song, pitch shift it, and add lots of harmonies. To demonstrate this, she chooses "Take Me Home, Country Roads". Her tweet gained 11,000 retweets and 41,000 likes (shown below).
