But it is a fake. There are alternate Hey Jude ‘s. Some where they play with keys, and styles. None with backing singers.

Yep it’s fake, uploader mentions it so… but still it’s amazing to hear it in minor.

Imagine applying that technology to other songs.
Can you play “Eleanor Rigby ” in a major key?

Lol how could a singer sing it in a lively way whereas the lyrics are very sad in a good way.

Haha, somehow the process also miraculously changed the image of 1982 Michael Jackson to 1987 Michael Jackson!

Those were both very interesting. Hey Jude just doesn’t sound right in a minor key, but I kinda liked Beat It in a major key.

Offline This is really interesting… I kinda like it, but the end is fighting to be happy despite the minor! Wait … no it’s just getting sadder… Now it seems back and forth sad, happy… I don’t know, but it’s quite interesting.
Sadly the Beat It video doesn’t work… What’s funny is at one point Michael Jackson owned both of those songs!

Offline That “Hey Jude ” was kinda perturbing to me, ’cause the original always sounded to me like it was in a minor key already. Thought I had the ability to differentiate just from hearing (and often do) but that one’s misleading. I’m sure someone here has the musical knowledge to explain why it fools me so (though probably not in a way I can easily understand.)
Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Yes Vontee, the original in the major key of F does have a minorish feel. I think it’s because the melody is flirting with a melody that would also fit into the minorish mode called “Dorian” which would use Gm7 to C (In Hey Jude , we have Bb and C7, which are similar).
There’s one major problem, however, with converting it to minor: the signature melodic leitmotif — the two notes sung for the title words, “Hey Jude …” strongly dip down from a C to an A note for the dominant F major chord (also the key of the whole song); and it is precisely the A note that makes the F chord a major chord!
That signature melodic motif (“Hey Jude …”) are practically as famous and familiar to our ears as the first four notes of Beethoven’s 5th.
