Thank you so much for this thoughtful reply!

Confession time, I was going off the memory of playing early in the morning while half drunk, haha. And I was particularly fixated on the exact phrase you called out as being in Bb major... that F works too well and was really calling out to me there. I do remember thinking "maybe G minor?" but I was so wrapped up in that hook!

I haven't made time to revisit the song yet but I'm quite sure I'll find your analysis to be correct. I've always been good at playing by ear but lately I'm teaching myself music theory and while I still get things wrong I still enjoy learning through the mistakes! This is what I love about music.

Thanks for the other recommendations as well! Chord progressions are the latest thing I've come around to understanding, and yeah once you get familiar with one you start clocking it everywhere in popular music. The Doo Wop progression is one of my favorites to play around with. I'll check out your links next time I get to play, thanks again!

Oh yeah that "Just The Two Of Us" progression is lovely! Exciting
