    Drone (music)

    In music, a drone is a harmonic or monophonic effect or accompaniment where a note or chord is continuously sounded throughout most or all of a piece. The word drone is also used to refer to any part of a musical instrument that is just used to produce such an effect, as is the archaic term burden (bourdon or burdon) such as, "the drone [pipe] of a bagpipe," the pedal point in an organ, or the lowest course of a lute. Burden also refers to a part of a song that is repeated at the end of each stanza, such as the chorus or refrain.

    The term comes from the French bourdon, a staff; or a pipe made in the form of a staff. "The drone does not take its name from the bee. It is a far older word," sharing an Indo-European root ("dhran, to drone, to hum") with the Sanskrit "dhran", the Greek "thren-os", and the English "thrum", "drum", and "dream".

    Musical effect

    "Of all harmonic devices, it [a drone] is not only the simplest, but probably also the most fertile."

    A drone effect can be achieved through a sustained sound or through repetition of a note. It most often establishes a tonality upon which the rest of the piece is built. A drone can be instrumental, vocal or both. Drone (both instrumental and vocal) can be placed in different ranges of the polyphonic texture: in the lowest part, in the highest part, or in the middle. The drone is most often placed upon the tonic or dominant (play "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" with a drone on the  tonic , on the  dominant , or on  both . Compare with  changing chords .). A drone on the same pitch as a melodic note tends to both hide that note and to bring attention to it by increasing its importance.

    G.T.O.

    by: Eric Burdon

    In Biloxi Mississippi on a street called Waterloo
    At the roadhouse where the highway
    Doe's a little number there with a 42
    On a chasin' for some lovin'
    On a humid afternoon
    She's delightedhe's a quitter
    He probably never will deliver
    So she leaves him with his rock 'n' roll tunes
    But he's still got the GTO
    And he still loves to drive that road
    He's still got a GTO mighty good
    It's kind of gold
    On the blue team in Virginia
    Another weekend maneuver
    On a weekend with per diem
    A lot of work there for democracy
    There's a governor from assembly
    Reciting good poems from his memory
    And all of his money in his money jar
    He traded for one muscle car
    But he's still got the GTO
    And he still loves to drive that road
    He's still got a GTO mighty good
    It's kind of gold
    In Malibu California
    There's a surfer do you remember
    He used to ride the big kahuna
    With Robin and Finesse
    They used to call him super hooter
    He used to rock there to wooly bully
    He's the one you can see him on the beach
    They call him old man
    Checking out the girls and their cars
    But he's still got the GTO
    And he still loves to drive that road
    He's still got a GTO mighty good
    It's kind of gold
    Hahaha
    My GTO
