People use a lot of different notes in songs. What are the best notes to use to ensure it's a good song?
White notes. White is the sign of good. Black notes are the sign of bad. Avoid black notes at all costs, unless you want to consort with the deveil.
Is this a parody?
I like to use middle C, myself. I use it as much as I can. In fact, I've written some songs that only use C. I also prefer whole notes. Why use only a part of a note, when you can get maximum value.Use the ones everyone else uses in good songs. Then you will sound exactly like they do. Easy as PI.
Ok...I'm new here, so I'm still learning the degree of sarcasm that some members employ....and it runs pretty thick apparently.
I am admittedly baffled as to the vagueness of the question by the OP .

I am admittedly baffled as to the vagueness of the question by the OP who is a 7K plus posted member of long standing. Maybe it was a thought that randomly escaped whilst pondering the existence of the universe, or maybe it's an inside joke?
anyhow. I'm going to answer my honest opinion regardless.
I gravitate to Am usually, and sometimes C. I find My Am songs are the down and dirty emotional songs, and my C stuff is the more upbeat fun songs. I also find that I can most comfortably sing in this range of scales, so it's natural to linger in this region.
And, clearly, the best word to use in a song is "bird."See pic. Surfin Bird is in E . . . choc-a-bloc full of black notes. No wonder it has been the ruin of so many:
