Does Meet Virginia use a well-known chord progression?

Yes! In G major: The four-chord pop progression (V → vi → IV → I) shows up in the chorus at 3:05 and 3:16. The big singalong loop: a little lift, a little heartache, and an easy way back home. The doo-wop progression (vi → IV → V → I) shows up in the interlude at 2:13 and the chorus at 3:10. That old-school slow-dance sound, with a gentle detour through minor before heading home. The ii–V–I progression (ii → V → I) shows up in the verse at 0:02 and 0:08. Jazz’s trusty route home: set up some tension, turn it up, then let it resolve. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (V → I → IV) shows up in the verse at 0:04 and 0:09. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
