I would be if I'd asked a sensible question. You can't apply schenkerian analysis to most pop music, it relies on an assumption that a composer is consciously working to start and return to a key center via modulation across the duration of a work. The whole concept totally falls apart with informally composed music or ambiguous keys.

As far as the ambiguous key centers thing...lifted straight out of a research textbook I had around for the essay I just handed in. Marrianne Tatom Letts. Good read actually.
