[ WP ] Upon waking up , the color purple is nonexistent

I know the band is called `` Deep Purple'', but this was the first thing to pop into my head, and I enjoyed it.

 I pick up my guitar and play that riff that everybody knows. 
 
 *Dun, dun, duunn. Dun, dun, du-nun. Dun, dun, dunn, dun duunn. * 
 
 `` Hey,'' my roommate pops his head over the edge of the bed. `` That's catchy, what song is it from?'' 
 
 `` I do n't know.'' 
 
 `` You do n't know?'' he retracts his head back into his bed. `` Did you just hear someone else playing it and decided to copy it or something?'' 
 
 `` I do n't think so.'' 
 
 `` It must be something like that,'' he springs from his bed and lands noiselessly on the floor in front of me. `` I heard Archie playing it in the commons yesterday.'' 
 
 `` He does n't know what it's from either.'' 
 
 `` He must, must n't he?'' he pulls a shirt on over his mess of hair. 
 
 `` No one knows what it's from, but everyone knows how to play it.'' 
 
 `` That's odd, is n't it? It must have come from somewhere.'' 
 
 `` I think it was about a month ago. All of a sudden, everyone that could play guitar, everywhere, could play this riff. Some could even play the entirety of a song with this in it, always the same thing, but no one knew what it was or what it was from. It's dreadfully easy, so some people have speculated that we could have all just come up with it ourselves, but that does n't explain why everyone plays it the same way or the people that can play the rest of the song.'' 
 
 `` Huh,'' he replies. `` Do you think you could teach it to me?'' 
 
 `` Yeah,'' I nod handing him the guitar. `` You start with an open e-string, then press your first finger down behind the third fret and pluck again. Finally, you press your third finger down right behind the fifth fret and strum.'' 
 
 `` Like this?'' 
 
 *Dun, dun, duunn. * 
 
 `` Perfect.''
