Changes we have made to the original to make the song funk rather than pop:-Gave the song a heavier sound-Use of guitar riffs-Repetitive rhythms-vocal style full of chants and exclamations-Memorable and repetitive bass lines-Tempo of 135-Sharp stops and chokes in the song-Breakdown instrumental sections-Ad-lib vocals-Upbeat drums-Higher register guitar partsWe came up with this list together which is why it is identical our blogs but it is efficient and describes the changes accurately. We have taken inspiration from a lot of funk artists with the changes we have made. We listened to a lot of funk to inspire our cover and make it as funky as possible
