    Dance Monkey Shake It Off


    (originally by Tones & I) (originally by Taylor Swift)

    ORIGINAL ORIGINAL
    Tempo not that fast (95 BPM) and the track
    Horns at the back gives it brassy feel. Tempo
    is 3,5 min long. A lot of FM were used and
    bass was synthesised to make it more EDM is fast (160 BPM) which makes it more
    like. Lyrics repeat a lot which is the R’n’R similar to R’n’R. Text is very repetative and
    feature. the lyrics content about dancing, love, etc.
    Which also makes it more R’n’R like. The
    track is quite long ( minutes) because of
    repeating. The key is C maj and theres only 3
    chords been played (Am, C, G).

    A lot faster than original(130 BPM) so Starting with keys playing boogie woogie
    sounds like a lot of R’n’R tracks (for style, later drums come in. Quite faster than
    example, Tutti Frutti by Little Richard or the original (170 BPM) but normal for R’n’R.
    Blue Suede Shoes by Elvis Presley). Have Piano style playing and walking double bass
    walking bass and more powerful voicing playing makes it sound more like early R’n’R
    which makes it sound more rock. Because with jazzy/bluesy feel. Cover using 12 bb
    track is quicker its also shorter than original structure with extended chords which is the
    (3,5 original, 2,5 cover). Scat and stop time main structure for R’n’R.
    at the end sounds like an old school rock.
