Mic check 1, 2… It’s your boy DJ M-80 on the 1’s and 2’s bringing you that flavor in your ear for Tunes Tuesday. If you are unfamiliar with the format, every Tuesday we pick a theme and I highlight three songs that you can add to your running or workout playlist. This week’s theme is Uptown Funk Elements, this song having been lighting up the charts and the air waves. If you haven’t heard it by now please get from underneath your rock and turn on the radio. This week spurred from a conversation that Mrs. 300 PAR and I had about what song and/or song did this track sample. After further investigation we found out this song did not use any samples. However, I told the misses about a technique that they use in the music business when they can’t get a sample cleared and that when they have a musician come in play the elements of the song that they want to sample. So I did a little digging in the creates and I found the songs which that they borrowed from to make Uptown Funk. Enjoy…
For starters here’s Uptown Funk
Element: Guitar Riff
Artist: New York Skyy
Title: Call Me
Quotable:“Here’s my number and a dime, call me anytime”
Element: Drums
Artist:Gap Band
Title:Party Train
Quotable:“If you miss that train; Don’t miss the party train.”
Element: Synths
Artist: The Time
Title: Cool
Quotable: “I wear the finest perfume money can buy; It keeps me smellin’ like a rose”
There you have it three elements of Uptown Funk.
