Lyrics:
You're up and you'll get down
You never running from this town
Kinda think you said
You'll never get anything better than this
'Cause you're going round in a circle
And everyone knows you're trouble
'Cause you read it in a big book
And now you're giving me the look look
But just remember how we shook shook
And all the things we took took
This town's the oldest friend of mine
You never running from this town
Kinda think you said
You'll never get anything better than this
'Cause you're going round in a circle
And everyone knows you're trouble
'Cause you read it in a big book
And now you're giving me the look look
But just remember how we shook shook
And all the things we took took
This town's the oldest friend of mine
Get up and we get down
We're always running round this town
And to think they said
We'd never make anything better than this
'Cause we're always in small circles
And everyone thinks we're trouble
We didn't read it in the big book
And now we're giving you the look look
Just remember how we shook shook
And all the things we took took
This town's the oldest friend of mine
We're always running round this town
And to think they said
We'd never make anything better than this
'Cause we're always in small circles
And everyone thinks we're trouble
We didn't read it in the big book
And now we're giving you the look look
Just remember how we shook shook
And all the things we took took
This town's the oldest friend of mine
Unique Selling Point:
The song itself already has a mass popularity despite the band not being very well-known, its catchy nature really helps the song appeal to the audience.
However for our recording we tend to sustain these catchy properties however adjust and expand upon them. Firstly, using a girl for our vocals adds a completely different vibe to the track than that of the original, making it much softer, I personally believe expanding its audience even further by still sustaining the catchy elements.

Furthermore we plan to add elements such as a clapping recording as a part of the beat.
