I didn't listen to the original song or any remixes of it at all before I embarked on this project because I didn't want them to influence me. I went through a couple of different vibes before settling on this kind of funky 80s sound. I originally had a more complex hip-hop beat which I liked the idea of but felt like I needed something a lot simpler to hold it all together. I also originally used the synth loop which you hear in the instrumental throughout the whole song, but it was sounding too busy so I replaced it with the guitar loop. I felt like the song was begging for horns, so I chopped up and transposed a muted trumpet loop for the instrumental and then integrated it in a couple other places in the song so it wasn't limited to only that section. The final yell David Byrne does at the end didn't feel quite right to me, especially since I wanted it to be the punctuation at the end of the song, so I replaced it with one he does in the middle. Overall I had so so much fun making this and I'm super happy with it!
