Hardly any other musical style is that much associated with special attributes as funk is: a fancy outfit, a hot hairdo and an out-of-the-way mode of behaviour.
I Gotta Funk, Buddy also features an optional drum part. Why don’t you ask a drummer buddy of yours to even fit an improvised drum solo into the piece?
This might prompt the audience to jump up to their feet.
