Songwriter's Spotlight: Lawrenceburg Funk!

Earlier this week, we shared a behind the scenes look at songwriting in Briana's "Let's Break It Down" post. Today we feature Songwriter, Christa, and show how she and Yemani transformed Uptown Funk to reflect her love of her hometown! While songwriting is often completely original, Christa and Yemani did a song transformation, replacing Bruno Mars' lyrics with Christa's very own. After creating the lyrics, Christa and Yemani worked together to record and arrange the song. Christa performed "Lawrenceburg Funk" at the Spring Concert and it was an instant hit! She had the crowd clapping and cheering along- many were on their feet. Enjoy the web premiere of "Lawrenceburg Funk" and congratulate Christa on her Songwriter's Spotlight! 

Lawrenceburg Funk
2017
 
This pizza, that Northgate Mall   
Emma Watson, that Frozen movie
This one’s for Mom and Dad, Erin & Nina
Straight masterpieces!
 
Styling, swimming, livin’ it up in Lawrenceburg
I got chucks on with Bruno Mars
Gotta kiss myself I'm so pretty!
 
24K magic, call the police and the fireman
I'm too hot, like Spongebob
Make a dragon wanna retire, man
I'm too hot, like basketball            
Say my name you know who I am
I'm too hot, like Uno
                       
And we’re all about that music
Break it down...
 
Christa hit that drum
Christa hit that drum
Christa hit that drum
Cause Lawrenceburg Funk’s gonna give it to ya
Cause Lawrenceburg Funk’s gonna give it to ya
Saturday night and we in the spot
Don't believe me just watch (Come on)
 
Don't believe me just watch 4x
Hey, hey, hey, oh!
 
 
Stop, wait a minute
Fill my cup put a smoothie in it                         
Take a sip, sign a check, Yemani, get that drum!
                 
Ride to the zoo, Kings Island, Clifty Falls
We show up, gonna see the animals
Smoother than Meghan Trainor!
                       
  
 24K magic, call the police and the fireman
I'm too hot, like Spongebob
Make a dragon wanna retire, man
I'm too hot, like basketball            
Say my name you know who I am
I'm too hot, like Uno
                       
And we’re all about that music
Break it down...
 
Christa hit that drum
Christa hit that drum
Christa hit that drum
Cause Lawrenceburg Funk’s gonna give it to ya
Cause Lawrenceburg Funk’s gonna give it to ya
Saturday night and we in the spot
Don't believe me just watch (Come on)
 
Don't believe me just watch 4x
Hey, hey, hey, oh!
