    of the song was as high as it could be. I do not like how Royal Crown Revue covered the song either because I think that their efforts to use a higher tempo with a saxophone as the main instrument gives a false representation of the lyrics. There is also a lack of instruments as I only heard the symbols and snare drums with the saxophone. I think if a song is going to have more instruments then it should be played and sung a different way.

The instruments that made up the sound consisted of a piano and a saxophone. The song was medium in tempo and I really liked its melody and lyrics. The next song played was Jean Knight’s Tutu. The lyrics to this song caught my attention; it was very comical to me. She was basically telling a man that he can’t mess with
