    • @nathan87
      @nathan87 Před 3 lety

      Uptown Funk is a mediocre pastiche of funk from decades before, successful only because the audience was young enough to never have been familiar with the original. With cringe lyrics like name-dropping Michelle Pfeiffer for no reason ("look! I said the name of somebody stylish! I'm cool?!!! Right guys?!!!") it was always annoying as hell. Little wonder that some proper bass playing can improve it.
