Chosen song

The song by Cover Drive that I will be using is called Bajan Style. I feel this song is the type of the song where everyone from all ages can enjoy as it is just about having fun and letting loose and that can be aimed at all ages, but particularly younger people to young adults from ages 15-25. I feel the song is very different and new to the British audience as it is a genre we do not hear often in the charts. I feel that as this song is a Caribbean song, I wanted to challenge conventions as the song is about 'doing it Bajan Style' I would have to shoot it in England but i feel that the lyrics aren't necessarily about being in the Caribbean but to spread the Caribbean culture to the whole world, so by shooting it in England, it shows that the Bajan culture is being reached to all parts of the world and it shouldn't matter where in the world it should be shot as it is about doing it Bajan Style no matter who you are or where you are.






Here are the lyrics to the song: 

Me and my boys got the crowd on lock. 
Got the people jumping no they just won't stop, 

Why you gotta stand there with your arms crossed tight, 
You need to loosen up and do it Bajan Style, 

Oh! Don't you know we chill like that. 
Oh! Let the music wind you back, 
Oh! Keep talking see my eyes roll back, 
Don't you go and give yourself a heart attack, 

Nothing can stand in your way, 
If music flows in your veins, 
Dance all your troubles away, 
Lay back cause that's how we play, 

You need to do it Bajan Style, 
You need to do it Bajan Style, 
That's How we do it Bajan Style, 
You need to do it Bajan Style, 
That's How we do it, 
Yo, yo tell dem how we do it, a yo! A yo! 

Me and my boys gatta appetite for life 
We know what we want and we do what we like, 
Why don't you let go of all the things on your mind, 
Try to loosen up and do it Bajan Style, 

Oh! Don't you know we chill like that. 
Oh! Let the music wined you back, 
Oh! Keep talking see my eyes roll back, 
Don't you go and give yourself a heart attack, 

Nothing can stand in your way, 
If music flows in your veins, 
Dance all your troubles away, 
Lay back cause that's how we play, 

You need to do it Bajan Style, 
You need to do it Bajan Style, 
That's How we do it Bajan Style, 
You need to do it Bajan Style, 
That's How we do it! 

You gotta learn to sit pon de riddim sway with the music, 
Oh yeahh, oh yeahh 

De music got to sink into your system you cannot refuse it. 
Oh yeahh, oh yeahh 

Oh oh oh 
Ohhh! 
Nothing can stand in your way, 
If music flows in your vains, 
Oh oh oh ohhh! 
Dance all your troubles away, 
Lay back cause that's how we play, 

You need to do it Bajan Style, 
You need to do it Bajan Style, 
That's How we do it Bajan Style, 
You need to do it Bajan Style, 
That's How we do it!




Here is a live version of the song. As I will be playing the role of Amanda, I am observing how she moves when she sings as I can then imitate these actions and moves for the video.
