This tune was inspired by the comedic musical genius of Simon Fransman, and his Coltrane Changes reharmonisation of Katy Perry's 'Roar'. The title comes from a comment left by a user in response to another comment that stated 'this sounds like s***'
This chart is very difficult throughout, featuring a nasty bop head over tricky, fast moving changes. There is solo space for alto sax, and piano, as well as a sax soli, and a full band trading-4's shout section with drums. There are also a few not-so-subtle Katy Perry and Coltrane reference throughout... Enjoy!
