Our cover band, "Copy/Paste", played this at a gig a few weeks ago and we were very impressed with the response.  Pretty easy to play on bass, with only 2 sections which repeat throughout.

This song came up at our Halloween gig.  Near the end of the night, our singer asked if there were any requests.  A group near the front yelled out "Word Up!"  Great song, but it wasn't one we had rehearsed.  Some band members were not familiar with it.  

Turns out, for bass, it's not a complicated song to play.  The hard part is staying focused and hitting that consistent groove each progression.  Even in this video, I made a little mistake at 3:12 when hitting a note I shouldn't have. D'oh!

Word Up!

I took a crack at this one mostly as a personal challenge.  It's a great little song, but not likely any of my cover bands will want to attempt.  But the bass groove is so cool, even if it was recorded on a keyboard.  I couldn't find any good tabs, so as part of the challenge, I tabbed it out myself.
