When developing the group piece, we looked trying to add a bit of comedy by adding songs in that were more up to date.

Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus and Friday by Rebecca Black were two immediate songs that came to mind. We thought that because these both received widespread media attention for the nature of both the songs. We'd be able to play with the idea of parodying the songs to make the audience laugh.

In Wrecking Ball, it was thought that if we were to be melodramatic when singing it, it would give that comical effect. This was my role to make it funnier. When rehearsing this piece, the other people in my group would start to sing in harmony with me and then look very confusing at the way I was portraying the song. Also, the context of the lyrics of Wrecking Ball played a big part in being able to act the song out.

Friday was a song that didn't feature in the original 4 chord song by Axis of Awesome but we wanted to include this song because we felt it would change the mood of the piece. We sang Wake Me Up by Avicii before this song came in. We used it because we thought it would be comical for the audience giving how much this song was ridiculed for it's very basic lyrics.
