One of my favorite Tower of Power songs, maybe only outdone by Down to the Nightclub.

This guy, JP asked me late on Monday last week if I wanted to help him cover The Great Curve at open mic on Wed. I was at work all day on Tues and then I went to an open mic after work, so I didn't get to start on it until Tues nite, when I made the backing track (which took an hour to get servicable...). I focused on the backing vocals since I didn't really know what all they are singing. It's really complicated. There are 4 different vocals going on at the same time. I printed them all out and tried to come up with some mix of all the different parts and learn the part. I only had a bit of time late Tues and Wed afternoon to come up with a guitar part that works given the small amount of gear I can bring (nothing close to Adrian Belew's rig). When I got to open mic, JP and I only ran thru the song partway one or two times before we went on.
It ended up being more "surfy" than I wanted. It's not good, but I am really impressed at how well it came out for how little we practiced and can only imagine how much better it would have been had we had more time.

Nice work.
I would have gone with a different bass line - Tina's line and the vocal don't quite match up, which makes singing it difficult. I tried tapping the bass rhythm and singing and got messed up. (Plus I sometimes don't agree with her choices.) Or since it's all on the same chord, you could have programmed it and gone solo.
TG - you might check out Angelique Kidjo's version - she streamlines the vocal interplay somewhat.

One of the first "one chord" songs I've learned. The other that comes to mind is Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue".
