The Birds Sing at Home (and the Dinos Roar There Too)

Someone told me to make electro swing. This was quite the journey, but I think I got it.
It's not a genre we're used to (and considering there's maybe one other electro swing song on this site to my recollection, neither is anyone else). It was tricky getting the right sounds. There's three levels of those, if you want an authentic trumpet sound, you record an actual fucking trumpet; if you want a convincing one, spend roughly the same amount of money for a fancy VST; if you just want to make music, you just go with what you got, lean in on the trash, and hope the vibes carry you. Naturally I'm going for the last option.
Played it side-by-side to some other electro swing, ones that don't sample an entire song from the whenevers, and it seems to fit well enough.
Perhaps next time I can turn it/whatever I learned into chip metal. Ask me if you feel like making some electro swing yourself.
