"[Twist and Shout] is one of my favorite songs, and with the amount of vocal harmony it has I figured it would be good for A Capella," Hammond said. "[Twist and Shout] has pretty simple rhythms and awesome energy, which fits the vibe of the T-Tones. I arranged the song basically identical to how it is written, because I think the guitar riff, bass riff and the harmonies are all excellent as well as easy to sing."](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/8E057B61-9507-4115-811F-93F1FB6F7EB4_1_105_c.jpg)
