    The introduction of the piece is the same as that of “The Raiders March”, but with strings playing in the background. The A melody begins with the trumpet as the strings fade out (0:07). The first minute and a half of the song is played the same as that of “The Raiders March”, though due to differing sound equalization, some parts stick out more or less than they do in the original. For example, in the third repetition of the A melody, one can more clearly hear the xylophone accompanying the melody here than in “The Raiders March”. The piece begins to differ more significantly after the break following the third repetition of the A melody when the piece modulates down a half step instead of up like in the original (1:37).

    Moving on to the chorus wouldn 't be smooth without the E chord as it would be a difficult transition to the first chord of the chorus if the verse was to end on an F#. The unpredictability and the fun mood of the song is caused by the E chord which is used as a tool to change the key of the song to A. all in major, the chords A, F# & D are the only ones played in the chorus and the smooth transition back to the verse is due to the chorus ending on a major F#. The mood is positively affected by a horn within the chorus. Piccolo solo played by David Mason brings upon a perfect timbre and shows a different type of creativity as it plays a countermelody. The guitar played by George Harrison is blends in perfectly which also adds timbre while cello is added in about 2:04 and plays softly in the background creating contrast between verses.
