The rapping is courtesy of the Modern Day Poets, while Turner performs the instrumentation, chorus, bridge, and a beatboxing solo.

"Funk U Up" is one of the few tracks on Turner's debut album that contains a real beat rather than vocal percussion.

There are also black-and-white scenes of the gang performing the song in a Newcastle hotel room.

As a side note, the director Amiel Courtin-Wilson claims that of all the clips he has done for the group, this is the one that Turner is happiest with.

[2] "Funk U Up", which was released on May 2, 2005, peaked at #13 on the ARIA singles chart and spent two weeks at number 1 in Turner's home state of Queensland.
