Intertexuality is basically when something is borrowed from an existing piece of work and adapted slightly into another piece of work. A good example of this is Robert Palmers 'Addicted to Love' and Shania Twain's 'I Feel Like A Women'
As you can see from the two photos above, intertexuality has been used, because Shania Twain's copied Robert Palmers idea of having a band behind her like he does as well, however she has changed it slightly by having male band members where as Palmers has female band members.
Twain's has changed the females to males in the video because one she doesn't want to simply copy Palmers, but she does want the same idea of enticing a wider range of audience and to me she has done this because it will attract both males and females, males because of the style of clothing she is wearing and then females because of the style of the males in the background.
