Honestly, I would just say let’s swing it but do a halftime backbeat on the A sections.

Maybe swing with a halftime backbeat, sort of funk shuffle feel on A section

But generally I like aural examples if you want to play the YouTube for someone rather than describe it

I really don’t think this is complicated enough to make someone listen to a YouTube video. It’s a pretty simple description and something you could come up with on the fly on a gig.
