Notes from the musical directors on what to look out for on this song:
- Tenors and Altos bar 66 - remember the rest between "but we're" and "alright"!!!!!
- Sops, Tenors, Basses bar 127 - sing this section loudly, and extend the notes right to the end of each bar! Going for a gospel sound here.
- Tenors, Basses 185 - sing in head voice, it's really high!!
- Basses 222 - sing with lots of drama, opera-style. I want you to over-exaggerate this.
- Huge, loud gospel sound at 258 - slide up to the note for "taaaaaake"
- Sops, Altos bar 306 - remember that every "forty five" is slightly different.
- Bar 380 - though fun and silly, this part also needs to be exactly in time. Practice with the recordings for the exact reference.
- Altos bar 384 - you're singing a harmony, not the tune!
