Description
Warning: "This song's gonna get stuck inside your head!"

We dare you to sit still, challenge you not to smile, and bet you'll be singing this long after the final blast. So easy to learn---with just a couple of repeated choral riffs and enough spoken solos to feature several of your best rappers.

More about this title
About the Composer: Jon Lajoie
Jon Lajoie is a Canadian musician and composer known for blending comedy with electronic production. His work spans comedy music, film scoring, and pop songwriting, often featuring clever wordplay and infectious melodies that appeal across age groups.
Why we love this
Andy Beck's arrangement captures the film's anarchic energy while making the piece genuinely singable for mixed choirs at the intermediate level. The built-in spoken solos give you natural performance moments for confident singers without requiring advanced harmonic or rhythmic reading, and the repeated riffs lock in fast.
What to expect
Energetic, irreverent, and unapologetically silly. The track bounces with synth-driven pop sensibility and relies on humor to land rather than musical sophistication, creating an infectious vibe that invites audiences to laugh along rather than sit in reverent silence.
Who it's for
Intermediate mixed choirs and show choirs looking for a fun, contemporary novelty number that doesn't require advanced vocal technique or music reading skills. The piece works equally well for middle school and high school ensembles seeking an audience-friendly crowd-pleaser.
How to get the most out of it
- Nail the rhythmic precision of the techno-pop groove by having the ensemble lock into a steady pulse before layering the vocal lines; the accompaniment will feel tight only if the choir commits to the click.
- Lean into the comedic delivery of the spoken solos; encourage your rappers to project personality and attitude rather than sing these sections with traditional choral vowel shaping.
- Keep diction crisp and light, especially on the repeated choral riffs, so the humor lands and the piece doesn't feel sluggish despite its simple melodic content.
- Use the recorded accompaniment to establish the exact groove and tempo feel during early rehearsals, then gradually reduce dependence on it as the choir internalizes the rhythmic pocket.
How to use it
Perfect as an opener or show-closer when you want to set a fun, lighthearted mood for a concert. Program it alongside other contemporary pop arrangements to showcase your choir's range, or feature it at a spring concert where novelty pieces feel most at home.
