About the Composer: Ray Parker Jr.

Beyond his work on this cultural touchstone, Parker Jr. has built a career as a versatile recording artist and session musician, contributing to countless pop and R&B tracks across several decades.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures everything audiences love about the original: the irresistible hook, the conversational charm, and the perfect balance of humor and groove. Tom Anderson's choral setting gives your singers a chance to perform a song that generates genuine excitement in any concert, while the recorded accompaniment keeps the arrangement tight and energetic without requiring a full band.

What to expect

Pure nostalgia wrapped in infectious groove. The moment those opening notes sound, the room lights up with recognition. From there, the arrangement keeps the energy high and the mood playful, turning your choir into a band of comedians who also happen to sing in perfect harmony.

Who it's for

Directors programming Halloween concerts, pops concerts, or end-of-year celebrations will find this arrangement energizes audiences and gives singers repertoire they're excited to perform. It works equally well for mixed choirs, treble choirs, or lower voice ensembles (consult the arrangement details for voice part configuration).

How to get the most out of it

  • Nail the rhythmic precision in the famous opening lines; crisp articulation keeps the hook memorable and fun.
  • Let the recorded accompaniment drive the tempo and pocket. Your singers should feel anchored to the groove, not fighting it.
  • Treat the comedic moments with confidence rather than winking at the audience. The humor lands when the singing is committed and clear.
  • Balance the lead passages with solid section work. Feature soloists on key moments, but ensure the full choir provides grounded support underneath.

How to use it

This is natural programming for a Halloween concert or a themed pops show celebrating movie music. It also works as a concert closer or a lighthearted contrast piece when programmed alongside more serious choral literature. The familiarity and joy of the song make it an accessible entry point for mixed-age audiences.

Skills your students will build

  • Rhythmic precision in syncopated pop figures
  • Singing with rhythmic independence in a groove-based arrangement
  • Balancing vocal blend while maintaining the character of a pop recording
  • Phrasing and interpretation within a modern, non-classical style
