About the Composer: Jay Hawkins

Jay Hawkins wrote "I Put a Spell on You" in 1956, creating one of rock and roll's most enduring novelty songs. Originally performed as a theatrical piece with Hawkins' signature wild energy and showmanship, the song has since been covered by dozens of artists across multiple genres, from screaming rock versions to sultry jazz interpretations. Its flexibility and sheer fun have made it a staple in popular music education.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the mischievous spirit of the original while sitting comfortably in SSA voicing, making it genuinely fun to sing without requiring gymnastic ranges. The Halloween connection gives you a ready-made programming moment, but the pop sensibility and recorded accompaniment mean you can program it anywhere energy and personality matter.

What to expect

Mischievous and theatrical, with just enough spooky edge to justify the Halloween connection without sliding into camp. The groove sits right in that sweet spot between novelty and genuine musicality, letting singers feel like they're in on the joke while delivering something genuinely engaging.

Who it's for

This works for middle school and high school choirs looking for a crowd-pleasing piece with real personality and a low barrier to entry. The SSA voicing keeps it accessible while the arrangement respects the original's infectious swagger, making it ideal for directors who want students to have fun while still singing a real song.

How to get the most out of it

Lean into the theatrical delivery. This song thrives on attitude and character, so encourage singers to commit fully to the playful menace of the lyrics rather than treating it as a straight pop song.
Balance the mix carefully during rehearsal. With three parts, it's easy for the parts to blur together; use the PartTrax accompaniment to help singers lock into their own lines while staying with the groove.
Lock the rhythmic syncopation with the recorded accompaniment early. The groove is what makes this arrangement pop, so get comfortable with the slight pushes and pulls in the melody against the beat before adding character.

How to use it

Program this as a Halloween concert opener or closer for maximum impact, or use it mid-season when you need to remind your singers why they love making music together. It pairs well with other pop arrangements in the Alfred series and works equally well as a standalone moment that gets the audience smiling before your program really begins.
