More about this title

About the Composer: Parry Gripp

Parry Gripp built a devoted following by composing novelty songs that appeal directly to young audiences, combining absurdist humor with infectious melodies. His viral videos have introduced millions of children to music that is simultaneously silly and genuinely well-crafted, earning him recognition as a composer who understands what makes kids laugh and want to sing along.

Gripp's work has proven valuable in choral education precisely because it meets singers where their interests already are. His songs generate natural enthusiasm in the rehearsal room, which music teachers leverage to teach fundamental choral skills without relying on traditional repertoire alone.

Why we love this

Your singers probably already know this song, which means you've won half the battle before rehearsal even starts. Parry Gripp's gift for writing catchy, age-appropriate material that actually engages young voices makes this a smart programming choice for building ensemble cohesion and vocal confidence. The techno accompaniment keeps energy high while the 2-part writing remains accessible.

What to expect

Bouncy, colorful, and unapologetically absurd. The techno soundscape creates a futuristic backdrop for lyrics that embrace pure silliness, inviting singers to have genuine fun while they're performing. There's permission in this arrangement to be playful rather than serious, which translates into visible joy on stage.

Who it's for

This octavo works for middle and elementary school choirs, youth programs, and community singing groups where engaging young voices is the priority. Singers who already know the song from its viral video will bring immediate enthusiasm to rehearsals, and the accessible 2-part writing meets them at their vocal development level.

How to get the most out of it

Lean into the quirky character of the text. Precision and deadpan delivery of the zany lyrics will amplify the humor and keep the audience engaged throughout.
Balance the two parts equally during unison sections so the blend sounds intentional rather than accidental, especially when the parts split.
Use the dynamic range in the SoundTrax accompaniment as your roadmap. Let the recording lead your tempo and energy shifts rather than fighting against it.
Isolate the harmony parts in early rehearsals so singers hear their individual line clearly before adding it back with the full arrangement.

How to use it

This piece energizes a concert program when you need a mood shift or want to showcase your ensemble's versatility and sense of humor. Consider pairing it with one more contemporary pop arrangement and a traditional piece to demonstrate your choir's range, or use it as a closer to send audiences out smiling.
