A Wild, Wild Party
The show-stopping chorus number from Andrew Lippa's 2000 Broadway musical "Wild Party" gives any show a boost of 'instant celebration'. It features an introductory recitative with 4 singers - which you could omit if you'd rather start with the fast tempo - providing some fabulous uber-dramatic solo opportunities. Once the full choir comes in with the main chorus, the song builds with key change upon key change and more solo leads to send the intensity level soaring. Wild fun ahead!!
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/1 Tbn/Alto, Tenor, & Bari Sax

God has said: "Don't eat that apple, child It's bad, forbidden fruit!" God has said: "Don't break my laws Or give me cause To use my boot." (Don't go that route) I misunderstood him Or maybe I forgot Cause after just one bite: Ooh! What a night Cool Paradise turned hot! We were having a wild, wild party We were loving it loud and fast We were having a wild, wild party And hoping the fun would last Sing it with me now! We were driving it fast and funky We were dancing and running free We were having a wild, wild party And all because of that tree! Heaven watched us tearing up the joint Heaven, ever slowly, got the point Don't you see That's the way it was meant to be From chapter one To one hundred thirty-three If in heaven you don't excel You can always party down in hell! We'll be having a wild, wild party We'll be loving it loud and fast We'll be having a wild, wild party And hoping the fun would last We'll be having a wild, wild party We'll be loving it loud and fast We'll be having a wild, wild party And hoping the fun would last We'll be driving it fast and funky We'll be dancing in primordial stew Such a wonderful wild, wild party And we're inviting you! And we're inviting you! (Andrew Lippa)
