Originality
Quirky and whimsical, this novelty number is all about discovering one's unique personality. The song is structured around a circular piano motive with a Tori Amos vibe -- and has a lilting, playful opening soprano solo which also pays homage to Tori's distinctive style. Totally different from the typical show choir sound -- and totally charming!

I seem to have a problematic personality There's something different in the way that I behave Like I'm allergic to decorum and formality My inner voice is like a trumpet in a temple It makes me question all the rules that I've been taught I try so hard to block it out, but I got this Overwhelming originality A walking paradox of everyone around me I know it's not the way that I'm supposed to be But I can't shake it offa my tree, originality No one approves of my peculiar modality They close their eyes, they can't disguise the way they feel They try to help me with a dose of rationality But I keep moving in the opposite direction I need to challenge the conventional routine I try so hard to shut it down, but I got this Overwhelming originality A walking paradox of everyone around me I know it's not the way that I'm supposed to be But I can't shake it offa my tree, originality!
