Subject: RE: Req/ADD: The Rhythm of Life From: GUEST,Jason Date: 29 May 09 - 02:18 PM I sung this song in choir back in 4th grade. I too have been looking for the music but cannot find it. I remember the sopranos would sing the "dance dance dance" part really high. |
Subject: RE: Req/ADD: The Rhythm of Life From: GUEST,froggie24 Date: 09 Sep 09 - 10:33 PM to GUEST,lonely star (plus several others) the lyrics you have are for the musical piece. i have been searching for years for the lyrics to the piece i learned in 4th grade choir. and now ive found them. to all of you posting the musical lyrics, that wasnt helpful that was very discouraging. the musical lyrics are very very easy to find. any sheet music site has the musical piece, but not the one i learned. so thanks to GUEST,Here's the words to the variant of The Rythe for posting the lyrics of the version i learned. and please stop claiming that the version you know is the correct version because there is no correct version. |

Subject: RE: Req/ADD: The Rhythm of Life From: Joe Offer Date: 21 Aug 10 - 11:32 PM Interesting. I remember watching Sweet Charity very well, but didn't remember this song at all until this thread began. So, I watched the movie again, and I thought the song just didn't fit the rest of the play, and that it was a totally forgettable song. It's a nice attempt at making fun of shallow spirituality, but nothing really inspiring. But apparently it strikes a chord with a lot of people, because the thread has lived forever. I wonder if they find it inspiring. Maybe I shouldn't rain on the parade of those who love this song. -Joe- |

Os oes 'na rhywun sy'n gwybod y geiria plis plis rowch nhw fama, diolch :) Does anyone know the welsh lyrics Ysgol Glanaethwy were singing on Last Choir Standing? Or all the lyrics in welsh? I remember doing it in primary school, we were doing the chorus with our year 0 teacher's choir, but i don't know what the verses are. If anyone does know the welsh words please please put them here, thank you :) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req/Add: The Rhythm of Life From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 28 Oct 12 - 07:02 PM We've just been working on The Rhythm of Life - the original cynical version, this is England after all - in a choir I belong to. We sang it in a concert the other day and it went down a bomb. Great fun to sing, with te different parts singing against each other. One interesting difference and a question arising from it - we had the seventh line as "Hit the road, Daddy. Leave your trouble and strife" - a phrase that is rhyming slang for "wife". And the version given here has "Hit the road, Daddy. Leave your common-law wife." So is this a case of an American use of rhyming slang, or a change made here in England? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req/Add: The Rhythm of Life From: GUEST,Cammy Goodall Date: 19 Aug 13 - 12:07 PM I don't suppose anyone would happen to know who first adapted Dorothy Fields lyric a la Sweet Charity to the version beloved by choirs? |
