I did this song with a choir in high school 46 years ago! I can still remember most of the words. Such fun to follow along with you all. Thanks! Great, fond memories.
Okay so pretty much for anyone wondering, the original song centers around a cult which preaches music as the way to live life, and the leaders name is “Daddy” and at the point in this version where they say “Flip ur wings up high” he says “fly to daddy” and then “swim to daddy” and then “crawl to daddy” he also tells teh story of how he left his wife and started making this crazy cult and honestly Sammy Davis jr was so great and ya it was awesome.
We are doing this song for choir... oh lord its nearly impossible to do that very last note when they sing "life"... i lost my voice for a week attempting to do it. We have our concert in a month and i haven't gotten it down yet ahhhhhh
I did it 2, last year it looks scary but as soon as u get it down it is the funniest song to song. Hearing all the harmonies makes u so happy u just have to smile while singing it :)
I heard this song for the first time this week on the funeral of a beloved one. What a Power, this gives me such a mighty feeling to overcome a loss. Thank you!!!!!
thanks for posting this! We are singing this for our schools choir and this helps me practice outside of class. being a soprano with this song isn't as easy as it seems! x3
bruh my 3-5th grade teacher had us all sing this, choir-style, and I have such great memories and used to sing it all throughout middle and high school right up until in 10th grade when I joined theatre, and someone went "oh shit I love sweet charity" and I finally heard/saw the original version and legit couldn't figure out if my 3-5th teacher was just straight up fucking with us or not. hell yeah
I remember singing this in my school choir when I was 8 years old, we were in a national competition and won it with this... great memories, thanks for posting
@@terrygullatte7924 : ch in English usually sounds like K as in church or children, not ch in Christmas or chiropractor. This spelling of ch is more Italianate where C always has ch sound as in cello, Venicia ( pronounced Veni-chee-ah, not Veni-cee-ah) of Venice, and ch always has K sound. In classical Latin, not church Latin, it's the other way around I believe, so Cicero is actually Ki-keh-ro. Yeah, surprises many well-read literate Americans, like my sister-in-law who is a med school professor, a graduate of University of Chicago and Johns Hopkins. Veni-chee-ah?? Ki-keh-ro??
Thank you! I sung this song over 30 years ago in High School. I will admit it tortured me for many years because I could not find it anywhere. Thank you for posting it! A. R. Watts Bass Abraham Lincoln High School Choir 1987 - 1991.
In 8th grade, my choir did that, we did it WAAAAAY faster, like one breath per page of sheet music fast!!! :D I still remember it perfectly and I love it so much!! I was a sap2 then, now I'm a sap1-ten1 :D #gottalovechoir
100k+ views! Thank you guys! For the record, I was looking at the comments and I did misspell some things. My bad!! Lol I didn't even notice them! Anyway, I went back and fixed them :) Hope you enjoy! And once again, thank you!
THANK YOU! I had copied down the lyrics to this song when I was in elementary school. I just found my copy and googled it. Found this video! What a thrill!
Great performance, brilliant choral diction. And the sopranos on the top D at the end sounded really musical despite the altitude! The choir I'm will be closing our concert next Saturday with this - am really looking forward the evening.
Like everyone less here, I did this in choir. I always felt that the song had an underlying... creepy feel. I knew that the song was in a musical, so really that doesn't surprise me, especially since I assumed the musical was from the 70s.
Void Shadow actually, it is. go listen to the original from the musical “Sweet Charity.” it becomes much more clear in that one. this version is _heavily_ edited from the original to make it school-friendly. the original talks about getting on your knees and crawling to “daddy.” much, _much_ darker than this one.
Void Kage yea it is dumbass and I just had a stoke reading you comment. The original talks about religion and going to daddy do research before you try and debunk facts what are you a middle schooler?
I had a music concert in my school and the choir included this song! It was amazing but I thought I couldn’t listen to this song anymore but I still searched it up! Thanks for the lyrics!!
by the way... when the sopranos sing "You will make a new sensation"... and on the words are "build a GLOWING operation here below" not growing. Just telling you.
when the song says "you will make a new sensation, have a growing congregation, build a GLOWING operation here below" not "growing operation." I know because I just did this song in music class and the script said "glowing" not "growing."
Brings back my memories of High School Jr. Concert Choir. And I forgotten how Molto Vivace this was. And I also forgotten how brutal this song is on the voice and throat as I tried to sing along.
When your singing this in choir but your schools shut down bc COVID-19 so your stuck watching this with your choir friends on group call to continue practicing
Thanks for this. The choir i am in were singing it and i was one of the only few male voices and needed the confidence boost. Turns out listening to this over and over again worked great! Thanks ^_^
1th grade and have to sing canon xD : Go go go , daddy oh. Tell me all i need to know. Yes the rythm of life is a powerful..... And then in 3 groups xD
Last year before I transferred to a different district, our choir sung this song. We rocked it. Now I find out we will be doing this same song at the school I transferred to, later this year!
We're singing this song for our school's speech day. Even though I'm in alto and the parts are so hard but his vid helped me so much when I'm outside of school. Thanks!!
I just thought of this song since I was on FB and was reading one of my Native American sites. It was talking about the Rhythm of Life and brought the song to my head. Funny how this happens sometime.
I am singing this song in my advanced choir. This as helped me so much with knowing what parts to sing. I'm an alto. One thing tho is when the choir sings "Flip your wings and fly up high x3 You can do it if you try x2 try try try to fly" you you get it. The altos and basses sing something different than the Tenors and second soprano's. The 1st soprano's are also smt that exists lol. Its just not all in unison. Choir is difficult. This comment is just hear for others incase they get confused on that one part. Thx for ur time.
I literally sang this like 5 or six years ago when I was in high school and I still remember all the words and the alto voice part ughhhhh this literally was so nostalgic!!!
sang this for choir almost 10 years ago. i’m in college and i’m laying in my bed and all of a sudden, i just hear the lyrics in my head and knew i had to figure out what this song was called. nice
That’s about the same year that I was doing it with the peace child choir in Rochester New York. I’m just now trying to find out where it comes from originally. I saw there was a Sammy Davis Junior version, but he doesn’t seem to be either composer originally.
I'm deaf but I have a cochlear implant so I can "hear" this. I have to sing this in choir and since I have one cochlear I'm learning by this lyric video. I can't wait to sing it later at my concert.
I did this song with a choir in high school 46 years ago! I can still remember most of the words. Such fun to follow along with you all. Thanks! Great, fond memories.

This is the clean version, the one our choir is singing is the more dark version i guess
KenzieGaming enlighten me
what is the song?
With the daddy word? I love that version
Okay so pretty much for anyone wondering, the original song centers around a cult which preaches music as the way to live life, and the leaders name is “Daddy” and at the point in this version where they say “Flip ur wings up high” he says “fly to daddy” and then “swim to daddy” and then “crawl to daddy” he also tells teh story of how he left his wife and started making this crazy cult and honestly Sammy Davis jr was so great and ya it was awesome.

I love it! :)

Just performed this todayy
I did this in my choir two years ago and it still stuck with me, so catchy!
You guys know the original version is about a cult, right? This song becomes a little different when your factor that in.
Like everyone less here, I did this in choir. I always felt that the song had an underlying... creepy feel. I knew that the song was in a musical, so really that doesn't surprise me, especially since I assumed the musical was from the 70s.
It had a eerie feel to it. I pictured it in a Tim Burton movie xD
Dolan Paz I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP WITH THIS SONG!! XD
Void Shadow actually, it is. go listen to the original from the musical “Sweet Charity.” it becomes much more clear in that one.

I have done this song 3 times in chorus. I’ve been in chorus for 5 years and this is my all time favorite!!
400k+ views?! Holy moly!! You guys are amazing! All the love! 😘
Well, I'm in fifth grade and we just started this song so I need to practice.

I did this at my music class! Its so good!

When the altos started singing later in the song I was SHOOK
That one girl
Hi
Sang this in our middle school chorus last year, the nostalgia is real
thank you this helped me with my choir!
I had a music concert in my school and the choir included this song! It was amazing but I thought I couldn’t listen to this song anymore but I still searched it up! Thanks for the lyrics!!
Doing this is choir this year

Oh my gosh - memory lane! We sang this in choir 30 years ago! Good memories!
by the way... when the sopranos sing "You will make a new sensation"... and on the words are "build a GLOWING operation here below" not growing. Just telling you.
So confused, was expecting Hugh Harris, but this an amazing display of talent.
when the song says "you will make a new sensation, have a growing congregation, build a GLOWING operation here below" not "growing operation." I know because I just did this song in music class and the script said "glowing" not "growing."
yess thats what i commented too :)
good goober! eighth grade all over again. I was so in love with this song as a kid
I am singing this in chorus
CrayCray Productions same
Brings back my memories of High School Jr. Concert Choir. And I forgotten how Molto Vivace this was. And I also forgotten how brutal this song is on the voice and throat as I tried to sing along.
we used this in choir thanks
Really?! I'm so glad my video was a help to your class!
This is my favourite version of this song. I honestly love this so much.
When your singing this in choir but your schools shut down bc COVID-19 so your stuck watching this with your choir friends on group call to continue practicing
Thanks for this. The choir i am in were singing it and i was one of the only few male voices and needed the confidence boost. Turns out listening to this over and over again worked great! Thanks ^_^

Berke hızal SAME
This is great!! Brought back memories of being in choir!!!
In my honors chorus group we sang this in 5th grade not to brag or anything but it was pretty challenging.
in our 7th grade Ensamble we sang this and it's extremely easy if you practice at home the only kinda hard part is the go-going-go-go-go
I sang this in 2nd class I'm from Ireland so that's second grade
It's so easy 😂
Stella Butler I'm In Second class as well and we learnt it in choir !
wow you are a baby i am in 4th and we have to sing this
This brings back so much memories
I did this with my choir 2 years ago, and from now on, that song is stuck in my head
I remember singing this for choir three years ago, this was my favorite song to sing in any choir I've been in~
I love singing this for my choir. We'll be singing it in a few weeks!
Singing this in my first year night 😊
Cant wait
Last year before I transferred to a different district, our choir sung this song. We rocked it. Now I find out we will be doing this same song at the school I transferred to, later this year!
We sing this song in choir and I love it thank you! 😀
We're singing this song for our school's speech day. Even though I'm in alto and the parts are so hard but his vid helped me so much when I'm outside of school. Thanks!!

I will never forget that!
A choir sang this for state and it was so good. Congrats to Hickory Creek Varsity Chorus.
My choir class and i are singing this song for our yearly spring concert :)
Gosh you are singing that song in your choir class, y’all are so lucky
I wish Sweet charity was better known in France it’s so great imo
thank you for this! i learned the entire song in 1 week even though we have barely covered half of it in choir so far!
I just thought of this song since I was on FB and was reading one of my Native American sites. It was talking about the Rhythm of Life and brought the song to my head. Funny how this happens sometime.
Thanks this our choir song it got changed today and annual day is next week thanks 😊
I love this song. My choir teacher taught it to me and I needed to review the lyrics.
lmao i came back for memories when my choir did this about 3 years ago and seen this, time passes fast!
I am singing this song in my advanced choir. This as helped me so much with knowing what parts to sing. I'm an alto. One thing tho is when the choir sings "Flip your wings and fly up high x3 You can do it if you try x2 try try try to fly" you you get it.

I sang this song for Cabaret Night in Middle School along with Lift You Up Everybody Wants to be a Cat Swinging On A Star and I Believe
Oh wow, I still remember singing this song back in 6th grade. This song still rings through my head when I pass my choir room :P
sang this for choir almost 10 years ago. i’m in college and i’m laying in my bed and all of a sudden, i just hear the lyrics in my head and knew i had to figure out what this song was called. nice
this was great practice for my performance! im alto but my friend is a soprano!!
We kept singing this at my school in choir but now its stuck in my head forever
This is just genius, nice work man!
Sang this in choir in the UK a good 25 years ago, still know every word
Holy smoke!! I sang this in a choral concert in 1989!
That’s about the same year that I was doing it with the peace child choir in Rochester New York. I’m just now trying to find out where it comes from originally. I saw there was a Sammy Davis Junior version, but he doesn’t seem to be either composer originally.
I'm singing this backup for G4 so thankyou so much. i really need to learn the lyrics!! x
I learned this in choir class in my senior year........ 3 years ago.. Never forgot it.
thanks for lyrics helps a lot we are learning in chorus for 7th grade this year and it helps a lot
I'm deaf but I have a cochlear implant so I can "hear" this. I have to sing this in choir and since I have one cochlear I'm learning by this lyric video. I can't wait to sing it later at my concert.
My school did this for our winter concert and I wanted to see my self! They did amazing!
I learn this song at BYC but before I joined mt friend taught me the beginning and then I watched your vid and I knew it all!
I learned this back in 4th grade and it's been stuck in my head for YEARS. Like,,, I'm halfway done with college now!!! X'D
