Dear Mr. LaDuca and other choir members,
Hi, my name is Kelly. You don't know me because I wasn't in musical, but I don't really care. I would just like to say that: YOU SING "SHUT DE DO" WRONG. Here are some key points; If you violate these points I will turn around and punch you in the face. Got it? Here goes:
-The lyrics are "ShuTAH DE DO." The key parts to these three words are "shuTAH", "DE" and "DO."
-shuTAH
-The word "THE" (not even to mention THHHHEEEEEEAAAAHHWWWWAA) DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE SONG. IT SAYS ON THE PAPER "DE" AND IT MEANS "DE." DUH.
-IF YOU EVER SAY "DOOR" AGAIN I WILL PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE.
-THE MUSIC DOES NOT SAY DOOR. IT DOES NOT SAY DOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. THERE IS NO BLOODY R. IT NEVER SAY R. IT SAYS "DO" AND IT MEANS "DO." DUH.
-"Light de candles everyting's all righ." That is the proper pronunciation. no THE. no THINNGGG. and no righT.
-the song's Jamaican, people. Sing it that way.
-NO T ON RIGHT.
-NO H or ING noise on THING. ITS TING.
-I repeat, NO THE.
-Its deBIL. NOT devvvvvuhl. DEBIL. Keep out DE DEBIL. SHUTAH DE DO... got it?
-READ THE MUSIC. YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW THE SONG. THERE'S ANOTHER LINE AT THE END.
-Hit the bloody right note at the end before I get Mandy Gallianeau to sing it for you. And then punch you in the face.
-Please, I beg of you: notice the rests in the song. They're there for a reason. That reason is "IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE WITHOUT THEM." The song is bloody staccato. Not legato. Duh.
----and finally... this song is not your solo. Do not sing it that way. Or I'll punch you in the face.
ok!! That's all I can think of!! PLEASE LISTEN TO ME. THIS SONG CAN BE GREAT. PLEASE DON'T RUIN IT FOR ME. Or I'll punch you in the face. Thank you.
-Kelly
