  • I have the soprano solo. I'm performing it tomorrow, and I just hope I can do the solo justice!

  • @onedaymore78 Good Luck!! I'll cross my fingers for you tomorrow!! ;-)

  • Amazing, my school jazz choir is singing this song and I have the soprano solo and I am not nearly as good as her.

  • Just practice, practice, practice. And just when you think you can't practice anymore, just do it one more time. Someday, you could be even *better* than her! Good luck to you! ;-)

  • my choir ensemble is doing this, gosh i love it so much. it's such a fun song!

  • I've not heard this song for a longggg time and it's still as refreshing as ever!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!

  • They remind me of what you would get if my parents were in a band.

  • the one gal sure can sing, but the red head sure can move. she is one funky lady. love her.

  • this is just too much damned fun. have to get out of this hick town in southern indiana.

  • I've rarely seen Manhatten Transfer deliver a lacklustre performance...they are passionate vocalists and dedicated to their craft and you can instantly tell that they love to sing...cool cats :)

  • maaannn..i remember this show. it just seemed like a bad SNL ripoff. it was seldom funny. but now to see one of my all time jazz vocal group, The Manhattan Transfer, was one of their guests, i have a new respect for the show.

  • @onedaymore78 Me too, I've not done it since 2009 and I'm singing it again in March, It's such fun to sing though!

  • @Dashland13 LOL
