LYRICS:
When I started down the street last Sunday,
Feelin' mighty low and kinda mean,
Suddenly a voice said, "Go forth, neighbor!
Spread the picture on a wider screen!"
And the voice said, "Neighbor there's a million reasons
Why you should be glad in all four seasons!
Hit the road, neighbor,
leave your worries and strife!
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life."
For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet!
Rhythm on the inside, rhythm on the street,
And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat!
To feel the rhythm of life,
To feel the powerful beat,
To feel the tingle in your fingers,
To feel the tingle in your feet!
Go, go, go! Go, go, go!
Tell them everything you know!
Go and spread the gospel in Milwaukee;
Take a walkie-talkie to Rocky Ridge!
All the way to Canton, then to Scranton,
Even tell it under the Manhattan Bridge.
You will make a new sensation,
Have a growing congregation,
Build a glowing operation here below!
Like a Pied Piper blowing,
Lead and keep the music flowing,
Keep the rhythm go, go, going; go, go, go!
I’m singing this song at my choir! Every time my teacher said we’re singing this everyone is like “Yay!!!”. 😄
IKRRRRRRRRR
Same
Same best song haha
Same
Same though the congregation part was hard for me
I loved singing this song in choir
TNB GAMING sshenandoah
Same
What’s choir?
@@thewinterultima6556 where a bunch of people sing together, it’s a class at a lot of schools :)
The nostalgia hit hard with this one
Haha me too, I'm singing and playing like I was back I middle school
I sang this in high school 26 years ago . I think anyone who has performed this song never forgets it. You choir was absolutely wonderful!!
I remembered performing this song in my middle school as a soprano! Lol such a great song to hear after all these years it brings tears to my eye.
Same! I have a concert next week
I’m singing soprano rn but I’m the only 7th grade soprano and there like 9 6th grade sopranos and 5 8th grade sopranos
I love that there is this one woman who is like really feeling the music
I’m 41 years old and remember word for word back when I sang this in 7th grade 1995
I don't think you r forty cause no one forty has that user name.You might be..... god knows.
I want this song to be done by a string quartet at my wedding , sung when I'm returning down the Aisle, and a choir of this at my funeral .All parts!
I’m singing this in 2 days with my honor choir!!!
Exceptionally well executed version of this number.... This talented team deserved a MUCH bigger ovation. This is a hard song to do, but they were ALL on point, with exceptional musical direction and and pacing too! I think Bob Fosse would have approved! ;-)
We sang this in a high school Broadway review show with the original lyrics and we all dressed up as hippies. It was 1981. I was on the stage near where the principal was sitting in the audience and by the look on his face he did not approve.
Omg we are singing this in middle school and it is so hard!
We sang this in my junior high school in Nashville Tennessee back in the 70s! I love this song! It was fun to sing then and fun to sing along with now! Great job choir!!!!
I sang this in 1975, and then again in 1977 in the Denver High School All City Choir. Such a fun song!
We sang it in 1980…I was in 4th grade.
Great! One of the best versions I have heard.
Verse 1

Life! Life! Life!

"And the voice said, "Daddy, there's a million pigeons waiting to be hooked on new religions. So, hit the road, Daddy. Leave your common law wife. Spread the religion of the Rhythm of Life." Sooooo different from the original song.
@@kell_checks_in yep! Chinese censorship:
Daddy started out in San Francisco,
Tootin' on his trumpet loud and mean.
Suddenly a voice said, "Go forth, Daddy.
Spread the picture on a wider screen.
And the voice said, "Daddy, there's a million pigeons
Ready to be hooked on new religions.
Hit the road, Daddy. Leave your common-law wife.
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life.
@@joostadorf9037 It's nothing to do with censorship, an arranger changed words to make the song non specific. When choirs perform the audience doesnt always know the meaning/story of the song. People who do are still able to enjoy it, but those who don't aren't lost in a fast paced storyline.
@@saramfedan BS, It's censorship
What a beautiful choir I ‘ve heard.
Various and splendid change of chord each moment.
I got to love this song 💌💌~
First song i had to learn in choir in moddle school...will never forget it!

At 3:50 when they sang “life” 3 times the first 2 were 3 beats which was correct but the 3rd one was only supposed to be 2 or maybe hats just my choir 😂
I remember learning this song in 5th grade in elementary school. My music teacher was great playing the piano and singing but sadly he suffered mental illness and had alot of issues.

Daddy started out in San Francisco,
Tootin' on his trumpet loud and mean.
Suddenly a voice said, "Go forth, Daddy.
Spread the picture on a wider screen."
And the voice said, "Daady, there's a million pigeons
Ready to be hooked on new religions.
Hit the road, Daddy. Leave your common-law wife.
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life."
And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet,
Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street,
Yes, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat.
To feel the rhythm of life,
To feel the powerful beat,
To feel the tingle in your fingers,
To feel the tingle in your feet.
Daddy spread the gospel in Milwaukee,
Took his walkie-talkie to Rocky Ridge,
Blew his way to Canton, then to Scranton,
Till he landed under the Manhattan .
Daddy was the new sensation, got himself a congregation,
Built up quite an operation down below.
With the pie-eyed piper blowing, while the muscatel was flowing,
All the cats were go, go, going down below.
Daddy was the new sensation, got himself a congregation,
Built up quite an operation down below.
With the pie-eyed piper blowing, while the muscatel was flowing,
All the cats were go, go, going down below.
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,
Fly, fly, fly to Daddy.
Take a dive and swim to Daddy,
Take a dive and swim to Daddy,
Take a dive and swim to Daddy,
Swim, swim, swim to Daddy.
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,
Crawl, crawl, crawl to Daddy.
And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet,
Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street,
Yes, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat.
To feel the rhythm of life,
To feel the powerful beat,
To feel the tingle in your fingers,
To feel the tingle in your feet.
To feel the rhythm of life,
To feel the powerful beat,
To feel the tingle in your fingers,
To feel the tingle in your feet.
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,
Take a dive and swim to Daddy,
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,
Daddy we got the rhythm of life,
Of life, of life, of life.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Doing this my choir class
We are singing this in my school's honors choir ^-^ Its 4th-6th grades. I'm in 5th :D
天啊，我小学合唱团的时候也有唱过诶！
Very nice
The original is a cynical song about a cult leader. Amazing how this arrangement makes it innocent.
Goooooooood !!!
im singing this song along with other songs for honors choir and its a competition and I hope it goes well some notes are very high and im a soprano so its harder but I hope we do well
How did it go?
im learning this song in music
I'm learning this in middle school choir right now and...holy shit I love this song. I'm a bass and my soul and spirit get lost in the feeling of the music once that "Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet" part kicks in. My mind gets sucked into it and I feel really amazing during this song. It's hard tho explain, but people that sing a lot probably know what I mean.
Idk if we're in the same school, are you in the UK
@@ender_non boi im in Wisconsin
I sang this at choir in 8th grade.
