BEING ALIVE "RHYTHM PERFECT" - Heath Saunders

in which i do a fake tedtalk about stephen sondheim
and attempt to sing a popular song "EXACTLY" as "TRANSCRIBED"
in the case of Being Alive, the original broadway cast performance by Dean Jones is actually rhythmically extremely accurate -- but basically every version that's been done since then takes some liberties with the written rhythms. (i'm looking at you, Raul.) here's me trying to perform it rhythmically perfect...some of my cut-offs are super wrong.
also...this song is much harder than i thought it was going to be. and also much more complex.
also, i'm not an impressionist. i'm not doing vocal impressions. i'm just being a goob. don't judge me like i'm trying to do impressions lol.
i don't own any of the songs. but i did produce the music tracks (except the Apple loops i borrowed.)

The little celebrity talking heads popping in had me giggling an unreasonable amount. Also would 100% listen to you talk about how the text being God is at the expense of the music for a full hour
