      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.

    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

      @@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??

      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.

    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.

    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 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.
