"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.

[@saramfedan]

@@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.

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!!!!

[@MichaelSteverMLS]

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! ;-)

[@commercialcommunication9298]

Great! One of the best versions I have heard.

We sang it in 1980…I was in 4th grade.

[@jefftaylor76]

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.

Songteksten 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.

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.
