The EGOT-Winning 'Only Murders in the Building' Songwriters on Steve Martin's 'Pickwick Triplets'

[@francescaa8331]

I want Death Rattle Razzle Dazzle to run in an actual theater. It's marvelous. And that is my favorite song from the show.

[@nexusyang4832]

It would not surprise me at all one bit that one day someone does make this happen.

[@Lindastyle]

OMG, I had the same thought! 😂❤️

[@shaneyofcourse]

And if they did we would finally know who did it!

[@EmmaTheCowie]

Steve Martin absolutely KILLED this. Amazing writing. Genious.

[@MarianneSherman-c2u]

This is brilliantly composed, orchestrated and arranged! It's got all the musical theater toolbox of tempo changes, key changes, movement, form, melody shapes, a rubato, a capella, horn stabs and catchy lyric rhythms! And Steve did an amazing performance! I love it!

What she said!!!

[@bobbicraig]

You know your stuff, Ms. Sherman!! (Any relation??)

[@bimiup1]

@@bobbicraig No relation to Richard and Robert, if that's your reference. Unless they are denying the TRUTH and just refuse to acknowledge us! LOL!

[@pa2707]

Man! Did Steve Martin kill it or what? And the way the scene was shot and intertwined with the story of the episode was so genius!!

[@spinni81]

I absolutely loved the season. And I learned that the German word "Sitzprobe" is used in English. Literally translated it means "sit down rehearsal".

[@francescaa8331]

Yes I learned the term Sitzprobe also, and it was fun to find out how literal it was. I don't know much about musical theater- so I never heard the term. This show is funny - and educational!

[@RaymondHng]

It's a common term in opera.

[@shaneyofcourse]

I love learning the lingo as well! I've only seen one show on Broadway and it is such a beautiful world to explore.

[@mollydtt]

It just doesn’t ever get any better than this. The lyrics, the music, the execution - sublime. Genius in every way.

[@Hexon66]

Well, ironically anyway. It's like cheesy off-Broadway schmaltz. Great if that's what you love. But hilarious if regarded as a spot-on parody of corny musical numbers.

[@mollydtt]

@@Hexon66I’m an instrumentalist that has played in the orchestra for many musicals and operas for decades. I’ve seen the great, the bad and the ugly. In my opinion, this was genius. Sorry you didn’t see what I saw.

[@oversharer]

I am crying from how excellent this creative process is. Thank you for creating such a masterpiece.

[@georgex4700]

Well deserved emmy nomination❤🎉🎉

[@Fedesiete]

and won!

[@cynthiamcivor2629]

Binged the series on Disney+ but once this scene posted on KZbin, I watched it over & over & over… Love it!!

[@bobbicraig]

My husband and I have only recently started watching OMITB and after watching this episode were floored with this piece of music! We also are only recently becoming live theatre enthusiasts, so watching this song writing process is so enlightening!!

[@GJF118]

From Wikipedia: In opera and musical theatre, a Sitzprobe (from the German for 'seated rehearsal') is a rehearsal where the singers sing with the orchestra, focusing attention on integrating the two groups. It is often the first rehearsal where the orchestra and singers rehearse together. The equivalent Italian term is prova all'italiana.

[@leonardo448]

This should giving him the best comedy actor's Emmy, It’s time to recognize his talent with the honor he undeniably deserves!

[@ianshirreffs5604]

I love the series and the music that went with it. Well deserved. ❤

[@charlotteblanchard]

Excellent behind the scenes video! ❤

[@JetPackDino]

my favorite show. obsessed

[@daikaizouku1468]

Well-deserved win! Congrats on the Emmy!

[@Lindastyle]

Season 3 is hands down the best season so far ❤

[@mattazmy]

Such a beautiful season; I love these guys' works. Congratulations!!!

[@jamiegdubois]

Pasek and Paul? No wonder the music was so catchy!

[@johnrogers001]

This is a great look behind the scenes of a great performance.

[@michaelpointner7507]

Sitzprobe translates to "sitting rehearsal". As a German speaker, it's always fun to hear English speakers use German words!

[@taydrabrookshire347]

It’s crazy that Steve has yet to perform this song live in real life. My guy, aren’t you nominated because of it?? Why aren’t you campaigning for what could be your second Emmy award? Unless you meant for it to be a one and done thing. I’d love to see it performed in the Emmys telecast, though.

[@taydrabrookshire347]

One warning: DON’T GO INTO THE WHITE ROOM!!

[@francescaa8331]

@@taydrabrookshire347 oh if he performed it at the Emmys, that would be great.

[@robtheboomer]

Oh they’re getting that EGOT

Brilliance. 💎

[@AngelaSealana]

I need a shirt with "Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?"

[@kevinwilliams4845]

Can this become an actual touring play? Expand it and let it tour!

[@Acadian_Proud]

you had me at Nova Scotia!

[@mollymcdade4031]

The fact it’s recorded to a click track with the orchestra coming in later makes some of the autotune make sense. It’s still a shame you can hear it on the track though

[@CobusBothma-k4c]

[@JordiLA]

I hate how I like that song

[@zamzamkhan759]

It's the same tune as In And Out Those Dusty Bluebells.

[@bobbicraig]

I HAD to go listen to that one too just now!😂

I saw your KZbin video has few subscribers and law viewers, if you want to get more viewers in each video.
