Did you notice the entire lyrics started from A and went all the way to Z, incorporating each letter into a word? SUPER clever songwriting there! That's why the name of the song is "school song"

[@mephostopheles3752]

The Z eluded me for so long when I first heard the song years ago, because I’m an American and we pronounce it “zee,” but when I realized that it’s stuck into “phys-ZED” my mind was blown lmao

The location is probably weird to a lot of people these days, but as someone who grew up in the uk, a lot of our schools occupy buildings that have been around for a long time and still have a design reminiscent of a Victorian prison, even when covered up with a fresh lick of paint. This whole film really really nails the setting of England in a particular period of time. Which makes sense, since it's based on a book by a British author.

[@tragictraveller]

i love that they sing thru the alphabet once but it's so well written that you don't even notice until they give it to you a second time and show the letters. my favorite letters are H and Z, very clever

[@katpiercemusic]

Tim Minchin is an interesting guy and his music and comedy are brilliant. He seems like a person who is full of empathy. Roald Dahl, who wrote the book also leaned into the dark and never shied away from the fact that kids are far more emotionally sophisticated and aware than they’re given credit for. It’s sort of a perfect combination. And she’s just so pure in the way that she performs it.

[@katiewindolf1807]

Tim Minchin is a lyrical genius. One of the most clever songs in the whole production

[@erinmcintosh2063]

I really enjoyed this movie, my favourite song was quiet 😁

[@SongsFromASuitcase]

This one is also coming, next friday!

[@soph4850]

Me too it really resonates with me bc it’s kind of about being overwhelmed and overstimulated

[@qwertyTRiG]

It's Tim Minchin. _Of course_ it has creative lyrics. Look up some of his stuff. Start with "Rock 'n' Roll Nerd" and "Dark Side", then maybe "Drowned", "If I Didn't Have You", and others.

[@XanderHarris1023]

I see you steered clear of his songs on religion. Smart when you aren’t sure where the audience stands on the issue.

You should react to Alisha Weir singing "Naughty" live on the Late Late show in the UK in addition to the scene in the movie. She sounded great!

[@jackwhitbread4583]

If you want to watch Alisha sing live then all you need is to watch the musical as all the songs were sung live, its what sets it apart from other musicals. Emma Thompson herself adnitted the songs were sung live on the spot.

About Revolting Children: "The choreography was a little immature" You mean the one where kids are expressing that they can finally act like kids? 🤡

[@cinno09]

she said the choreography was a little *mature Because when Hortensia does the "tick tock" move with her hands, Songs From a Suitcase saw it as an implied sexual movement, for some reason.

Terrible comment on a great video

[@ginafromcologne9281]

Great reaction video! It's a wonderful musical, and I love that the narrator in the book as well as the musical shows the world out of the perspective of a child. Even a normal school can be really intimidating for a child, and a strict headmaster could seem like a roaring monster. The lyrics and the choreography are also so spot on and the kids are amazingly talented. I think though that the red beret girl is actually supposed to be the rebel, so the opposite to the prefects. That's probably why her arm is in a cast. :( By the way, I love your hair colour and style! :)

[@ThatrobloxgirlLeona]

I love the musical its so good!

[@RobertJW]

I would love to hear you react to Tim Minchin's "White Wine In The Sun". The producers went to see him perform live and were impressed by his comedy chops, but needed to know if he could hit emotional punches before they were willing to give him the book. And then he closed the show with "White Wine In The Sun", and that sealed the deal immediately.

[@summerisaac4513]

This is such a good movie and this is such a good song

[@Simi_Rose]

This has always been my favourite song, from when i heard it first (without choreography) to seeing it in London and into the film. The way it was done with the staging was awesome (not sure if it changed between west end and broadway much) I was a Brownie pack leader back when Matilda came out (girl scouts effectively) and well aware of the chaos that can happen with kids and it was so impressive to see how sharp it was. I actually picked out the weird emphasis on my first listen through, I think it was "asked" for R? that was what made me clock it... i still love curious for q XD And well once you see it preformed its very clearly is the alphabet :) (first round was without, second round was with "building blocks")
