Andy Beck : Wonka's Welcome Song

Enjoy the sweet flavor of success with this fresh novelty number from the summer blockbuster Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The witty lyrics and bouncy music of Danny Elfman and John August have been expressly arranged for 2-part choirs with singable ranges, simple harmonies, and "ha, ha, has" and "he, he, hes" to spare. Crazy kazoos in the interlude add to the humor of this wonderfully wacky feature. So fun and easy, it's like taking candy...well, you know!

Arranger: Andy Beck | Composer: Danny Elfman | Musical: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
