voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1044 | duration: 2:30 | price: $2.05
accompaniment: piano

A fun, foot-stomping American folk song, the piece has a conversational style, the guys talking to the gals and vice versa. The message is pure Americana, with sassafras tea, a long-tail coat, and an old leather bonnet part of the mix.

CoverZing Uh Boo Day [level: Medium]
Allen Koepke
voicing: SSA | catalog number: SBMP 1069 | duration: 3:30 | price: $2.25
accompaniment: piano

Liven up the action for your choir with this zinger of a piece. Composer/poet Koepke has created a strictly for fun bit of nonsense, providing us with a meaning-of-life spoof. A few nonsense syllables form the “profound” refrain as they answer life’s difficult questions. Rhythmic drive, high energy, three parts all the way, an upbeat piano adds to the mix. Singers will love to “zing” out on this one.
