"What Is This Feeling?" is a song from the 2003 musical Wicked. It is sung between Elphaba, Galinda (later Glinda), and the students at Shiz University, expressing their loathing for each other's contrasting personalities as newly-assigned roommates.

The song is performed towards the beginning of the first act. It opens with the two girls, Galinda and Elphaba, writing letters home to their parents in order to complain about their new rooming situation at Shiz University, brought about by Madame Morrible. During the song, Galinda and Elphaba graphically detail their mutual and "unadulterated loathing" toward one another. As the song progresses, the students of Shiz side with Galinda, expressing their admiration of the fact that she can even tolerate Elphaba, and referring to her as a martyr.

During the later song, "Dancing Through Life", Galinda's loathing of Elphaba is manifested yet again when, in order to embarrass her in front of everyone at the Ozdust Ballroom, she presents her with a pointed black hat, clearly representative of those traditionally associated with witchcraft, that Galinda received from her grandmother. However, Galinda's conscience soon starts to get the better of her, and in her remorse she approaches Elphaba with an invitation to dance, culminating in the pair eventually becoming friends in "Popular".

Stephen Schwartz meant the song's title and lyrics to be an ironic parody on love songs ("What is this feeling so sudden and new?/I felt the moment I laid eyes on you/My pulse is rushing/My head is reeling/My face is flushing/What is this feeling?/Fervid as a flame/Does it have a name?"). The irony comes in when phrases traditionally used for love songs are revealed to be expressing hate. When Galinda and Elphaba describe each other, Galinda complains about Elphaba being "altogether quite impossible to describe", while Elphaba simply calls Galinda "blonde".

"What the World Needs Now Is Love" is a 1965 popular song with lyrics by Hal David and music composed by Burt Bacharach. First recorded and made popular by Jackie DeShannon, it was released on April 15, 1965, on the Imperial label after a release on sister label Liberty records the previous month was canceled. It peaked at number seven on the US Hot 100 in July of that year.[1] In Canada, the song reached number one.

Co-songwriter Burt Bacharach revealed in his 2014 autobiography that this song had among the most difficult lyrics Hal David ever wrote, despite being deceptively simple as a pop hit. He explained that they had the main melody and chorus written back in 1962, centering on a waltz tempo, but it took another two years for David to finally come up with the lyric, "Lord, we don't need another mountain." Once David worked out the verses, Bacharach said the song essentially "wrote itself" and they finished it in a day or two.[2]

The song's success caught the two songwriters completely by surprise, since they were very aware of the controversy and disagreements among Americans about the Vietnam War, which was the subtext for David's lyrics. Bacharach continuously used the song as the intro and finale for most of his live concert appearances well into the 2000s.

The song was originally offered to singer Dionne Warwick, who turned it down at the time, saying she felt it was "too country" for her tastes and "too preachy"[3] though she later recorded it for her album Here Where There Is Love. (Warwick also recorded a second version in 1996, which scraped the lower reaches of the US Hot 100.) Bacharach initially did not believe in the song, and was reluctant to play it for DeShannon.[4] The song was also rejected by Gene Pitney, reportedly over a financial dispute. DeShannon's version was recorded on March 23, 1965, at New York's Bell Sound Studios.[5] Bacharach arranged, conducted and produced the session. In 1966 The Chambers Brothers recorded a soul version of "What the World Needs Now Is Love" using gospel harmonies, on their album "The Time Has Come".[6]

An instrumental version of the song was featured regularly on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon for many years, most frequently heard when pledge amounts were announced on the broadcast.[citation needed]

Burt Bacharach performs a version of the song in the 1997 American film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, with the film's director describing Bacharach's performance as "the heart of our film".[7]

"What the World Needs Now is Love/Abraham, Martin and John" rose to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1971, and was Clay's only top 40 hit.[15] Reviewing Tom Clay's track for AllMusic, Andrew Hamilton called it an "inspirational sound collage" but felt that, after ten songs have been recited by Clay, "the concept wears thin and gets downright irritating."[11] In 2019, Billboard writer Morgan Enos included the "obscure medley" in his list of songs that sample King Jr.[16] Oliver Wang of NPR noted that the song, "a collage of found-sound snippets set to a syrupy arrangement of the Burt Bacharach tune", was the first single on Motown's Hollywood-based subsidiary label MoWest. He added that the song "became a surprising Top 10 hit and also helped set the tone for what would be a short and often strange history for the label."[17]

Bear with me while I set the scene for this discovery with some personal history. It would be an understatement to say that I'm a fan of lyricist and librettist Alan Jay Lerner. Gigi has been my favorite movie musical since I was 5. Camelot has been my favorite musical since I was 8. My college admissions essay on my biggest influence was about Alan Jay Lerner. Maybe you caught one of my first blogs on his brilliant flop, Lolita, My Love.

As a teenager, I read Lerner's highly entertaining (though not strictly accurate) autobiography, The Street Where I Live, not to mention every biography of him available. I don't remember when, in my extensive reading on the subject, I found out that one of the songs from Camelot, "What Do the Simple Folk Do?" had been written for an earlier Lerner and Loewe show, Paint Your Wagon (which I also love, of course).

I wasn't all that surprised to learn about this. After all, Lerner had used the premise, and some only slightly altered lyrics, for a song from Love Life, a 1948 collaboration with Kurt Weill, to come up with a new song with Fritz Loewe, for his 1958 Oscar-winning film Gigi. Both songs are called "I Remember It Well."

The main treasure for me was the sheet music for "What Do Other Folks Do?" that original version of "What Do the Simple Folks Do?" Though "Simple Folk" is a much more expansive piece, it follows the same structure of the earlier song and fits into a similar place in the plot.

Examining the differences between these two lyrics illustrates Lerner's creative development between 1951 and 1960, even though the question asked by the woman and the remedies suggested by the man are more or less the same. The Paint Your Wagon song is a good sketch for what would become a great song in Camelot. "Other Folks" starts with a, brief, and unnecessary verse for Jennifer:

The situation in Camelot is more fraught with drama, giving the song a subtext. In Paint Your Wagon, it's only about the openly acknowledged problems the characters are having. Another element that makes the Camelot version more effective is the symmetry of theme it creates with an earlier song. In Arthur's first song in the show, "I Wonder What the King is Doing Tonight.," he speculates about his subjects speculating about him.

Please excuse my exclusive focus on the lyrics for the two versions of the song. Loewe's music for these two songs, as far as I can tell with a very limited musical literacy, is also pretty different. The title line and the answer lines are similar, but everything else in the middle of each musical stanza was re-written. With the music now available, perhaps "Other Folks" could be restored to Paint Your Wagon's tunestack if we ever get a complete recording. (The original cast album left out a full song, a few reprises, and a ton of dance music, which accompanied the dances choreographer Agnes DeMille considered her finest work for a Broadway musical.)

Though Paint Your Wagon couldn't pull this off as a musical, Gypsy would do so a few years later with greater success. The great American play, Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman had dealt with this theme suberbly in 1949, but maybe no one was ready for a musical to do so.

Whether cutting "Other Folks" hurt the show or saved it, cutting it made "Simple Folks" possible. Paint Your Wagon's loss was assuredly Camelot's gain. It was a genuine thrill for me to find this song and be able to trace Lerner's growth as an artist through this song. If you're interested in reading the entire lyric or the music, come find it in the James Barton Papers in the Billy Rose Theatre Division of the New York Public Library.

What this basically means is that there are 200 beat buddy songs. A BeatBuddy song comprises of an intro, a part A, 3 fills, a transition, part b and an outro. There actually appears to be more than 200, on this forum there is a beat collaboration page which lists them all, others people are giving suggestions on which BB songs (beats) fit with actual songs. I would not want direct copies of songs in the BB, I want generic beats that can be used in lots of different ways. The BB is a drum machine at heart and all drum machines have preset generic beats so you need to listen to them and decide what fits with what song. However the oldies section has 60s and Motown style beats.

A great song and album, one I recently picked up at a used record store. I agree that the audition process may have been a big factor if hipster rock fans not liking them at the time. That stance has gone by the wayside to some extent over the years I think.

While there are various stories about where the song originated, David Hopes, the director of the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway, Scotland, previously told the USA TODAY Network in 2014 that Burns adapted an earlier version written down by Scottish poet Allan Ramsay. The museum displays Burns' "improved" version next to Ramsay's version, he said. e24fc04721
