We are having a great time adding new songs to our repertoire while at the same time running through established numbers. It has occurred to us that singing doo-wop music involves a specialized vocabulary that is unintelligible by the general population. Ro realizes this when she inadvertently leaves her rehearsal tape running in record mode through an entire rehearsal. Sample conversations:
“I need some help with my hot cold woo.”
“Where’s that?”
“Right before the bahp bahp bahp bahp bahp bahp bow.”
“Is it oo-wah-oo or oo-wah-oh?”
“It’s Oo-wah-oo the first time and then oo-wah-oh after the dit-dits.”
“And make sure the dit-dits are big.”
“Yeah, we need big dits.”
“Don’t we all.”
“Speaking of dits, let’s lose the last dit in the middle of the last measure of the second system on p. 34.”
“Who you callin’ a ditz?”
So when you hear us perform “Silhouettes” and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” listen for our big dits and the perfected Hot Cold Woo.
