About This Track

A medley of audition performances from the animated film, 'Auditions' stitches together a rapid-fire succession of cover songs and character moments. Each animal contestant takes a turn at the microphone, cycling through pop and rock standards with varying degrees of commitment and comic effect. The track moves quickly enough that no single performance overstays its welcome, the energy sustained by sheer variety rather than depth. The appeal lies in the collision of incongruity: a sheep delivering a tender rendition of a Seal ballad, a hippo singing in what sounds like glossolalia, a beaver channelling working-life blues. The cast's commitment to these fragments, however brief, gives the medley its charm. It functions less as a coherent song than as a showcase, a rapid introduction to the film's ensemble and their respective musical tastes.

"Auditions" is a track by Sing Cast, from the album Sing (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), released 9th December 2016. Full lyrics are available below.

Rah rah ah-ah-ah!

Baaaaby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray

[Red Pandas]

Come my lady

You're my butterfly, sugar baby

Come my lady

You're my pretty baby

I'll make your legs shake

You make me go...

[Hippo]

Plav da shree, loh ku pah, dav du sah!

Soo-da-li dwee-daht, soo-da-li doo-ton plah-blah

[Bunnies]

Oh my gosh, Look at her butt

[Giraffe]

Ben, the two of us need look no more

[Johnny]

This ain't love it's clear to see

But darling, stay with me

[Mike]

Every time it rains

It rains pennies from heaven

Don't you know each cloud contains

Pennies from heaven

[Rosita]

'Cause baby you're a firework

Come and show 'em what you're worth

Make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!"

You're gonna leave 'em all in awe awe awe
