3 Girl Song#0

Posted: 12/4/04 at 6:33pm

Hi I'm new here, this is my first post. Two of my friends and I are looking for a three person song for a competition. Obviously, it needs to be understandable outside of context. If anyone has some reccomendations, that would be great! Thanks! Oh and also guy parts are fine as long as they can be turned into girls without changing the song drastically. basically, male range is fine, just no guy-girl romantic stuff or anything. Thanks!

I know of one song that I heard performed recently. It's called "I Want it All," and it's from "Baby: The Musical." It was pretty funny.

Try Little Shop Of Horrors. Those girls kick some butt in their numbers

"One Boy" from BYE BYE BIRDIE...if you eliminate the part Rose sings.

Praying Decca Broadway will put "Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope" on CD!

Rose doesn;t sing the song in the stage version...you must be referring to the movie duet with Janet Leigh and Ann "Im sexy-as-all-hell" -Margret

Not exactly a three girl song, but "Louder Than Words" from tick, tick, BOOM is an amazing song intended for three people.

"I Want It All" is pretty good as far as showcasing talent.
It's like straight C's.

"Sing for your Supper" - Boys from Syracuse. I saw "Steam Heat" done as a girl trio. You can make a lot of songs that arent trios trios.

Rosencrantz: "Be happy - if you're not even HAPPY what's so good about surviving? We'll be all right. I suppose we just go on." - from Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

My personal fave that I sing with two of my girlfriends is "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" from Fiddler. But definitely check out "Little Shop".

"Ladies Maid" from TITANIC

you can just cut out the chorus part.

Uptown Girl - that is the scariest picture of Idina I have ever seen in my entire life. Was she just bitten by a rabid cat or something?

This is kinda pointless of me to post because you probably can't get the music. But on some DVD I have there's this "Andrew Lloyd Webber Love Trio" In the concert it's Audra MacDonald, Marin Mazzie and Judy Kuhn. The three songs are Love Changes Everything (Audra), Unexpected Song (Marin) and I Don't Know How To Love Him (Judy). It's really amazing, but I don't know where you could find it.

What is it about Lucy?? I know she's a bitch, and yet I want to be her...

-"I Know Now" from Snoopy

-"Friends" from Closer Than Ever was written for three women, but in the actual conext of the show its performed by two women and a man(the show features two women and two men)

-"Move" and "Dreamgirls" from Dreamgirls

-"There's Gotte Be Something Better Than This" from Sweet Charity

There are a lot of pieces that can be fashioned for three.(I've seen Cell Block Tango performed by three women) Just get someone clever to arrange it for you and you can do almost anything!

Good call Riboflavin! I completly forgot about Snoopy. That's a wonderful song that doesn't get "enough air time"


And to add: Marc Shaiman MAY have some great numbers from Hairspray.

Hint hint, nudge nudge....

"I Wish I May" from The Witches of Eastwick is BEAUTIFUL if you're looking for a knockout ballad. I would also suggest "You Could Drive A Person Crazy" from Company. Good luck!
