A Better Title

How many of you know the song We Go Together as used in the musical Grease?

We go together
remembered for ever

That’s the way it should be
Wha oooh yeah!

We’re one of a kind
Our names are signed

We’ll always be like one

When we go out at night
And stars are shinin’ bright
Up in the skies above
Or at the high school dance
Where you can find romance
Maybe it might be lo-oh oh oh-oh oh-ove

We’re for each other like
Just like my brother is
We’ll always be together
Wha oooh yeah!
We’ll always, be together
We’ll always be together
We’ll always be together

Believe it or not, the above is actually the lean and mean version of the song. The actual version, which consists of approximately 70% of gibberish (estimated, not calculated) actually goes like this:

[Danny and Sandy]
We go together like
rama lama lama
ke ding a de dinga a dong
remembered for ever like
shoo bop shoo wadda wadda yipitty boom de boom

[Sandy, Danny, Rizzo & Kenickie]
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang
shoo-bop
That’s the way it should be
Wha oooh yeah!

[All]
We’re one of a kind
Like dip di-dip di-dip
Doo-bop a doo-bee doo
Our names are signed
Boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy
boog-e-dy
Shoo-by doo-wop she-bop
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang
shoo-bop

We’ll always be like one
Wa-wa-wa-waaa!

When we go out at night
And stars are shinin’ bright
Up in the skies above
Or at the high school dance
Where you can find romance
Maybe it might be lo-oh oh oh-oh oh-ove

[Can be broken up into groups]
Ra-ma la-ma la-ma ka ding a da ding de dong
Shoo-bop sha wad-da wad-da yipp-it-y boom de boom
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang shoo-bop
Dip da-dip da-dip doo-wop da doo-bee doo
Boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-ed-y
Shoo-by doo-wop she-bop
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na yip-pit-y boom de boom
Ra-ma la-ma la-ma ka ding-a de ding de dong
Shoo-bop sha wad-da wad-da yipp-it-y boom de boom
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang shoo-bop
Dip da-dip da-dip doo-wop da doo-bee doo
Boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy
shoo-by doo-wop she-bop
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na yip-pit-ty boom de boom

[Guys]
A wop ba-ba lu-mop

[Girls]
A wop bam boom

We’re for each other like
A wop ba-ba lu-mop and wop bam boom
Just like my brother is
Sha na na na na na yip-pit-y dip de boom
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang shoo-bop
We’ll always be together
Wha oooh yeah!
We’ll always, be together
We’ll always be together
We’ll always be together [End here or fade out]
A wop ba-ba lu-mop a wop bam boom!

So is gibberish always a bad thing to have? Reading the lyrics, you may think that this is a rubbish song. But try to listen to the song once, and you’ll realise that the song is actually not that bad after all. In fact, it’s a very cheerful song.

So the moral of the story is: Sometimes rubbish is good.

That aside, comes my next question: Will we always be together?

Will I ever get out of here?
