Wild Billy, Hazy Davy, Crazy Janey, Killer Joe, G-Man and Mission Man take a trip up to Greasy Lake for a wild night of fun and freedom in this Bruce Springsteen hit from the 1972 album, Greetings From Asbury Park. It's all temendous fun, and the beauty of the driving rock/gospel treatment is the audience gets to participate in the rockin' call and response of the chorus. Nothing like that to bring an audience to its feet!
This arrangement features a tenor solo and TTBB voices singing an active background, so the entire choir participates in furthering Mission Man's narrative of wild times on Saturday night. The style is an educated doo-wop with influences classical choral arranging. While not perfectly suited to average church social, the song's redeeming qualities are the straight up blues and gospel influences of the early 1970s while the content is safely PG-13.
The difficulty level is Intermediate with a desire to tear the house down. A strong tenor soloist is required. This is a showstopper!
