So after listening to the sound track for the most part of the summer, I have discovered that the first song, "Welcome to Wisconsin" is my favorite song maybe in the entire world. I think that it is perfect for the musical, a great way to kick off the musical all together! It has everything in it, the humor, that era feel of beat and style of song and it's just a great song for everyone to be in! I listen to it and get overly excited and I just dance all over with my brother and have a good time because that's what that song encourages you to do!! Now, my least favorite song is "Leopards are we/A Plaque". Just, something out the way its sang and the words, and the growling is...offputing. It's creepy and isn't a easy song to listen to. But that having said, we can always change it a bit, and have the boys voices not be so pedophile like? Hopefully it will sound better! "Welcome to Wisconsin" has everyone in it and it's going to be just a treat for the audience to see and hear with all the dancing and dialog and the music! Oh I can't wait!!
"Leopards" is going to be interesting to watch, it's not a song about the kids and the end of school, it's a song about a man wanting to be seen as the best in town. And I think it's interesting because throughout the play, you think Fonzie is gonna be the hero, but no, Howard is. As we see later on in the song "Ordinary Hero", we is the hero, he's a big hearted, hard working, hardware man! Gotta give it to Howard!

Assignment part one: Get Happy!
Watching a couple episode of "Happy Days", I learned that TV was better back in 1974. The characters are more relatable and seem like they could have actually have been really people. I really liked how sassy and outspoken the girls where, and though you see that being forced in TV nowadays, it never comes off naturally. But for the lady's of that time, that's just how they where. And the guys of that era are strange. You have three different people when it comes to the guys, the Fonzie type: bad boy complex with a purpose. Then the Richie type: mostly the Robin in a Batman and Robin scenario but can hold himself. And lastly, Good old Ralph Malph, who really has no clue how to act in basic society and that's why we all love him. I think it really helped me get into character watching how the girls react to the boys and vice versa. So in conclusion, Stay Sassy my friends.
