House Shout songs…and rumours – Tasha H.
As the House Shout performance looms, here is a run-down of the different songs with some comments from the houses.
NB: The scores are based solely on song choice for house shout (and are an opinion)
Drake – ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ – Rick Astley
6.5/10
The ‘Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down…’ part is quite catchy.
Comments: ‘Good song, but no one knows the words’-Anonymous
“Sounding lovely, but you’ve gotta be standing right next to them to hear them.”- Anonymous
“Nearly there. The band and singers sound really good but need a touch more volume. I haven’t heard house harmony, so that will be a nice treat on the evening, apparently!” – Mr Corbould
Cornwallis – ‘Must Be Love’ – Madness
8/10
Most of the song is quite easy to memorise as there are so many repeats and it is also quite catchy.
Comment: With the promise of Dominoes if CS came 1st or 2nd, “I don’t think I will be spending my money on Dominoes somehow. Bring your ear plugs…… but be sure to take them out for the House Harmony performance!”. Mr Cohen
Raleigh – ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go’ – Wham!
10/10
Very catchy. Absolutely love it. A couple of very high notes tho!
Comment: Nervous laugh. “The pupils seem excited by the opportunity to perform Wham! Great levels of house spirit are being shown, and some musical talent starting to shine through with practising a couple of times a week at roll call. However, they have taken the fact that it is called house shout literally!” – Mr Brightwell
Collingwood – ‘Billie Jean’ – Michael Jackson
7.5/10
Gotta love a bit of Michael Jackson.
Comments: ‘Can’t be worse than last year ‘ – David A (not known for his loyalty or sentimentality)
“Fantastic. Jack E is leading it and doing a good job. If the competition is who can stand the most rigid, we have a good chance of winning. However, I am very proud of them because they are coming together as a house and putting in a great team effort.”-Mr Holmes
Hood – ‘Holding out for a Hero’ – Bonnie Tyler
8.5/10
Very beaty and nice tune.
Comment: ‘House shout is going amazing, and all the other houses should be scared’-Esther O
Howe – ‘P. Y. T. ‘ – Michael Jackson
6/10
Love Michael Jackson, but not the easiest song to sing.
Comment: “No comment. It’s got nothing to do with me.”-Ms Marvel
St V- ‘Give it Up’ – KC and the Sunshine Band
9/10
Quite catchy and simple, but the ‘na, na, na, Na’ bits could be tricky
Comment: “They are giving an energetic performance and might have a trick up their sleeve!”- Matron
Hawke – ‘Our House’ – by Madness
8/10
Another Madness song! Also quite catchy with the repetitions.
Comment: “Great effort and determination. Look out for Hugo’s solo” – Hawke boys
Hopefully you enjoy house shout on today, and may the best house win!
