Send In The Clowns - pre show music finished


Here, brand new from the Socks, is their version of Send In The Clowns, from the newly-completed (I think, these things can change) audience-in music for Roll Up. Enjoy.

The full running order of the 10 minute sequence that should see the crowd into their seats is:

The Show Must Go On (2'30") - The Leo Sayer classic, but with the little-known Three Dog Night musical introduction. Turns out the Socks voices work perfectly in Leo's key, who knew.

Annie The Elephant (53") - For a while this was part of the show, now it's at home welcoming them in.

Send In The Clowns  (1'37") - During which I expect most people to be seated and for the show to start, but on fuller nights it'll go on longer. In which case they'll hear...

Abracadabra (38") - A cough and a spit verse that made me laugh

For The Benefit Of Mr Kite (33")  - Written purely cos I had a rhyme for Patter Hoose and a rhyme for shite. Pathetic.

Anne Hathaway (50") - Another song that was in the show at one point , now in its place in the grey area of will-they-hear-it-or-won't-they?

The Show Must Go On (again). So if, after seven minutes, they haven't managed to squeeze 60 people into a room, we get another 2 and a half minutes of Leo Sayer impersonation. If they're not in after 10 minutes and 17 seconds, we'll be over-running too badly to contemplate.

If you're interested, last year's Superheroes intro music was a medley of songs, most of which you'll find here in the Superheroes video playlist, and Shakespeare's was a similar very long medley of tunes, which you'll find here in the Shakespeare playlist.

2015's Minging Detectives intro was a Police Reggae Medley you can hear in its entirety here. At 5 minutes 41 it seems to have been the right length, so it looks like we've timed it right this year.
