This one might be my favorite on the album, full stop. And if you’ve watched the films countless times as I have, you’re picturing the campy scenes as you listen, so that’s fun.
The version on this album is basically the same version that has been featured in the beloved films but I think the sense of nostalgia that it evokes reserves it a well-deserved place on my list.
It features some popular phrases that Wonka, in all of his madness, says backwards and then to “strike that, reverse it.” An example is “what’s here tomorrow’s gone today,” which of course is supposed to be “what’s here today’s gone tomorrow.”Ĭome on, this one’s a classic. The song has the fast-moving intricate lyrics, my favorite. This one shows just how zany Wonka is, and Borle seems to play into it perfectly. The sound itself is similar to classic Broadway, and Borle’s voice is wonderfully smooth. This song has Willy Wonka talking about his factory and basically saying what the title says, that in order for the magic of the factory to appear one must believe in it. This is the first song on the album that actually feels like a new, original Broadway track. The contrast makes for a fun effect, and Mike’s verses especially are fun to jam out to and remind me of something like American Idiot or Spring Awakening. She’s more old-fashioned, and her verses in the song show that, whereas his verses have a distinct rock sound. This song is a fun one because it shows the contrast between Mike Teevee and his mother. The following are my Top Five favorite songs from the original cast recording. He and four other golden ticket winners will embark on a mesmerizing, life-changing journey through Wonka’s wondrous world. That includes young Charlie Bucket, whose life definitely needs sweetening. His marvelous-and mysterious-factory is opening its gates…to a lucky few.
