I don't wanna work. I wanna bang on the drum all day! Here's Todd Rundgren's 1983 well-known chorus in a super-fun arrangement for developing choirs. Sally's creative touch adds a speech chorus, where performers mimic the sounds of various drums in a rhythmic stack. For an inventive twist, double the spoken parts on percussion instruments, buckets, or even coffee cans!

A lively piano accompaniment with optional percussion and body percussion adds energy to this spirited Scottish folk song. The lyrics are filled with nonsense and fun making a humorous choice for programming. It's a terrific piece to teach rhythm and dynamic contrast, and an opportunity to delve into some Scottish folklore, too.

Originating from the busking scene in cities across the nation in the 1980s, street “bucket” drumming has become inseparable from the modern day music teacher catalog due to its reliance on found materials, overabundance of plastic and coolness factor. Paired with choir, this arrangement seamlessly blends the two disciplines into a rock anthem with style!
