Lyrics

Featuring the Moron Traveshamock Choir, John Fitzpatrick, Brad Weiss, and Kjerstin Ohnstad

Recently the Littles write
Emails we have heard exchanged
With her Classical insights
She’ll understand our refrain

Gretchen Wu in excelsis Deo
Gretchen Wu in excelsis Deo

Littles why this excess of
Correspondence and snide jokes?
Seems we never tire of
One who’s hijacked TK’s show

Gretchen Wu in excelsis Deo
Gretchen Wu in excelsis Deo

AKA Angels We Have Heard on High

    Time to be thinking of patriotic Wu songs for the 4th. Give me Gretchen or give me death. Libertas, Equalitas, pro patria!

    Speaking of hiding things in talent and hilarity - I see what you did there... being this time of year and all... "foresaw the ADVENT"

    You all sing so beautifully! I love this so much. I wish the kids were still around. I'd definitely try to slip this one among the other holiday songs to see if they'd notice. I'm sure there must be some Gretchen in some alternate universe who foresaw the advent of these jingles, but this Gretchen is still super impressed and surprised and overwhelmed; I keep thinking the only reason people are not totally sick of hearing my name is that those writing jingles and emails are hiding it in talent and hilarity.

    This is so funny... Brilliant idea, and sounds great. I wonder if any version of Gretchen in all the multiple universes ever saw all these jingles coming... and if so, did she still send in that original email.

    Me too. The refrain gets me giggling every time! I'm glad we had 2 pauses in there; otherwise, I'm not sure if I could get through it.

    Another Christmas jingle hit out of the park. I'm with Steve. I'll never be able to hear this in church ever again without thinking of Gretchen.
