It has to be said, one of the best things about Glee is the awesome soundtrack. From classic rock to Liza Minnelli, it can't be watched without the joy of hearing unexpected songs turned into amazing arrangements by the teeny-boppers to end all teeny-boppers. As much as everyone loves the characters, ƚŚĞƌĞΖƐ ŶŽ ĚĞŶǇŝŶŐ ƚŚĂƚ Ăůů ƚŚĞ ŵĞŶ ĂƌĞ ƉƌĞƩǇ much dogs, so I propose this song by the Welsh queen of 80s hair. The song already has the musical theatre-esque “Doo doo doo doooooooo” sung by a choir, so an arrangement wouldn't be too unfaithful to the original masterpiece. As for someone to sing it, Emma is the obvious choice. She's hung up on a married ŵĂŶ ǁŚŝůĞ ĚĂƟŶŐ Ă ŵĂŶ ƐŚĞ ŚĂƐ ŶŽ ŝŶƚĞƌĞƐƚ ŝŶ Ͳ ŝĨ anyone needs a hero in this show, it's her. Micha Butler
