Synopsis:
A series of hilarious
scenes depict the
different types of
Interjections: Hurray!
- cheerleading squad;
Aw! - pitcher on the
mound when it starts
to rain; Eeek! - snake
scared by a girl;
Rats! - go-cart racer
whose wheel falls of;
Wow! - teen with A+
report card; Hey! - little
girl learning to ride a
two-wheeler.
Trivia:
Our favorite "Darn! That's the End!" girl is
the voice of Tom Yohe's daughter, Lauren,
who was then just six years old. Tom Yohe,
Jr. - now an advertising art director like his
father - provided the voice for Reginald.
And Lynn Ahrens added the "Wow!" for the
girl with the A+.
Co-producer Radford Stone is the voice of
the outraged fan reacting to the quarterback
Franklin's confusion: Aw! You threw the wrong
way!" it only took Stone six takes.
This was Lynn Ahrens' favorite segment in terms
of the animation.
The song borrows its classical finale from Handel's
Messiah, "The Hallelujah Chorus."
