Changes: Topsy Turvy

Revision as of 02:45, 19 November 2019

"Topsy Turvy" is the third song of Disney's 1996 animated feature film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The choral introduction of "Come one, come all" was reminiscent of the main theme of "The Bells of Notre Dame" as the opening of the scene was displayed with beautiful views of the Cathedral. The main theme, Topsy Turvy, was a vivacious, light and energetic movement that features comedic lyrics that interplayed between Clopin and the chorus. Upon the realization that Quasimodo was actually that disfigured, the theme from the introduction of "Out There" was developed upon furthermore as Frollo saw him and became furious, angry, and livid at his insubordination.

Plot

It's the Festival of Fools, and the bouncy number was led by Clopin, the host of the event. After describing the events on Topsy-Turvy Day, there was a lengthy dance by Esmeralda, setting up the bulk of the movie's plot as Frollo, Phoebus, and Quasimodo all became enamored with her at the same time. At the end of the song, Quasimodo was crowned the King of Fools, and received warmly, before things took a sharp turn for the worst.

Lyrics

Chorus: Come one, come all
Leave your looms and milking stools,
Coop the hens and pen the mules
Come one, come all
Close the churches and the schools
It's the day for breaking rules
Come and join the Feast of...

Clopin: ...Fools!

Once a year, we throw a party here in town
Once a year, we turn all Paris upside down
Every man's a king and every king's a clown
Once again it's Topsy Turvy Day

It's the day the devil in us gets released (Good is bad and best is worst and west is east)
It's the day we mock the prig and shock the priest (On the day we think the most of those with least)
Everything is topsy turvy
At the Feast of Fools

Chorus: Topsy Turvy

Trivia

The lyrics "It's the day the devil in us gets released, It's the day we mock the prig and shock the priest" were changed to "Good is bad and best is worst and west is east, On the day we think the most of those with least" in some merchandises due to mature themes.
Due to his knowledge of Quasimodo's past, Clopin seemed to have realized that the hooded figure was Quasimodo and intentionally followed him to pull him out of hiding in order to introduce him to the public to get rid of his shyness and make sure that Quasimodo enjoys himself. This was evidenced by the following.
- When Quasimodo hid his face behind some balloons, Clopin cut the strings with a large pair of scissors.
- When Quasimodo hid in a closed puppet show, Clopin pulled open the curtains to reveal Quasi to the children.
- Before Esmeralda's dance, Clopin pushed Quasimodo to the front of the stage.
- During the crowning of the "King of Fools" Clopin encouraged Quasimodo with the lyrics "ugly folks, forget your shyness" and "you could soon be called Your Highness".
- And finally, when Esmeralda attempted to unmask Quasimodo, prompting reactions of fear and disgust from the crowd, Clopin justified Quasi's appearance by crowning him the King of Fools.
At one point, a "horse with two rear ends" costume can be seen during the song. This is a possible reference to an insult Aladdin gave Prince Achmed and his horse after Achmed humiliated him in front of a crowd.
The Sing-Along Songs version of the song noticeably removed Esmeralda's pole dance due to its mature content.
The Sixth of "Januervy" historically was observed by the Catholic Church as the Feast of the Epiphany or la fête des rois in France. A tradition on that day is to have king's cake or galette des rois, with the person who found the toy king being crowned king for the day.
- This tradition was later transplanted into Mardi Gras, of which the traditional colors of green, gold, and violet are worn by Quasi and Clopin respectively
The historic Feast of Fools occurs on the Monday before Mardi Gras.

-==Musical Version==
-'''Drunter drüber''' (Topsy Turvy) is similar to the Disney version but there are a lot of big little differences. A quick staccato introduces the song and seems like people running to get there in time for the start. Then it follows the songs with the crowds and Clopin. Quasimodo get some lines here to the tune of Out There (Draußen {His Leitmotif}). Also the music of Esmerlada’s dance is different. It’s slower and sounds more like what is typically considered “Gyspy Music.” So you can imagine her dance is not the pole dance of the Disney movie, but you couldn’t really have a stage actress performing the moves Esmeralda did in the movie plus in the book, I don’t think Esmeralda would have done the those moves either. So the slow tempo dance music is a nice mitigation
-Drunter Drüber is akin to the Disney version but the difference makes it interesting and fun in its own right.
