Ariana Grande’s improvisational lyrics on ‘Don’t Look Up’ are perfect for 2022
“Ariana Grande definitely did improv. In fact, her best improvisation was when she sang the song for the first time. She was the one who added all of that about ‘We’re all going to die.’ ‘ and ‘Turn it off *** box news.’ That’s where she sings on the first verse of the tune. And the second I heard it, I was like, ‘That’s going to happen in the movies. .’ And that’s probably one of my favorite moments in the movie where you have pretty much the biggest pop star in the world singing, ‘We’re all going to die.’ Every time I see it, it just has hilarious cognitive dissonance with it. So Ariana Grande can definitely improvise,” McKay said.
“We really fit that, got it done this time / So close, I can feel the heat / And you can act like everything is fine / But this is probably happening out in real time / Celebrate or cry or pray, whatever it takes / To get you through the mess we’ve made / ‘Because tomorrow may never come / Just look up / Turn it off *** Fox News /’ Because you’re going to die people.”
The film stars Leonardo Dicaprio and Jennifer Lawrence as doctors Randall Mindy and Kate Dibiasky. The cast also includes Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Rob Morgan, Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry and Timothée Chalamet.
