We were like Marine Corps, stealing cookies from Girl GuidesĪnd the winner of the Uranium City debate: Miss Rosenberg… and that other kidĭon’t play the game unless you play to win The next day at the school debate, my mom’s advice applied This candy-coated recipe of black and white morality Oh, the tale of human history is one of damn’ed battery “How can you say that Adolf Hitler was a saint?” Quote some fake authorities and unrelated factsĬreate a false dilemma like, “you’re with us or you ain’t” Then your foe’s a godless hedonistic slutĭemonize your opponents with personal attacks If the judge seems like a holy hostile Pentecostal The art to win an argument ain’t changed much over time She told me something that goes a little something like Incentive: If you do well at this debate, you can come live with me… me… me… me… So I called mom and I told her the whole story Your words, so pure, your papa’s proud, the truth was by your sideĪw, pumpkin, you need to speak to one of your friends? Oh daughter dear you fill my heart with pride The solvent in this scenario naturally being a talking Karl Marx puppet head that manifests in Ocean's mind as an angel. Later in the song she is put on the spot in a debate against a wheelchair bound child who is terminally ill, and she has to choose between winning it all and putting her morality aside like her mother wants, and doing the right thing and letting the dying boy win even if it means sacrificing the win for herself, like her father wants. (Played by Kholby Wardell or "Noel Gruber") A left-wing hippie whose goals are for his daughter to do the right thing. Play to Win depicts Ocean having a crisis while she questions her morals, where one half of her brain is represented by her mother, a hard right wing twisted control freak, (Played by Sarah Peltzer or "Jane Doe") and the other her father. Play To Win was also originally written when the plot did not involve one choir member having the ability to come back to life, causing Ocean's song to be more about her achievements in life and not what she would achieve if she were to be brought back. When the show came to America, it was decided that Ocean would play the role of the "main character" and she would need to have a beginning and end to her narrative in the show. It was initially written for Ride The Cyclone when it was a part of the Atomic Vaudeville cabaret show, and didn't set Ocean up for a development and change in attitude by the end of the musical, like her song (What the World Needs) does now. Play To Win was replaced with 'What the World Needs' when Ride the Cyclone started touring in the United States, primarily due to the fact it had been used since the very first workshops and did not suit a plot-oriented musical format. That smile is abit too big.Play To Win was Ocean O'Connell Rosenberg's original song used from 2008-2013 productions of Ride The Cyclone.
