Mar 24, 2015 · The Kirkpatrick brothers and O’Farrell have since added three songs, moved one, corrected a lopsided first act, and sliced away at the script. They act on consensus and their guts.
It’s one thing to write songs, and after you’ve been doing it for a while, I know how to write a song, so you bring those skills into that new world. But there are so many

KK: We wrote an opening number which is different than the opening number that’s in now. And people were like, “That’s interesting!”, and the song, Wonderful Life, came next. And then they said, “It seems like it could be a musical.”, so we set about finding other places that we could musicalize in the script.
WK:(laughs) What have we gotten ourselves into? In this particular case and the benefit of also Karey being the director and being involved in the writing of the story, there’s a lot of direction at least from my end from just being involved in the songs and him calling me. We live in different cities; I live in Nashville, he lives in LA. He would ...
KK: Yeah, but have a little something to it, a little bite. We wanted there to be some satiric irony to the song so just in kicking around ideas it was like, he’s singing it’s perfection when it’s clearly not. And that was a phrase, you’re always looking for a good lyrical phrase, a nice percussive word, one that you could build a hook around. (Lik...
KK: Yeah. And probably to the shock and horror to some Queen and David Bowie fans. But, nonetheless it sort of worked. I think I was in a meeting and I sort of said, “Under Pressure.”, and Courtenay Valenti, the president of Warner Bros, was like, “That would be great; that’s perfect for that moment.”. I was like, “Ok well let’s assume we can get U...
KK: We’ve been asked this before, but I think mine’s Let iI Lie, but it would be a toss up between Let It Lie and Wonderful Life. But actually, it’s tricky, I like them all for various reasons. WK: Yeah I think that’s the thing, I mean if you look at it as far as a song that goes hand in hand with the impact of the visuals, Let It Liehas this. It’s...
KK:(laughs) WK: Yeah and it’s kind of aggressive and in that sense, it’s like that is a moment that’s really powerful in the movie. And then, just in general as a song that you also take outside of the movie, I would probably lean towards Wonderful Life. KK: But it’s hard to separate. There’s a moment in the movie which is in Moment of Truthand the...
KK:The original idea actually, Wayne, if you remember… WK:Yeah, with the little baby Yeti. KK:Girl. So there’s a Yeti in the movie; her name is Susie. She’s the young one and has these sort of pigtail pom-poms on her head.
KK: Yeah. The original idea was that Percy and Brenda go up to the caldera where they live and bring the pilot. And they arrive on a helicopter and they’re scared and they sort of reach out. And Brenda drops her iPhone and a song starts playing and Susie starts dancing to it. And then she starts to sing and then we go into this montage that was up ...
KK and WK:(chuckles) KK:Yeah. Go see the movie and bring one million of your closest friends. WK:(laughs)
