Only Murders season 3 is on Hulu now.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Only Murders in the Building season 3 has brought fun musical flair to the true crime comedy, with a number of standout pieces like “Look for the Light” that would sound at home in any real-world Broadway show. The song with the biggest story impact, however, is “Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?”, the tongue-twisting patter song Charles-Hayden Savage is set to perform in the in-show musical Death Rattle.
Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman On Only Murders In The Building Screen Rant: I realized you all have worked on the same project in Smash, which I used to watch week to week and was crazy about, but had you ever [actually] collaborated other than just being involved in the same general thing?Benj Pasek: But I do know that they were the nice people who allowed us to get the job on Smash, and that was our first TV job ever.
It's so crazy to us that there’s a TV show on now with these guys and Selena Gomez that's centering all around Broadway this season, and so we were like, "Why don't we continue that spirit? Let's bring along some of our favorite friends." These gentlemen kindly said yes to us, even though they were highly skeptical of what the heck that was going to look like.
Marc Shaiman: Well, everything starts with a story, so we worked from the script and an outline of what the character was, and what the plot of the mystery was. So, we started with Pickwicks and that has a lot of alliteration; that was the beginning of it, I think. Marc Shaiman: A challenge to sing? Yes. I think he really loved the song and I think he was very happy when he was done with it; a combination of the two. But he worked extremely hard. I mean, it was hard. It was a lot of pre-records and singing live, and he had to wrap his tongue around all those vowels. So yes.
Scott Wittman: That's true. I don't know if you've seen the video; the guys have posted some of it. We made a video of just us reciting the lyrics, with Justin and I just playing a little bit, and they just kind of went, "Yeah, that's it." Benj Pasek: I'm sure lingering all of our heads is “Modern Major General” in some way. I don't know that you can ever escape it, just because it looms large in the pantheon of great patter songs.Benj Pasek: Gilbert and Sullivan or some Lerner and Loewe stuff. I don't know; I think we didn't reference anything directly.
Justin Paul: I wasn't able to be there either. I remember texting with some of the music team, and they were like, "I don't know what we're going to do, because we're only going to have maybe two hours to get this whole thing." Of all the songs in the season, it was intentionally the most challenging of all of the songs [and] of all the moments, and so we were like, "How are we going to shortchange this?" But it wasn't shortchanged.
