Comments: I was asked to do a real-life wedding arrangement of "He'll Make Me Happy", Miss Piggy and Kermit's wedding song in the movie "The Muppets Take Manhattan". The problem was that the real-life preacher said only "holy" songs could be sung in his church. So I just changed a few lyrics, for example "Lord, make them happy". In addition, I bookended the tune with an Amen intro and an Amen tag.

What you see/hear with this piece is the fusion of that intro and tag into one big, fat Amen - a God Bless Y'all kinda of creation.

I just held my breath, hoping the preacher man never discovered the song was about a pig and frog getting married. As I understand, next summer, the US Supreme Court is to rule on the legality of that kind of thing.

This "tag" can be used with lots of existing church songs. Complete arrangement (normal and holy versions) available from David Lorenz.
