We Got It

"We Got It" is the final song from the first act of the musical Over Here!, which opened on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre (Broadway) on March 6, 1974. The song was written by Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman.

Placement in the storyline

The "DePaul Sisters" (played by the Andrews Sisters) could not function as a singing act because they were only a duet. What they were missing throughout the first act was a third singer. (This plot device mirrors the Andrews Sisters' real life tragic dilemma of LaVerne Andrews death in 1967 which by default broke up their singing group.) By the addition of Mitzi to the group, they had their third singer and were on their way to the "big time". It is at this point in the plotline that "We Got It" is performed.

gollark: I've read two and heard of one other dystopia novel built around the "disputes settled with single combat" thing, which is kind of a bad sign for the idea of allocating resources that way.
gollark: But... otherwise yes.
gollark: Oh, sure, fights with people who actually want to participate in them would be okay.
gollark: You still run into externalities like, er, carbon dioxide.
gollark: Ideally we'd be able to partition Earth into... lots of... different areas, set up different governments in each with people who like each one in them, magically fix externalities between them and stop them going to war or something, somehow deal with the issue of ensuring children in each society have a reasonable choice of where to go, and allowing people to be exiled to some other society in lieu of punishment there - assuming other ones will take them, obviously. But that is impractical.
