Beyonce, The Royal Concept, Miley, and Robin Thicke all in one? Listen to the songs you’ll hear in Glee season 5, episode 5 titled “The End of Twerk.”
The new Glee episode airs this Thursday on Fox, and the songs you’ll see performed in just three days have made their way online.
Will, Artie, Jake, Kitty & Bree (Erinn Westbrook) – “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke
Marley – “Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus
Unique – “If I Were a Boy” by Beyoncé
Paolo (Ioan Gruffudd) & Rachel – “You Are Woman, I Am Man” by Barbra Streisand, Louis Armstrong
New Directions – “On Our Way” by The Royal Concept
Some quick research indicates that “You Are Woman, I Am Man” is from the movie Funny Girl and was originally performed by Louis Armstrong and Barbra Streisand. It’s a classy song that will turn the episode on its head compared to the other Top 40 hits in the set list. Streisand is one of Lea Michele’s favorite artists.
A preview for “The End of Twerk” shows the cast doing their best twerking during “Blurred Lines” as Principal Sylvester vows to end twerking “once and for all.”
Reads the episode’s synopsis, “The glee club learns the dance of the hour: twerking. Meanwhile, Marley discovers Jake’s relationship with Bree, and Rachel (Lea Michele) tries to convince Kurt they both should get tattoos.”
