Useful detail

Performance tip

When rehearsing Walk Idiot Walk, aim the repeated questions at one imagined listener so they sound intentional rather than merely recited. Rehearse that transition in Walk Idiot Walk before worrying about stage movement.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Walk Idiot Walk is worth singing if a conversational approach to its questioning lines comes naturally to you. Expect more changing verse text than repeated hook material and fairly active phrasing. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
