No Good Deed (Wicked) 【covered by Anna】
29,176-No Good Deed (Wicked) 【covered by Anna】
I covered No Good Deed from Wicked because who doesn’t love singing a good rock ballad on a Monday afternoon?
I think most broadway fans and performers have a very special place in our hearts for the Wicked musical. One way or another it started us down this path. I remember performing Popular as a 13 y/o at a singing camp and suddenly discovering this whole sub genre of music that fit my voice. The musical really influenced so much about theater culture as it is today and I feel like its right to give homage to this musical at least once because without it, I don’t think I’d be here doing what I do and discovering what I loved.
That being said, we all know Wicked can be overdone. I feel like this is one of the most raw and real songs from the whole show. I love the bitterness, I love the emotion, the power. I love the vulnerability you get to see/hear Elphaba experience. Recording this song was one of the most enjoyable sessions I’ve ever done.
Speaking of recording, I’ve been having issues with my software and computer. It lags really badly and records about a second or 2 out of time which means I have to go in manually and re-adjust it. This has been a bit of an issue so some timing in this cover is a little wonky but I’m working on it, I promise!
Next Saturday’s video will be something I’m not sure what because I actually haven’t recorded anything this week but I guess we’ll find out next week
See you all then!
The lovely fanart at the end of the video is drawn by Moosh (https://www.deviantart.com/mooshroom44444) from Discord! Thank you so much!

LYRICS:
Fiyero!
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen...
Let his flesh not be torn
Let his blood leave no stain
Though they beat him
Let him feel no pain
Let his bones never break
And however they try
To destroy him
Let him never die
Let him never die
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka... eleka...
Ugh! What good is this chanting?
I don't even know what I'm reading
I don't even know what trick I ought to try
Fiyero, where are you? Already dead or bleeding?
One more disaster I can add to my generous supply?
No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished...
Nessa...
Doctor Dillamond...
Fiyero...
Fiyero!
One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention:
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why...
No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well—
Well, look at what well-meant did...
All right, enough—
So be it
So be it then:
Let all Oz be agreed
I'm wicked through and through
Since I can not succeed
Fiyero, saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do
Again
Ever again
No good deed
Will I do
Again!
