Changes: Hell to the No

Revision as of 16:58, 12 September 2016

Hell to the No is an original song featured in Original Song, the sixteenth episode of Season Two. It is sung by Mercedes, with the New Directions Girls singing back-up.

"Hell to the no!" is based on off Mercedes' catchphrase. After her performance, Mr. Schuester says the song is great, but "not Regionals material," much to Mercedes' dismay. However, this song ends up being the title track of Mercedes' first album.

- Mercedes spells out "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" during the song, which was her Glee Club audition song in the Pilot episode.
