Superstition by Stevie Wonder is featured in Wonder-ful, the twenty-first episode of Season Four. It is sung by Blaine, Marley, and Mercedes, and accompanied by the New Directions. Kurt and Mike sing the backing vocals.

In the auditorium, the Glee Club begins their rehearsal for Regionals with this Stevie Wonder song. Mercedes tests Marley's breath control and lectures the Glee Club about their loss at Sectionals due to fear. Mercedes asks the band to begin playing the instruments and asks everyone to shake out the fear and their nerves. She dedicates the song to Kurt due to what he is going through recently with his father and asks Marley to hit it all with the high notes.

Jake displays his talented dance moves throughout the song, which Mercedes and Mike take to note after the performance. The New Directions assist Mercedes, Marley, and Blaine with back-up singing and dancing. Marley belts out her high notes during the song which impresses everyone else. At the end of the song, the group cheers as Marley and Mercedes hug. 

Lyrics[]

Mercedes:
Very superstitious, writings on the wall
Very superstitious!
Ladders 'bout to fall

Mercedes with Alumni and New Directions harmonizing (Marley):
Thirteen month old baby
Broke the lookin' glass, yeah
Seven years of bad luck, yeah
The good things in your past, oh

When you believe in things that you don't understand (Don't understand!)
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way (Hey, yeah!)

Blaine:
Ooo, very superstitious, wash your face and hand
Rid me of the problems, do all that you can
 
Blaine with Alumni and New Directions harmonizing (with Mercedes):
Keep me in a daydream
Keep me goin' strong
You don't wanna save me
Sad is my song

When you believe in things (that you don't understand)
Then you suffer (Mercedes: Then you suffer)
Superstition ain't the way, yeah, yeah, hey, hey

Marley:
Oooooh!

Mercedes:
Hey, yea!

Marley:
Oh Yeah...

Very superstitious
Nothin' more to say
Very superstitious!
The devil's on his way

Marley with Alumni and New Directions harmonizing:
Thirteen month old baby! Mmm,
Broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck
Good things in your past, oh, whoa!

When you believe in things you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way!

Mercedes with Alumni and New Directions harmonizing:
No, no, no, no, no!
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer!

Blaine, Marley, and Mercedes:
Superstition ain't the way!

Trivia[]

  • The title of the performance that GleeOnFox uploaded was called 'Superstitious'.
  • This was originally meant to be a Blaine and Mercedes duet, but they added Marley in the final script.
    • Had Marley not been added, Blaine would have been able to have had a duet with all of the original six New Directions members by City of Angels.
  • This is the only Stevie Wonder song that isn't a solo.
  • Harry Shum Jr. and Chris Colfer recorded the backing vocals.

Mistakes[]

  • Mercedes starts to sing seconds before the lyrics are actually heard.
