“Shipoopi” is a song in the 1957 musical The Music Man. The song is sung by the character Marcellus Washburn, frien of Harold Hill. In the play, the song is about finding love and occurs at about the same time that Marian begins to fall for Professor Hill’s wooing. Some adaptations of the musical don’t feature Harold and Marian at the dance, and it is not acknowledged that the song is specifically about them, so the song may be regarded as somewhat of a non sequitur.
