Question: What is the name of this song from Wicked!?
There is this song I like that's from the musical Wicked but I'm not sure what the name of it is!. It starts out with them writing a letter to their parents and then talking about how much they hate each other!. They keep saying "loathing" over and over again so I thought that was the name of it but it's not!. Does anyone know the name of the song I'm talking about!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Lyrics:

GLINDA
(spoken) Dearest, darlingest momsie and popsicle

ELPHABA
(spoken) My dear father

BOTH
There’s been some confusion
Over rooming here at Shiz

ELPHABA
But of Course I’ll care for Nessa

GLINDA
But Of course I’ll rise above it

BOTH
‘Cause I know that’s how you’d want me to respond, yes
There’s been some confusion for you see my roommate is

GLINDA
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
and altogether quite impossible to describe

ELPHABA
(spoken) Blonde

GLINDA
What is this feeling so sudden and new

ELPHABA
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you

GLINDA
My pulse is rushing

ELPHABA
My head is reeling

GLINDA
My face is flushing

BOTH
What is this feeling
Fervid as a flame
Does it have a name
Yeee-es

Loathing, unadulterated loathing

GLINDA
For your face

ELPHABA
Your voice

GLINDA
Your clothing

BOTH
Let’s just say, I loathe it all
Every little trait however small
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple utter loathing
There’s such strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It’s so pure, so strong
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing
Loathing you
My whole life long!

STUDENTS
Dear Glinda you are just too good
How do you stand it I don’t think I could
She’s a terror she’s a tartar
We don’t mean to show a bias
But Glinda you’re a martyr

GLINDA
Well, these things are sent to try us

STUDENTS
Poor Glinda forced to reside
With someone so disgustifified
We want to tell you
We’re all on your side!!

We share your loathing (Both: What is this feeling so sudden and new)
Unadulterated loathing (Both: I felt the moment I laid eyes on you)
For her face, her voice, her clothing (Both: My pulse is rushing)
Let’s just say (Both: My head is reeling)
We loathe it all! (Both: Oh what is this feeling)
Every little trait however small (Both: Does it have a name)
Makes our very flesh begin to crawl (Both: Yes)

ALL
A-ah

BOTH
Loathing (Students: Loathing)
There’s such strange exhilaration (Students: Loathing)
In such total detestation (Students: Loathing)
It’s so pure so strong (Students: So strong)
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing for forever (Students: Loathing)
Loathing truly, deeply (Students: Loathing)
Loathing you (Students: Loathing, loathing you)
My whole life long (Students: Loathing, unadulterated loathing!)
ELPHABA
(spoken) Boo!
GLINDA
(spoken) Ah!Www@QuestionHome@Com
