What's The Buzz Text
APOSTLES
What's the buzz?
Tell me what's a-happening. (Repeat 8 times)
JESUS
Why should you want to know?
Don't you mind about the future?
Don't you try to think ahead?
Save tomorrow for tomorrow;
Think about today instead.
APOSTLES
What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)
JESUS
I could give you facts and figures.
Even give you plans and forecasts.
Even tell you where I'm going.
APOSTLES
When do we ride into Jerusalem? (Repeat many times)
JESUS
Why should you want to know?
Why are you obsessed with fighting
Times and fates you can't defy?
If you knew the path we're riding,
You'd understand it less than I.
APOSTLES
What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)
MARY MAGDALENE
Let me try to cool down your face a bit. (Repeat 5 times)
JESUS
Mary that is good,
While you prattle through your supper,
Where and when and who and how.
She alone has tried to give me
What I need right here and now.

"What's The Buzz" in "Jesus Christ Superstar" portrays a scene of contrast betwren Jesus and his followers. The apostles persistently inquire about immediate events, reflecting a natural human inclination towards curiosity and the need for understanding upcoming events. This chorus of questions symbolizes a universal human desire to grasp and possibly control the future.
Conversely, Jesus responds with a philosophical perspective, questioning their nwed for such information. His retort, "Why should you want to know?" highlights a deeper thought process. He emphasizes living in the present and not being burdened by the future, suggesting a focus on the current moment rather than obsessing over what is yet to come.
This song encapsulates a crucial thematic element of the musical - the dichotomy between human curiosity and the wisdom of mindfulness and living in the present. It contrasts earthly concerns with spiritual mindfulness, illustrating the differing priorities and perceptions between Jesus and his followers.
