The cast is second behind The Beatles for most chart appearances by a group act in the Billboard Hot 100's history, and holds the record of sixth overall among all artists, with sixty-nine appearances. The cast has sold over thirty six million and over eleven million albums worldwide. The series' cover versions have also had a positive effect on the original recording artists, with sales of Rihanna's "Take a Bow" increasing by 189 percent after the song was covered in the Glee episode "Showmance".

The series features covers of numerous songs sung on-screen by the characters. Musical segments typically take the form of performances, as opposed to the characters singing spontaneously, as the intention is for the series to remain reality-based. Murphy is responsible for selecting all of the songs used, and strives to maintain a balance between show tunes and chart hits, as: "I want there to be something for everybody in every episode. That's a tricky mix, but that's very important — the balancing of that." Song choices are integral to script development, with Murphy explaining: "Each episode has a theme at its core. After I write the script, I will choose songs that help to move the story along."

Glee is choreographed by Zach Woodlee, and features five to eight production numbers per episode. Once music rights are cleared, songs are arranged and pre-recorded by the cast. Woodlee constructs the accompanying dance moves, which are then taught to the cast and filmed. Numbers can take several weeks to prepare, depending on complexity. Each episode costs at least $3 million to produce, and can take up to 10 days to film as a result of the elaborate choreography.

Do Ya Think I'm Sexy
Glee Cast Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Sugar
Sugar
Ooh

She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all her questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so

He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on, honey, let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so

His heart's beating like a drum
'Cause at last he's got his girl home
Relax, baby, now we're all alone

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, honey, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, sugar, let me know

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, honey, tell me so
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, sugar, let me know

If you want my body

Overall Meaning

The Glee Cast's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" is a playful and flirtatious song about a man and a woman who are attracted to each other. In the song, the woman sits alone, waiting for the man to suggest something, while he nervously avoids her questions. Their hearts pound as they both wonder if the other thinks they're sexy. Eventually, they decide to be together and head to the man's apartment. The chorus of the song repeats the same lines, with the man and woman asking each other if they want their bodies and letting each other know they should just reach out and touch them.

The lyrics of the song are relatively simple, focusing almost entirely on the physical attraction between the two characters. However, the song is catchy and fun, and the repetition of the chorus gives it a sense of playfulness and flirtation. The lyrics are suggestive rather than explicit, leaving a lot to the imagination and allowing listeners to fill in the blanks with their own fantasies.
