Sexy Web

Sexy Web is one of the most amazing instrumental songs ever! As part of the Cirque Du Soleil ensemble, Sexy Web is sung live by a band dressed in insect costumes to blend into the storyline of OVO, one of the many shows that branched out of the Cirque Du Soleil franchise. OVO is centered on the busy lives of insects as they sing, dance, play etc within their environment. Not to mention that these are some very impressive insects that can perform awe-inspiring acrobatics. The show is broken up into separate acrobatic acts without a strong storyline and each act has its own associated song. Sexy Web is the name of the song that was performed by an incredibly flexible “spider”. The song went perfectly with her performance because her body movements matched the rhythm of the relaxing instrumentals: the “spider” made it look genuinely easy and relaxing to bend over backwards. Sexy Web was a compliment to the spider’s performance because as the instrumentals increased in intensity, the spider performed her more difficult pieces, and it made the whole performance more entertaining.
Many times while watching a show, viewers are only drawn to the basic aspects of the performance and not the effort that went into the scenery, music, and special effects. But this song was just as captivating as the performance and captivating enough to make me buy the CD.
