Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: The Secrets Behind Season 2's Awesome Songs

There's certainly enough for a double album -- or in Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) and Titus' (Tituss Burgess) case, a double Columbia House cassingle -- between Season 1's addictive earworms and the hefty batch of hilarious new songs in Season 2.

Other times, it was as big of an undertaking as translating a song into Japanese for Titus' past-life geisha or creating fake Broadway tunes for a fake Great American Songbook.

Having played piano in improv theater so much, people tend to make up songs and you would find different ways to do musical theater styles.

Wanting to incorporate music organically, the writers landed on Titus expressing his happiness about his new relationship with Mikey (Mike Carlsen) through song.

[...] this happens often with comedy writers -- they're so skilled at writing their jokes and they have such funny, wonderful thoughts and ideas of couplets, and then you get it and then you have to kind of shape it to feel like it would sound like a song from the American Songbook would.

Titus' hilarious, flu-stricken improv audition piece about teeth in Episode 12 was written into the script.

Richmond cameos in the scene as the piano player, "pretending to try to catch up to him."

There is a solid joke -- he couldn't rap or walk in a circle, I think Titus says -- which is hilarious.
