This version of “Tune Up #1” in RENT is sung by Jonathan Larson himself. The song introduces Mark Cohen and Roger Davis, two principal characters in the musical. Mark is making a documentary about his life, and Roger is attempting to write “one great song” before AIDS takes his life.

Rent, by Jonathan Larson
It begins on Christmas Eve
With Mark, that's me, and Roger - smile!
Hmm
December 24, 9 PM Eastern Standard Time
From here on in, I shoot without a script
See if anything comes of it, instead of my old shit

Tell the folks at home what you're doing, Roger
I'm writing one great-
