Sing, Sing A Song

This year's Oscar telecast will not feature the nominees for Best Song.  Normally, I'd say huzzah--not only are all those songs the most boring part of the show, but just knowing you'll have to sit through them drags down the rest of the evening.

But this year it's a mistake.  First, for some reason, only two songs are nominated, so it's not that daunting.  Second, the two songs might even be fun this year.

One of them, from Rio, is by Sergio Mendes, and would allow for an exotic, colorful number.  The other is from The Muppets--"Man Or Muppet"--which, pretty obviously, would allow a performance from the Muppets. Why turn down a chance to feature the Muppets?  Afraid they'll outclass Billy Crystal?

How do you say "huzzah"?

More precisely, how do you pronounce it?

With an emphasis on the second syllable.
