Wishin' And Hoping by Dionne Warwick is featured in What the World Needs Now, the sixth episode of Season Six. It is sung by Artie, Blaine, Brittany, and Sam.
Brittany brings Artie to her room and asks him to be her wedding planner, as Artie says he is honored and also confused. Brittany states that he hasn't done anything for the year and he's a director, bring her vision to life. She lists off themes that reminds her of Santana, including "Scissors", "Sweet Lady Kisses", and "Tuna", as suggested by Lord Tubbington. She then says "heaven" and Artie ask her to elaborate on that. She states that it feels like she is in heaven when she's with Santana and angel wings also reminds Britt of her. The scene cuts to an imaginary sequence where Brittany, Artie, Blaine, and Sam, dressed as angels and heaven themed, perform this song with the "angels". Sam and Blaine are on swings, and Lord Tubbington is eating a can of Tuna while wearing angel wings. Artie likes the idea of this concept but Brittany doesn't, suggesting "Underworld" might be better.
Lyrics[]
Brittany with Alumni:
Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' each night of her charms
Brittany:
That won't get you into her arms
So if you're lookin' to find love you can share
Artie:
All you gotta do is
Artie with Brittany:
Hold her and kiss her and love her
And show her that you care
Blaine with Sam:
Show her that you care just for her
Do the things she likes to do
Wear your hair just for her, cause
Blaine and Sam:
You won't get her
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and a-hopin'
