Yep! They did this to express what the characters want the songs to be. Noel wished this was a song about his life, so it’s a lament, and vice-versa for Jane! 😊
fun fact: the line "my life's one never-ending carnival" in the chorus is in reference to the fact that he died on a fairground, and he's also super nihilistic so of Course he would reference his own death
It could also be referencing Carnaval, the time between the 12th night of Christmas and Mardi Gras. It’s a very French thing. There’s a ton of big events and parties happening, as Mardi Gras is the last day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. “A whirl of boozy floozy flashing light” is definitely giving me Carnaval.
One thing about Noel's Lament-- I LOVE the way he pronounces words. The vowel sounds almost sound like a Boston or a New York accent and they're just SO SATISFYING and full sounding.
In the Priest scene I love when he says oui, tell him that like, I choose to burn out rather than fade awayy. With a little french accent like, a french woman speaking english. Cuz he wanted to be a hooker in France, instead of Canada.
For anyone wondering, the thing the others are chanting at the end is as followed: Broken hearts, a flask of Gin Tattooed with a safety pin Teeth all stained with nicotine Running nylons, shattered dreams Super crusty, holy terror Wild eyes, and black mascara Also can't wait till you get to the new birthday song, it's super sweet and takes place right after the ballad of jane doe
You can also see that the other character's roles in his song have to do wit how much he likes them. Ocean mainly stays in th e back because he hates her, while Mischa is VERY prominent in the song.
honestly the screaming theory makes a lot of sense. i’m pretty sure jane doe’s is true (as in a cast member confirmed that it’s supposed to be her screaming), especially considering that the way she’s flying is supposed to replicate the path of the rollercoaster. I think the others might all have it too. I mean, at the end of every single character song, there’s a HUGE high note that they all do (it might be more obvious in the cast recordings) right at the end of the song. I know that’s pretty typical for musical theatre songs, but idk, considering the theme of this show, I think it could def be possible. very excited for you to see the high note in space age bachelor man!!
Oh 100%. The character songs except This Song Is Awesome are the only songs that end with that super high note. Fall Fair Suite/Uranium Suite, Every Story’s Got A Lesson, The New Birthday Song, and It’s Not A Game/It’s Just A Ride don’t. That has to be intentional.
Ashley got Noel’s attitude spot on he idolised trashed and was disappointed that he didn’t live the life he wanted by leaving his small town where he was the only gay guy he even had a mini monologue about how he wanted ‘bad love’
13:48 I love how Noel is singing his part while the rest of the cast are all singing something else, idk how to explain it, but I feel like it makes the song sound better, like I feel the song would be dry in a way of it was just Noel singing the “giiiririririrll” part.
I agree! I think it adds to that chaos that we all secretly love! It’s the same feeling a melodic piece or dissonance makes us feel! That something is just Slightly off! Thanks for watching!
I saw this in Washington DC a few days ago (obviously, different cast), but I was right near the front and when he rolled on the floor and looked up, he looked straight into my eyes and I froze..
@@singwithAshley omg, YES!! What state are you in? I would SO come to see it, lol.. I love, love, love your perspective and the fact that you're a vocal coach AND art director and can predict what's going to happen before it does.. after watching a few of your reactions I began to suspect you might be psychic.. or a witch with that red hair. (I'm a redhead too so I can say that..)
Okay, everybody is suggesting Space Age Bachelor Man and considering how much fun you had watching Noel hit that falsetto over and over again, I can imagine how much fun you'll have watching Ricky's solo BUT PLEASE FAIR WARNING: It gets weird... Like, weirder than usual Ride The Cyclone weird... Just- Yeah- Please keep that in mind 😭 Otherwise, great video! Can't wait for whatever you put up next!
It helps to know he is the one actor who begsn in that role from earliest stages of the shows development through to this performance being recorded. This is his number. He owns it entirely. Could probably do it in his sleep by that point including the moves on the chair in heels.
kholby is amazing!! He’s been playing this role since the shows very beginning so it’s no surprise that he’s incredible at it! Please do sugar cloud next Constance is my favourite character and her song always makes me cry :)
yeah and to my knowledge and in a few videos i’ve seen, noels lament stayed pretty similar, at least compared to the other songs, so he had more time to master the song and didn’t have to go through too many changes
The comment about him doing this all in heels reminded me of something else - the wig! The wig staying on during his whole thing of rolling around and spinning, after he flipped it onto his head in two seconds, is crazy! The actor who plays him said that he had no idea how it stayed on for so long. It's funny imagining if that wig flew off of his head at some point and they all had to pretend nothing happened. ((Btw, my vote for the next song is Jawbreaker/Sugar Cloud!))
one of my favorite things abt this song is how kholby (the guy who plays him) still connects with his role and still has fun with it whenever he sings it or recites his lines
Lots of people recommending rtc songs (and they're right, they're all bangers) so I'll throw in Fall Fair Suite, the opening number/one of the only ensemble numbers. There are several versions of the opening number throughout the years - Uranium Suite is the one that made it onto the cast album, but I thought I'd let you know that if you're ever looking and get confused by the multiple versions, Fall Fair Suite is the one from the production you've been watching (and my personal fave)! It's super cool to see them all sing together
I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone suggest What the World Needs. And honestly, I think you’d really enjoy it! The girl who plays Ocean is very talented! But of course Space Age Bachelor Man is a great choice too! But I’d love to see what you think about What The World Needs.
You comparing his voice to Tarzan is great-I’ve harbored the pet theory that he does that growly voice bc he’s trying to imitate a chain smoking film noir lady by mimicking a smoker’s rasp during the “speaking” parts. Also, I imagine that’s easier for the actor to keep up than trying to hold a higher “feminine” voice for a monologue.
Yay! I haven’t watched this yet (typing this as I’m watching the intro) but I’m so glad you got to Noel’s Lament! My favorite (tied with The Ballad of Jane Doe)!!
I've only ever heard the screams of the cyclone disaster referenced in Jane Doe's song and not in Noel's, but now that I know that theory exists and it could be in all the songs, I hear it most in Ocean's (What The World Needs) and Ricky's (Space Age Bachelor Man). I can sort of hear it in Mischa's second song (Talia) and I'll need to listen to Constance's again to find it (Jawbreaker/Sugarcloud) but daaaamn. Yep, ok, I've fallen in love with this musical all over again. As everyone else is recommending the other character songs, I'll throw in Fall Fair Suite (which is an ensemble piece from the production you're watching - it got changed to Uranium Suite in the cast album) and also It's Not A Game/It's Just A Ride. Personally, I like the version of Game/Ride better in the production you've been watching so far compared to the cast album version; I think mostly because of the way Karnak talks in it ;) iykyk So glad you're having such a fun time with this musical, enjoy the rest of it ^-^ Edit: oh, but if you do want to react to Sugarcloud, I recommend this one (ua-cam.com/video/OaOEVE3vKMw/v-deo.html) because it has the monologue that builds up this song beautifully. If you want to keep the reaction purely fresh then that's fine, but I do highly recommend checking out the monologue with the song afterwards in your own time because it's so well written and performed.
I feel like that other section you're thinking about sounds like Fiddler on the Roof in the upbeat sections. Think like "If I was a rich man yabidibidibi, etc." Kinda points back to this all being something that he's wishing in his head. At least that's my interpretation of those sections, of course that could just be the accordions, some of his runs, and later tambourines making me feel that way. 😅
Hella late and someone probably already pointed this out but the line “10 times in his back” is a direct reference to cell block tango Just a neat little fact
I love watching the technical breakdowns of these songs so much. I'm trying to get better at singing and since this is one of my favorites, I've got a much better understanding of *how* to sing it more
Just watched your Ballad of Jane Doe reaction and there is Noel's Lament(my fav honestly) Wanted to say that you're so comforting somehow and i envy your students for their funny and sweet teacher. Hope to see a reaction on some of Starkid musicals!
I fell in Love with Darren Criss and Starkid from the Very Potter musicals! I’m obsessed! I have not watched their newer stuff though! Send me a recommendation!
@@singwithAshley I love Darren too! Well, I have a phase with my The Guy Who Didn't Liked Musicals obsession now, but i dunno if you watched this one 'cause it's not so new. Black Friday is also good, as i know this one is the last they perfomed live.
@@singwithAshley Pretty much anything from Twisted is incredible, "Take Me Back" from Black Friday is vocally impressive, and if you haven't seen "Show Stopping Number" from The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, you'll be in for a treat!
Kholby is absolutely amazing! While we are all suggesting musicals, 36 questions is another kinda niche musical with some great songs in it! Song Suggestions "A Better Version, One Thing, and Answer 36"
One of my first interactions with Kholby was him commenting on me saying how I wish I trusted anything the way he trusts the wig at the 7:58 marker. He said it was theater magic🤣👏🏾
The bottom of his heels were most likely sandpaper or nail filed for extra traction. Actors in my highschool Drama club do that once shoes start losing traction on stage. Well everyone but one of the actors, he just slides around once his shoes start losing traction, it's funny to see, especially when he plays a clumsy character.
I’d like to point out that, towards the end where you mentioned wanted to see a taller vowel, in the production I saw he was able to pull it off. Maybe this was a slight fluke for this song but Kholby is so amazing and this is my favorite song out of all of them!!
Been loving your reactions!! It's so difficult to pick a favorite out of all of these songs just because they're all SO different, but so good in different ways! I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for another suggestion-- I assume you're going to get to each one eventually, but I haven't really seen anyone mention Sugar Cloud yet. It's the final "solo" song of the show and super catchy and fun, but also strangely emotional? It also showcases Lillian Castillo's beautiful voice and I would LOVE to hear what you have to say about it!
What I appreciate about this song as I do for Ballad of Jane Doe is the multitude of different musical styles. This one has Traditional Jazz on Brodway to almost the style of some of the traditional Yiddish and Hebrew Songs. These two separate realms mold together in such a wonderful and smooth way. Definitely love this musical because of every range and different genre you see in each song tapping in to each side of Broadway
Haha 😂 I did. Pros and cons. Pros- he’s a great communicator. Cons- he’s a great communicator lol it’s made himself real talkative and he’s always letting me know something 🤣👏
What I found really cool was in a few songs it has a part where there is a build up in the pitch and slides down quickly to kind of represent their deaths and how they fell to their deaths but in the song “its not a game/its just a ride” it doesn’t have that bc they’re fantasizing about what would’ve happened if they didn’t die and it leaves it at the top before they scream in joy if you’re watching the stage performance or it leaves it there if you’re just listening to the recorded song.
It sounded like you were saying "never ending carnivore", just wanted to say it's never ending carnival since RTC is where the teens died at a fair ground/carnival
you should do what the world needs next, what’s most impressive to me about that one is it’s pacing, literally no time to breathe but she does it so well! (lots of good acting too)
After you fulfill everyone's desire for space age bachelor man, you should definitely do what the world needs so you can continue on your ride the cyclone journey.
5:18 just a cute little detail in the performance, but Misha actually mouths the "I think I am in love with you" here too! It's small, but I think it grounds the scene
Some good ones are what the word needs,fall fair,uranium suite' (btw for the ver your watching the beginning song would be fall fair but the office cast record it's uranium suite)
Also there's space age Bachelor man (witch is really good) but sense a lot of people are all ready requesting it i didn't mention it in the og coment!!
Also since you asked for them, the other songs :) ua-cam.com/video/5dC0lProeuA/v-deo.html - What the world needs ua-cam.com/video/OaOEVE3vKMw/v-deo.html Sugar Cloud (it has a monologue at the beginning but It could be skipped) ua-cam.com/video/tcAXz3ms3-0/v-deo.html there's this version but no video and I think it's different people?? I like the top one better ua-cam.com/video/-hZOVExUzoU/v-deo.html Space Age Bachelor Man ua-cam.com/video/nrpOhVsZDuU/v-deo.html It's not a game (I think. This song is at the end of the musical. The video played on their screen is Jane Doe''s life :) ) ua-cam.com/video/KIvViQ59GdE/v-deo.html Fall fair suite (this song is at the beginning of the musical)
i would be interested in seeing you react to another Jane Doe posted by Pac-man tattoo. after you get through what you want to get through of course, but this performance is very different than the one you already reacted to! it has less of a choral sound and i would just find it very interesting to see what you have to say about it :]
😂 yes! Notice how he aimed for carnivORE sound instead of CarnivUHL. I did say carnivore at first however 😂 but when I really focused on the lyrics you can hear me say Carnival 😂😂❤🎉
You should listen to the mind electric. Now... it's from a musical but like less in the on a stage kind of way and more in telling a story kind of way. It's from a musical called hawaii part II made by miracle musical (or just tally hall in a really bad disguise.) The first part of the song is reversed actually! It's super fun
Fun fact. The balled of jane doe is in the style of a lament, and noels lament is in the style of a ballad.
You’re so right!! I missed that before!
Yep! They did this to express what the characters want the songs to be. Noel wished this was a song about his life, so it’s a lament, and vice-versa for Jane! 😊
WHAT
@@sophiareeset.delosreyes4636 THATS SO SMART
kholby is such a talented man, on his tiktok he talks about how he did extend the riffs longer than they were meant to be very often lmao
I love that! Hahah
That does sound like something he would do as a sort of in character thing or even just as himself
im your 2.1k like!
@TSUKASATENMAFORPRESIDENTthe ena pfp is so real
fun fact: the line "my life's one never-ending carnival" in the chorus is in reference to the fact that he died on a fairground, and he's also super nihilistic so of Course he would reference his own death

There’s a ton of big events and parties happening, as Mardi Gras is the last day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. “A whirl of boozy floozy flashing light” is definitely giving me Carnaval.
along with the backround music during that part. it sounds very carnival-esque.
@@amber3392 exactly what i was thinking!
Hearing it as carnivore killed me
Also on the ride he said "this ride is like my life". The over arching theme is life is a ride.
One thing about Noel's Lament-- I LOVE the way he pronounces words. The vowel sounds almost sound like a Boston or a New York accent and they're just SO SATISFYING and full sounding.
I feel like people don’t talk about this as much as they should, thank you!!!
In the Priest scene I love when he says oui, tell him that like, I choose to burn out rather than fade awayy. With a little french accent like, a french woman speaking english. Cuz he wanted to be a hooker in France, instead of Canada.
REALL
He reminds me of angel dust sometimes
@@icantchooseaname6903 Do you know of the animatic "Angel's lament"? That's how I found the song (and the musical), and it's great!
For anyone wondering, the thing the others are chanting at the end is as followed:
Broken hearts, a flask of Gin
Tattooed with a safety pin
Teeth all stained with nicotine
Running nylons, shattered dreams
Super crusty, holy terror
Wild eyes, and black mascara
Also can't wait till you get to the new birthday song, it's super sweet and takes place right after the ballad of jane doe
may your pillow always be cold on both sides
Shattered dreams*
@@Just_A_Deity woops! Didn't notice that. Thanks!
@@MissMarigold32 yup 😁
Wait is it spelt “Jin” or “Gin”?
"a hooker with a heart of black charcoal" ill always prefer this line in the live version, i love it so much
You can also see that the other character's roles in his song have to do wit how much he likes them. Ocean mainly stays in th e back because he hates her, while Mischa is VERY prominent in the song.
Oh that’s so relatable… 🫣
That's actually really cool i didn't notice that
Yeah the boys are seen a lot in the song (probably to make it more seen that he is VERY gay)
Nischa forever✋
@@Pokiandinischa 🔛🔝
Noel’s Lament was always the superior song honestly 😌
😂
Real

@harleenhufflepuff340every song in rtc is good imo
honestly the screaming theory makes a lot of sense. i’m pretty sure jane doe’s is true (as in a cast member confirmed that it’s supposed to be her screaming), especially considering that the way she’s flying is supposed to replicate the path of the rollercoaster. I think the others might all have it too.

@@thatsparklegurl1859 you’re so right omg I didn’t even consider that
I didn’t even think of the other songs that way BUT IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
Loving this convo
@thesparklegurl1859 Sugar Cloud doesn’t have it either because Constance was laughing, not screaming
Ashley got Noel’s attitude spot on he idolised trashed and was disappointed that he didn’t live the life he wanted by leaving his small town where he was the only gay guy he even had a mini monologue about how he wanted ‘bad love’
14:01 the absolute *shock* on here face when he goes into his falsetto range 😭
Erm, did I hear falsettos? 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓/j
"Sultry" is the only word I can use to describe Kholby's voice here, it's incredible!
13:48 I love how Noel is singing his part while the rest of the cast are all singing something else, idk how to explain it, but I feel like it makes the song sound better, like I feel the song would be dry in a way of it was just Noel singing the “giiiririririrll” part.

I realized that too, love that!! I also love that because I heard carnivore myself when I first listened to noels lament lolz!!!

Lots of people recommending rtc songs (and they're right, they're all bangers) so I'll throw in Fall Fair Suite, the opening number/one of the only ensemble numbers.

It's super cool to see them all sing together
YES fall fair suite is soooo good
All of the songs get some kind of ensemble action somewhere, save for Every Song’s Got a Lesson and Karnak’s Dream of Life, come to think of it.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone suggest What the World Needs. And honestly, I think you’d really enjoy it! The girl who plays Ocean is very talented!
But of course Space Age Bachelor Man is a great choice too! But I’d love to see what you think about What The World Needs.
You comparing his voice to Tarzan is great-I’ve harbored the pet theory that he does that growly voice bc he’s trying to imitate a chain smoking film noir lady by mimicking a smoker’s rasp during the “speaking” parts.
Also, I imagine that’s easier for the actor to keep up than trying to hold a higher “feminine” voice for a monologue.
i woke up hyperfixating in this song so this video was a very pleasant surprise!! cant wait for more :D
Noel’s Lament is my favorite song in Ride The Cyclone
REAL
You replaying his falsetto like 10 times is so relatable lol (I'm usually not analysing it though)
Yay! I haven’t watched this yet (typing this as I’m watching the intro) but I’m so glad you got to Noel’s Lament! My favorite (tied with The Ballad of Jane Doe)!!

Yes!! This is by far one of my favorite songs in the whole show
I've only ever heard the screams of the cyclone disaster referenced in Jane Doe's song and not in Noel's, but now that I know that theory exists and it could be in all the songs, I hear it most in Ocean's (What The World Needs) and Ricky's (Space Age Bachelor Man).

It's the final "solo" song of the show and super catchy and fun, but also strangely emotional? It also showcases Lillian Castillo's beautiful voice and I would LOVE to hear what you have to say about it!
i’ve been waiting for this one fr 🙏
Sorry to make you wait so long! I hope it’s worth the wait!
Istg this song makes me feel so goddamn ✨fabulous✨
14:29 he might be tbh! they did rehearse this until it was as good as the directors wanted it to be (aka literally perfect)
What I appreciate about this song as I do for Ballad of Jane Doe is the multitude of different musical styles. This one has Traditional Jazz on Brodway to almost the style of some of the traditional Yiddish and Hebrew Songs. These two separate realms mold together in such a wonderful and smooth way. Definitely love this musical because of every range and different genre you see in each song tapping in to each side of Broadway
i think you would really like the opening song which is "fall fair suite" it has some fun vocal moments
YOU TAUGHT YOUR DOG TO PRESS BUTTONS!!!!! AHHHHHBH❤❤❤
Haha 😂 I did. Pros and cons. Pros- he’s a great communicator. Cons- he’s a great communicator lol it’s made himself real talkative and he’s always letting me know something 🤣👏
thank u so much for reacting to this!!! so interesting to see how they do these performances
What I found really cool was in a few songs it has a part where there is a build up in the pitch and slides down quickly to kind of represent their deaths and how they fell to their deaths but in the song “its not a game/its just a ride” it doesn’t have that bc they’re fantasizing about what would’ve happened if they didn’t die and it leaves it at the top before they scream in joy if you’re watching the stage performance or it leaves it there if you’re just listening to the recorded song.
this makes me so happy, RTC is my biggest interest atm so these are so fun to watch LMAO
I LOVE BEING EARLY 💖💖💖 Also you may have made me want to get into choir and more music stuff :D
Do it! If you are in love with this musical, then you are probably missing your calling!
after you finish ride the cyclone you should really react to the sung through musical falsettos! its so good and underrated
YESSSSS
Love Falsettos, particularly relate to “I’m breaking down”
“Never ending carnivore” hehe
🤣 I swore he was saying that at first 🤣 may be a hidden theory there!
I love the”outside” from the dog
You can't not forgive that fur baby! Love Noel and Noels Lament...
I want his vocal range so much.
Kholby Wardell is honestly goals. I don't know what my voice will sound like yet, but I hope to keep some of my higher register as well
It sounded like you were saying "never ending carnivore", just wanted to say it's never ending carnival since RTC is where the teens died at a fair ground/carnival
Lol yes I did, and Caught myself haha
I’ve been praticting that high note for a few minutes aaawwawa it’s so hard but it’s awesome! kholby does it really well
you should do what the world needs next, what’s most impressive to me about that one is it’s pacing, literally no time to breathe but she does it so well! (lots of good acting too)
After you fulfill everyone's desire for space age bachelor man, you should definitely do what the world needs so you can continue on your ride the cyclone journey.
Psst 🤫 how did you know that?
@@singwithAshley just a gut feeling
5:18 just a cute little detail in the performance, but Misha actually mouths the "I think I am in love with you" here too! It's small, but I think it grounds the scene
@@marveludus so cute!
My favourite day of the week is when these videos come out
I would love to see your reaction to sugar cloud! It’s my favorite song and has some really fun voice moments:))
This is great ! I visited your channel a couple of days ago looking for a new one of these. I'm glad you're continuing them!
Glad you like them! More to come!
"never ending carnivore"
😂😅
i got so excited when i saw you uploaded this
"Why are they always taking off their clothes?" I wonder that too sometimes.
Very cute Luck Dragon you have! 🙂
@@gypsyfirestorm hahahha thank you I think so too!
Some good ones are what the word needs,fall fair,uranium suite' (btw for the ver your watching the beginning song would be fall fair but the office cast record it's uranium suite)
Also there's space age Bachelor man (witch is really good) but sense a lot of people are all ready requesting it i didn't mention it in the og coment!!
IM PLAYING NOEL AND IM SO SCARED LMAO
Break a leg!
HOW DID IT GO???
Or how do you think it will go
WISH YOU LUCK !!!
WHEN I SAW NOEL LAMENT ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT THE OUTFIT WAS CHIAGO 😭
😂😂
“He’s so sassy” REAL I LOVE NOELS SASS
Also since you asked for them, the other songs :)
ua-cam.com/video/5dC0lProeuA/v-deo.html - What the world needs
ua-cam.com/video/OaOEVE3vKMw/v-deo.html Sugar Cloud (it has a monologue at the beginning but It could be skipped)
ua-cam.com/video/tcAXz3ms3-0/v-deo.html there's this version but no video and I think it's different people?? I like the top one better
ua-cam.com/video/-hZOVExUzoU/v-deo.html Space Age Bachelor Man
ua-cam.com/video/nrpOhVsZDuU/v-deo.html It's not a game (I think. This song is at the end of the musical. The video played on their screen is Jane Doe''s life :) )
ua-cam.com/video/KIvViQ59GdE/v-deo.html Fall fair suite (this song is at the beginning of the musical)
loving these videos
You gotta do what the world needs lol. I wanna see your reaction
This song is my favorite lmao
13:47 I think the thumping on his chest is supposed to match with the drum beats if you can hear the drums || *i watched this like 100 times*
are you planning on doing all of the songs from ride the cyclone? id love to see it!!
I’m buckled in on the Cyclone! Hopefully I don’t end up with a screaming solo of my own at the end !
Am i the only one whos also amazazed her dog can talk 😂😂
the cow bells for the censors are taking me out😭😭😭
14:02 her face when he goes high voice
I'M SO HAPPY WOOO
WOOO! 🎉
You should totally listen to this song is awesome
Kinda wanna see you react to the entire musical lol
Trying to figure out how! But it would be so fun!
Yay! Love the reaction! 😀
Sooooo much of the songs have vocal exercises in them because they were a choir
i would be interested in seeing you react to another Jane Doe posted by Pac-man tattoo. after you get through what you want to get through of course, but this performance is very different than the one you already reacted to! it has less of a choral sound and i would just find it very interesting to see what you have to say about it :]
I would like to see that too!
Im so excited
Your dog is so cute!
Also it’s carnival not carnivore 😭
😂 yes! Notice how he aimed for carnivORE sound instead of CarnivUHL. I did say carnivore at first however 😂 but when I really focused on the lyrics you can hear me say Carnival 😂😂❤🎉
You should listen to the mind electric. Now... it's from a musical but like less in the on a stage kind of way and more in telling a story kind of way. It's from a musical called hawaii part II made by miracle musical (or just tally hall in a really bad disguise.) The first part of the song is reversed actually! It's super fun
Never apologize for Falkor
