- n this exclusive music video, Lindsay Mendez sings the moving ballad "Pretty Funny" from the original cast recording of "Dogfight," now available on Ghostlight Records.
3:42 I live for that moment.
I love you
OMFGGGG PAINT!!! YOU KNOW WHAT DOGFIGHT IS GOB BLESS YOU
now that we know that you know dogfight of course you've gotta do a cover of some kinda time! I bet you would nail those harmonies!!!
JON!!
100% me too!
Her wiping a tear at the end totally broke my heart. She is incredible. She put so much emotion into the song.
That made me start crying too
She is so underrated, but such an amazing actress. I aspire to be like her one day.
shes hitting all the notes with precision HOW
The honesty in her acting is almost ghostly. Amazing.
Jesus Christ! Give her a Tony!
my thoughts exactly
Omg and she finally got one last night!!
she has one now, don't worry
Done!
the raw emotion of lindsay mendez is unreal oh my god, I appreciate every role she's ever played and every note she's ever sang
So much sadness in this song. Dogfight is so beautiful (both the film and musical. They are equally good, if you ask me.), and Lindsay puts so much emotion into this… She is just as good as Lili Taylor, and I never knew I could say that about anyone. Ever. As soon as she says "no one likes maroon," my heart breaks. That look on her face that slowly gets sadder and sadder… Such brilliant acting.
Aaron Lanier I’m in Dogfight rn and I’m obsessed I love lili too
A girl pouring her heart and soul into her art right there
You know what's not funny?
how real this song is.
How beautiful her voice is.
And...
HOW CRYSTAL CLEAR THOSE NOTES ARE.
One of the best performances,and examples of perfect tone, I have ever heard! I love her!
heartbreaking. So many of us (women) have suffered abuse by men who well....didn't know any better at the time. You capture the humiliation, the indignity, the anger, the sadness and the beauty in the end. Congrats.
10 years later and I'm still here.
Major goosebumps. Theres something about Lindsay that when she sings, I get lost in the lyrics and they suddenly mean so much to me. Lindsay Mendez is amazing and I hope to meet her one day.
Watched this 20 times in a row. How do I stop pushing the repeat button? I don't think I have any water left in my body, they're all absorbed in my pillow.
This song strongly reminds me of "See I'm Smiling" from The Last Five Years.
I feel like still hurting more
Yeah that’s funny you said that I’m singing this and see I’m smiling for voice lessons right now
I love the song 10 times more having finally seen this video.
Lyrics
Close the window draw the curtain
Hide of the bright light of the moon
Hang the dresses ugly dresses
No one like maroon
Wipe off all that stupid lipstick
Return the earrings to their case
Make-up wont make any difference
It's still the same old face
Isn't it funny?
Isn't it funny?
Isn't it funny you believed that it was real
*laughs*
Pretty funny
All disasters have an upside
You can find one if you tried
You went dancing, you were dancing, you were dancing with a guy
Isn't it funny?
Isn't it funny?
Aren't you funny?
Pathetically na've and desperate to believe
You can always find some good
Well you misunderstood
Or you've been dreaming
'Cause people are just cruel
Shut the light off turn the bed down
No more crying don't you dare
You'll wake up sometime tomorrow and forget to even care
Isn't it funny?
Isn't it funny?
For a moment he convinced me I could be pretty, funny
I come back to this often when I need to be moved! Lindsay has no trouble doing that with this wonderful performance!!! Absolute perfection, and soul wrenching!!!
I've watched this so many times over the years. It is one of the most flawless performances I've ever seen! Not to mention the feeling she expresses! Absolutely stunning!!

I can’t believe the talent that is within her!!!! I saw her on tv recently so she seems to be doing well for herself
That single tear at the end singlehandedly broke my heart
She is so wonderful! There may very well be another Tony on her shelf soon for "Merrily We Roll Along".
Bravo!!!! This musical is a hidden gem. Anyone up for a revival?
Me 😩
Ending this video with that single tear drop!? That’s the sweet spot for me
It does not matter how many times I watch this video. It GUTS me every time. There's a difference between singing a song and living it.
Truly a masterpiece. Saw her in a cabaret here in San Francisco. Wish she would return in full musical 💖
Rose is a dream role of mine and I adore Lindsey ans how she interprets her

Phew. That was intense! Lindsay is such a good person and such a wonderful actress and singer.
God she is such a good singer and actress, she got so into her part she really cried a lil. It really makes your heart go out to her all the more.
OMFG this is unreal, Lindsay Mendez, I didn't think it was possible to love you more, then I see this...STELLAR, god, how she ACTS, it rips your heart out!

Incredibly and painfully perfect.
Um. How is her voice that CLEAR? Obsessed.
This is one of the best performances I have EVER seen. Bravo, Miss Mendez.
Lindsay Mendez is faultless. This performance is literally perfect.
Also - pause at 4:36. Notice anything wrong?
What is it?
yiss. such a good ablum
+That Ozian Check again, there're only 7 words to choose from!
ablum
mmmmMmmMm such an amazing ablummmm
I felt every single moment of this performance. She is remarkable!
Wow.. I saw her in Wicked on the 10th and now I can't get enough.. I'm all about all things Lindsay Mendez right now.. She is an absolute PHENOMENAL PERFORMER.. Just SUPERB.. Beyond Superb.. WOW
Dang that made me cry.... When lindsay cries I cry!!
Im crying! Lindsay is such an amazing actress I love her!!!!
I forgot about this song and how obsessed I was years ago with it.. I just stumbled upon it and yep. Still makes me cry
This lady just amazes me. I don't think she could ever sing anything that would be a disappointment. Thanks Lindsay for being you.
I've been listening to this on repeat crying because its a true work of art
SHE IS A MASTERCLASS
It is funny indeed you can touch someone's heart with just a song! It makes me want to give Linsay the biggest hug.
when she wiped that tear in the end.....that got me
Lindsay Mendez is such an inspiring person. I look up to her so much!
Lindsay is completely flawless in everything and anything that she does!
Such a powerful song.
I've checked out a few other versions of this song, for me, no one captures the sheer emotion of those words like Lindsay Mendez.. And her vocals are unmatched.. She's simply amazing!!
Good GRIEF, I LOVE Lindsay Mendez!
And Lindsay, you are pretty! And funny! You're wonderful!
I connect with this song so much... :'( Love you Lindsey!!
I wish all the elphies sing this song in concert together!!!!!!!!!!
It's amazing how into it she got. Especially being that it was just a recording. Don't stop being amazing, Lindsay. :')
Ugh, Lindsay just sings so beautifully
I was honored to meet her a few weeks ago when I saw wicked she is such a great parson and god has truly blessed her with a gift to touch people
Chills. Stunning lady, stunning performance.
Kills me that all the reactors are sleeping on this. This should have as many reactions as “She Used To Be Mine” does. Great song, and such an emotional performance.
I just realized that she has the headphones on backwards. If you pause at 3:45, you can see that the cup she is wearing on her left ear is the right cup. It's not really relevant, it's just pretty funny.
I see what you did there...
maybe a stage left stage right thing... lol idk pretty funny
I could totally relate to this song I actually found it by accident I can't count how many times in my life I thought somebody really like me and found out it was just a joke or they were just using me definitely shed some tears tonight
I keep coming back to this again and again!! The voice, the cello, the emotion!! So exquisite!!
Absolutely love this musical.. it’s truly beautiful and the score is wonderful
Lindsay Mendez is so talented it's ridiculous! Such a beautiful song as well
Her gorgeous voice and the emotion Lindsay sings with....oh she's really amazing :')
Lindsay's performances are always so honest and real. I love her so much.
I can't like this enough times. Lindsay sings and acts this song out so amazingly I can't put into words how amazing this is to me
Just look at her eyes, they reflect the feelings of this song. Amazing!
Aww this was so good. Made me cry.
Beautiful...Makes me want to see the show! Lindsay Mendez is an amazing talent.
extraordinary connection to text, and lock into character and narrative. And then...that voice. Thanks for all your hard work training to be able to bring us this gem of a performance Lindsay. love, another performer.
This is such a heartbreaking video! Her singing and acting are haunting.
So stunning. Lindsay is such a massive talent!
DAMN those EMOTIONS.
