This song is hilarious and the vocals are mind-blowing but holy shit that last line "Maybe this dream will finally make me feel like I deserve a dream..." is heartbreaking as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
I was thinking this, but then...it made me wonder why the one black lawyer there tweedled after the ebola line....so.....I'm gonna tell myself those tweedlers were chosen all by mere coincidence lmao
I have so much respect for how they played Paula's storyline this season, especially when it came to her having an abortion for the sake of her legal career. It's a very real situation that can often make the pregnant mother look bad.
I am a mother who has already had one child. I became pregnant seven months after I had her. I was making plans to return to school. Plus, we were living in poverty with little to no security. It was a very real decision we had to make and I don’t regret it. My daughter deserves her mother and I deserve to have an education.
Yes it’s such amazing representation to show a married woman who already has kids getting an abortion because we rlly only see single women getting them on tv if at all.
@@georgearaujo-haller8835 yes, typically Hollywood has middle-aged women get unexpectedly pregnant and then keep the baby when you know most would just get an abortion. Not because it's flippant but because it's practical and by 40 most women are more practical.
I always thought this was a broad parody of a Disney number, so I can't believe I just realised that this is a direct parody of "I Wonder" from Sleeping Beauty. It is all there in the staging, the outfit, the hair, the "animals", the theme of the song and the operetta singing voice.
Her singing voice here sounds so much like Aurora. Isn't just that she sounds like A Disney princess, cause every period had a different style... She's amazing!
this song is legit sad. i sang along for fun, but then they came to the last part, "Maybe this dream will finally make me feel like I deserve a dream" and the depression just hit me like a tidal wave :'(
Just fucking genius, the performance of this. It makes me laugh out loud and actually tear up at the end with her earnest hope. It's just lovely. And the extra couple of beats waiting for that final sigh...... BRILL.
- sabelmousse - Thank you! Neither character is seen or heard in this song so I'm not sure why there's been so many Grebecca comments here. Let Paula have her moment :P
I could totally see Rachel Bloom writing a Disney movie starring the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend staff, and it would probably be the best Disney movie in decades tbh
I'm a straight woman, but Donna's one of those beautiful people that makes me say things like "I'm a straight woman, but . . ." (Rachel Bloom is, too.)
Hey, I'm sorry, but can you please explain to me the meaning of this? I'm not a native speaker and I genuinely can't understand what exactly was wrong with the wedding
@@mariahartie4645 The song that should have been played is called Here Comes the Bride: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridal_Chorus. There Goes The Bride is a totally different song, as far as I understand.
Arthur Irrwitzer The typical song that plays when someone walks down the aisle at their wedding is “Here Comes the Bride.” Saying “the organ played ‘there goes the bride’” is a play on words to mean that she ran away from her wedding.
I'm really glad that out of all princess that this song could have referenced, they chose my favorite! (If you're unsure, that dress + basket def scream Aurora)
@@jellybean1528 I'm sure it's just meant to be a parody of the Disney princess trope in general but I mean... you can google Sleeping Beauty Aurora and find her wearing the exact same dress holding the exact same basket.
This has become one of my very favorite songs from the whole show (almost finished with Season 2). The build-up to "....my undies smell like a sewer rat. Maybe this dream won't be - like THAAAAAAT!" - oh, it's just thrilling. I must have repeated this song 6 times when I first saw this episode. (My other favorite song so far - the fake Sondheim "(Tell Me I'm OK) Patrick" from S2E12. Brilliant! :-D )
Oh my god this is me. I've felt so empty for so long, life shat on me and my hopes for so long that I came to think I didn't deserve to dream. Now I just hope I can afford to dream again without it all exploding in my face...
This song goes from laugh-out-loud funny with the "Maybe this dream won't be like when I go running" verse, as it just goes farther and farther, then to jaw-dropped admiration at Donna Lynne's vocal chops as she sings "Maybe this dream won't be like that," and then to legit tears-in-your-eyes heartbreak at "Maybe this dream will finally make me feel like I deserve a dream." All within about 30 seconds. This show is just... It's so freaking great in every way...
Maybe this dream won’t be when Netflix changed Crazy Ex Girlfriend’s rating from TV-14 to TV-MA and you think that maybe they could use the more explicit songs like how South Park and Family Guy showed the more explicit scenes on their streaming devices vs. the ones on cable (But Netflix was all like nope 😏👎 )
Just had to share this from IMDb - "In addition to being an actress, Donna Lynne also works as a director, writer, stand-up comedienne, pianist, composer, musical director and choreographer." ...and when she does act, it's often on stage, which I'm sure she loves. So, we might not see her much on a screen, but she's definitely living her best life.
Maybe this dream wont be like when i go running, and I have to take a dump so I have to rush home, plus i also have my period so I have menstrual cramps plus dump cramps, and as I run frantically i pee just a little cause ive had two babies, so by the time i get home my undies smell like a sewer rat, maybe this dream wont be like that.
This is my favorite show on TV. Crazy Ex Girlfriend is so unique, witty, well written, has an amazing cast, and is just all around wonderful!! I absolutely love it! 😁
Yes, yes. She has an amazing voice and the lyrics are hilarious and heartbreaking, etc. But will no one dare comment on how pretty Donna looks with this princess look?! 😻
Great vocals yet again. But... Paula got really boring this season. So did Rebecca. Everyone seemed to become all nice, sweet and lovey-dovey with each other. I did enjoy the friendship between Valencia and Rebecca though, that was entertaining.
"Maybe this dream will finally make me feel like I deserve a dream". I felt that. Paula wasn't allowed to dream about anything because the different circumstances and her horrible father made everything so difficult for her. I'm happy that Paula is happy now.
Give this woman all the awards. She's a treasure.
i second this
AMEN !
One of the best voice of the show
🎯🎯🎯
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Paula is my favorite Disney princess 👸
This song is hilarious and the vocals are mind-blowing but holy shit that last line "Maybe this dream will finally make me feel like I deserve a dream..." is heartbreaking as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Ritchie right?? Donna has it all.
Yes!
That really made me cry when I first heard it :(
The fact that Tim sings "tweedle-deedle-dee" after she mentioned her vibrator is way funnier since last week's episode :D
Somehow it seems more appropriate if Scott sang that song instead. But Tim is a treasure.
I was thinking this, but then...it made me wonder why the one black lawyer there tweedled after the ebola line....so.....I'm gonna tell myself those tweedlers were chosen all by mere coincidence lmao
@@peoplearepeople4998 they were chosen because their her coworkers at the firm, therefore would be around? Plus they're minor characters
@@peoplearepeople4998 yep that's f**ked
@@peoplearepeople4998 his name is Jim
"The world was like tehehe, nope" I'm dead 😂
This song is actually so sad, but it's sung with a Disney Princess voice, so it makes me feel confused about how I am suppose to feel
Tara Sellers she sounds just like a voice actress of Princess Aurora in “Once Upon A Dream” song.
Oh wait, she’s even dressed like her 😂

I just realized Paula does her little hop on "PEE just a little" because she's jumping over the deer carcass.
Lol, thank you! I wouldn't realize without you but now I pay attention to it every time 😂

Oh my gosh, yes! Thank you! This is what I came here for- I was trying to place it! 🤗
Donna's voice is so amazing.
Also, I'm forever changed after the cramp part.
I love that the computer's desktop background was also changed to a forest.
cklieb2 consistency!
I didn't notiece that. Thank you!
I don't think I've ever seen a show make heart-breaking hopefulness so funny.
this song is legit sad. i sang along for fun, but then they came to the last part, "Maybe this dream will finally make me feel like I deserve a dream" and the depression just hit me like a tidal wave :'(
The "I pee just a little" part cracks me up very time. XD
Donna's vocal range is incredible!
I can't. DECEASED. "Menstrual cramps plus dump cramps." I LOVE this show. 😭😵😍
Just fucking genius, the performance of this. It makes me laugh out loud and actually tear up at the end with her earnest hope. It's just lovely. And the extra couple of beats waiting for that final sigh...... BRILL.
Maybe this dream won't be like some maggots feasting on the rotting deer carcass of my priiiiiiiiiiide!
this is NOT about greg, or rebecca.
- sabelmousse - Thank you! Neither character is seen or heard in this song so I'm not sure why there's been so many Grebecca comments here. Let Paula have her moment :P
The cramp part at the end... It's my new favorite thing...
THE BEST.
it took me so off guard lol
1:19 ankle acting, people! ANKLE ACTING!!!
Disney needs to take note.
I could totally see Rachel Bloom writing a Disney movie starring the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend staff, and it would probably be the best Disney movie in decades tbh
Thomas Jefferson But also George Washington? Totally!!
Greg is the voice of Prince Hans in Frozen fyi
Didn't know! That's awesome!
paula is still one of my all time favorite's. her voice and versatility are two of the many reasons why.
I never would've thought such a beautiful alto could sound EXACTLY like Snow White, but . . . damn, Paula. Werk.
Donna is not an alto
silvertamagachi She was never an alto
they wrote this for her bc she was trained as a coloratura
Sleeping beauty actually lol
Soprano but yea she killed it
1:28 excellent foreshadowing here.
Damn you're so right
Donna is so pretty
I'm a straight woman, but Donna's one of those beautiful people that makes me say things like "I'm a straight woman, but . . ." (Rachel Bloom is, too.)
I love this song. Paula's voice Is MAGICAL.
I saw this so many times but I always laugh when She giggles and says NOPE
The way she says “I pee” is so funny and adorable lol
It's the giggle while she says "Just a little! 😉" for me
My favorite part here 😂
She is so cute, especially with that giggle 😂
You almost forget the horrible things she is saying about herself because you get mesmerized by her how amazing her voice is.
"The organ played "there goes the bride!!" ... I came back." WELL

@@BrightAwake THANKS! I don’t know either of the songs and I’m not in America (or any English speaking country), so I was sups confused
It just clicked that this is a parody of "Once Upon a Dream" from "Sleeping Beauty." Her costume even looks like Aurora's. 🤦
This song is so accurate to what I feel when I have cramps that for the first time I felt truly understood.
I LOVE how they used Aurora's Briar Rose dress and the basket!! love it! She is amazing!
Everyone needs to take a look at her hand during the vibrator line...just saying.
Luke Evans I just noticed that!! Brilliant!
I'm really glad that out of all princess that this song could have referenced, they chose my favorite! (If you're unsure, that dress + basket def scream Aurora)
Makes sense, since her main song was Once Upon a Dream.
I thought it was from snow white i mean those vibratos
@@jellybean1528 I'm sure it's just meant to be a parody of the Disney princess trope in general but I mean... you can google Sleeping Beauty Aurora and find her wearing the exact same dress holding the exact same basket.
" I pee *cute giggle* just a little!"
It's my favorite part of the song lmao
*is scrolling through the comments looking for a single other person who thinks that* XD
My favorite part too, I was looking for this comment
menstrual cramp plus dump cramp. best lyric ever
I keep coming back to watch this incredible performance at least once a week. She's just marvelous
This might be my favourite song so far....
"maybe this dream will finally make me feel like i deserve a dream" why am i crying though

Countdown to changing that sign to "Proctor, Whitefeather & Associates" starts... Now! Go Paula :)
"Nope" xD
PLUS I ALSO HAVE MY PERIOD SO I HAVE MENSTRUAL CRAMPS PLUS DUMP CRAMPS
I remember watching her sing this live and wondering how it was POSSIBLE for one woman to have SO much talent
She is the most realistic Disney princess ever.
Very Operetta/Disney-esque but the melody and lyrics remind me a bit of Maybe/Next to Normal from... well Next to Normal.
I was thinking that too, it reminds me a lot of Maybe from Next to Normal
omg yaaaas

Always coming back to this one. It makes you laugh and then breaks your heart in the most sincere way.
I know the feeling. It would be nice to have hope. Or something besides a nightmare once in a while.
Tim and jim dancing around in bird costumes kills me every time!😂
I hope Donna gets another role this good when the show ends. I miss her already.
Just had to share this from IMDb - "In addition to being an actress, Donna Lynne also works as a director, writer, stand-up comedienne, pianist, composer, musical director and choreographer." ...and when she does act, it's often on stage, which I'm sure she loves.

@@joelpartee594 I'm glad. She's insanely talented.
How this song/performance didn't get an Emmy nomination is beyond me...
She looked so beautiful in this and her voice is also beautiful
A beautiful princess indeed 🥺🥺💜💜
1:18 the ankle shimmy!!!
This has turned into my favorite song of the season so far.
Yes hilarious song but can we talk about her amazing fluffing vocals
Maybe this dream wont be like when i go running, and I have to take a dump so I have to rush home, plus i also have my period so I have menstrual cramps plus dump cramps, and as I run frantically i pee just a little cause ive had two babies, so by the time i get home my undies smell like a sewer rat, maybe this dream wont be like that.
Jim and Tim 😂
Man, isn't she an incredible singer? That was amazing
i'm such a fan of paula.
This is my favorite show on TV. Crazy Ex Girlfriend is so unique, witty, well written, has an amazing cast, and is just all around wonderful!! I absolutely love it! 😁
Donna Lynne Champlin derserves an award for this beautiful performance !! love her !!
she is like singing an operatic soprano😀
I'm still blown away by this set design
Did anyone else here see the CXG live concert and knew their life was complete?
I was SO blown away by her voice. She is SO DAMN talented.
_"Maybe this dream will finally make me feel like I deserve a dream"_
Paula looks so pretty in that dress!!!
i took an edible jn..; this is way trippyer than videos that are meant for its purpose.. Love Queeen Donna
HOW CAN THIS SONG MAKE ME LAUGH AND CRY AT THE SAME FKN' TIME??
Period cramps and dump cramps, relatable
"I pEe~~just a little" part always gets me🤣
Menstrual cramps plus dump cramps are not good. lol
Tweedle deedle deeeee
I can so relate to this song and Paula's storyline
I prefer to think Paula is this show’s main character
I'm here to say this song still slaps ultra hard. What a beautiful soprano.
Every single piece of greenery in the office is real! It’s so pretty
What a colossal talent.
Yes, yes. She has an amazing voice and the lyrics are hilarious and heartbreaking, etc. But will no one dare comment on how pretty Donna looks with this princess look?! 😻
She’s so gorgeous
Peeing just a little is fine Paula don't worry about it
That last line is always heartbreaking T.T
This is so perfect! I watch it at least once everyday!!! Love it!!!
0:24 hahaha
I love her so much. The actress is just so compelling and her voice is like magic.
That makeup is my life!!! ugh! I LOVE THOSE LASHES ON YOU GIRL!!! AND ROSIE CHEEKS and a soft pink lip...Blam! #makeup
Donna is amazing, rachel is amazing, but daaamn, I really love that set design.
Great vocals yet again. But... Paula got really boring this season. So did Rebecca. Everyone seemed to become all nice, sweet and lovey-dovey with each other. I did enjoy the friendship between Valencia and Rebecca though, that was entertaining.
Johann Please And then it all turned to shit, which is what we were all waiting for.
Reminds me of Maybe from Next to Normal
Donna Lynne Champlin is so talented and I am so happy that this song got to show off what she can do
"Maybe this dream will finally make me feel like I deserve a dream". I felt that. Paula wasn't allowed to dream about anything because the different circumstances and her horrible father made everything so difficult for her. I'm happy that Paula is happy now.
Major sleeping beauty vibes and I love it
I love this songg!! Paula is my favorite character after Heather 🤣
Goddamn it, Donna. SO GOOD.
omg LOL
Love her and love this show :D
one of the most hilarious moments on Crazy Ex !
