    I love this song, even more than I love the version on the actual commentary.

    This is why I love Joss Whedon, right here in 4min, 33 seconds.
    Also, the man has a decent singing voice.
    Lounge album any time, Joss. I'd buy it.

    One Word: Awesome
    The man they call Joss makes another piece of history through so-so singing
    I Love that he does what he wants and what he enjoys............
    and one day everyone will see that he is some kind of genius.

    Homage to Dr Horrible at 2:58. I love you Joss. And Ira too. Going to the live show on May 10th!

    I remember listening to this when it first aired. I heard there was also a video. So glad I finally came across it.
    T.A.L. and Joss both rock!

    hah, a budding musical performer!
    i love his uncertain little split-second pauses when he's looking for a chord, etc. an adorable performance. i'm not being condescending, seeing this really endeared me to joss... even more than i was already. i just find it sweet when non-performers, especially writers, do something like this. it's so heartfelt.
    loved the changed lyrics, also.

    Sweet Mr Whedon, I think I get it. Thank you for creating all of those wonderful things folks love to pick, pick, pick, pick apart. You have come up with some fun stuff. Shame the Corporate execs don't seem to get it most of the time.

    This song actually appeared in its original form on the Dr. Horrible "Commentary! The Musical" commentary track, so it's pretty much all Dr. Horrible.

  • @unclejohnthezef
    @unclejohnthezef 14 років тому +1

    it's so funny because he doesn't just rip on us fans hungry for extras, etc, he obviously watches them himself and rips on himself and his colleagues ("we cut it because it did not advance the story", the most empty omnipresent commentary line)
    thanks guys!

    You know... I remember listening to him singing the Firefly theme song and thinking "Wow. I'm glad he chose someone else to sing it." But listening to this, I think I made a mistake saying that. Didn't realize Joss was such a good singer.

    @conrax85 it implies that Jed and Mo weren't there so he couldn't do the original version. So he had to come up with something else that just as cleverly conveys the ideas on the DVD.

    So true everything nowadays must have an exact analyzed meaning that is obviously presented to the reader/viewer, intelligence is no longer assumed in viewers and readers. There can no longer be multiple meanings to a piece.

I think he only took the gig to get another script greenlit. The studio's idea of trying graft lighter material onto a grimdark movie in 6 months was NEVER gonna work. They coulda hired fuckin Scorsese & it still wouldn't have helped.

      ​@@exodocian It's funny, he even added a joke to the opening credits of JL by putting his name over a shot of a homeless guy holding a sign that said "I Tried." His work (I mean the stuff that's truly his, not stuff he was just the replacement director on) still holds up & most of his casts LOVE him. This "controversy" is BS.

    The god of lies only managed to pull off a handful of tricks, after the opening it was all downhill from there. I'm sure there's one more unrevealed plot but for this movie he was annoyingly straight-forward, even in his fights.

    @Vadergeek Ok me and you have different ideas of what is and isn't awesome. You (and all the people that voted down my post) really need to find a different genre is you think superhero + singing = anything other than embarrassing failure. Only villains sing and even then they never get through the chorus because it's all a set up to get punched in the mouth by the hero, Who will be a hero just for that act alone.
