    I love how when they transition from color to B&W, he is immediately in a tux, and it takes her awhile to morph into the gown. I think it means that she's taking a little time to adapt to the idea of being with him. Wonderful artistic choice!

      ​@@mynameisb4020not necessarily! A lot of editing errors make it into the final product. It's possible it was intentional, for sure, but it looked to me like Santino went for her too early, Rachel knew the timing better and didn't accept his hand until the timing in the music was right so as not to ruin the shoot, and they kept it because it either worked (like the OG commenter noticed) or because the mess up didn't distract or take away from the scene. They don't always have time to fix everything. It may have been intentional, it may have been an accident. We'll never know. Either way, their performances are amazing, so 🤷🏾‍♀️

    Possible influences for this song:
    1. The melody line from 0:00 to 0:14 is strikingly similar to the refrain from "A Foggy Day" (1937) by Gershwin & Gershwin.
    2. The melody line from 0:30 to 0:42 reminds me of "Mean To Me" (1929) by Ahlert & Turk.
    3. Obviously, the dancing & clothing style is a direct tribute to Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers, as well as other performers from the Great American Songbook era.
    4. The lyrics, which humorously acknowledge the possibility of imperfect relationships, call to mind "A Fine Romance" (1936 by Kern & Fields) and "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off" (1937 by Gershwin & Gershwin) and "Until the Real Thing Comes Along" (1936 by Cahn and others) as well as the verse from "I've Got A Crush On You" (1928 by Gershwin & Gershwin) (I'm referring to the part that goes "How glad the many millions...")
    5. There are many songs from this time period about unrequited / asymmetric love. "I'm A Fool To Want You" (1951 by Sinatra & others) and "But Not For Me" (1930 by Gershwin & Gershwin) are just a few examples.
    If you are a musician who enjoys this style of music, I invite you to check out "The Standards Real Book" by Sher Music, which is a great collection of sheet music from this time period - and it's the book of sheet music I use most frequently when performing.
    "American Popular Song" by Alec Wilder and "The Gershwins And Me" by Michael Feinstein are great nonfiction books about this style of music.
    The film "Swing Time" (1936) is my favorite Astaire & Rogers film, featuring a stellar soundtrack by Kern & Fields. See it!
    I have too many album recommendations to list them here... But if you only listen to ONE, I recommend "Ella Sings Gershwin" (1950), which features - you guessed it - Ella Fitzgerald singing the music of the Gershwins, in intimate piano + vocal style.

    • @alexanderthegreat1270
      @alexanderthegreat1270 Рік тому +1

      Interesting thing I picked up, obviously this song is a tribute to Astaire and Rogers, but Rogers was actually a far more skilled dancer than Astaire.
      She had to perform the entire routine, backwards in heels, while he may have been ‘leading’ the dance, she was leading the show. That makes perfect sense when you consider that in this song it’s Rachel who has to pick whether she wants to pursue Josh or Greg

    • @silvertamagachi
      @silvertamagachi 8 років тому +37

      +Mohd Taufik Mohammad Honestly, I actually think Josh and Rebecca make more sense. Greg is obviously too well-balanced for her, and his self-loathing will only be increased by her inability to hold a normal relationship. Josh, on the other hand, is laid-back enough to deal with her neuroses and mood swings, and somehow continues to see the best in her. (Besides, he deserves better than Valencia.) I think Greg should have a much less . . . messed up girlfriend.
      TL;DR I love all the characters in this show, but Greg deserves better than Rebecca and Josh is an oddly good fit for her.

    • @CinnamonCari
      @CinnamonCari 8 років тому +72

      +silvertamagachi Josh is a bit of a douche with no future, I mean he's (almost)two-timing his girlfriend because he can't bring himself to communicate his feelings honestly, he has no intelectual or work-related ambitions, he's very dependant on other people, and on the plus side he's cute... hot, cool, laid-back and well intentioned. He has all the virtues of a good friend but lacks some that are very important to be a good partner. I don't think he and Rebecca should be together and it shines through in "Josh and I are good people" along with the fact that he does NOT WANT to be with her.
      Greg deserves better? YES, is Rebecca becoming a better person? YES. But (and I already said this to someone in other video)she shouldn't be anyone's crazy girlfriend for now, she should become her own *sane* person.

    • @mohdtaufikmohammad4055
      @mohdtaufikmohammad4055 8 років тому +19

      +CinnamonCari I agree with you. And I agree that ultimately, this show should go towards Rebecca being sane. But unfortunately, it's the central theme of this show, that Rebecca being someone's crazy ex-girlfriend due to her mental difficulties and childhood troublesome development. I think this show is doing an important work in portraying how people with mental illnesses are struggling to cope with the world and how they are stuck between wanting to be happy and having to deal with their difficulties. So, Rebecca should improve but in a realistic pace. And since social support is one way of improving from mental illness, I think it's important that Rebecca gets it from someone like Greg since her mother is a bitchy no-gooder. She shouldn't get it from Paula though since Paula is enabling Rebecca's condition.So, based on that argument, I think she should be with Greg.

    • @CinnamonCari
      @CinnamonCari 8 років тому +21

      Mohd Taufik Mohammad Yes!!! I also think Paula is enabling her (she said herself that it's because she's using her as a daughter substitute) and that their friendship is going to go through an awful rough patch soon because of that, but I adore the character: she's a loyal, caring and sincerely wants to help Rebecca. She's doing it wrong, though.
      I'm too invested in this show. I'll stop now.

    Then I met a new man. He knew I wanted the first guy, but he kept after me and loved me no matter what.
    He and I have been married for three years now. I've never felt such a love and comfort than when I'm with him.
    He sent me a link to this video as a joke at one point as he pursued me, but it's become so special for us!

  • @da_dani6211
    @da_dani6211 2 роки тому +29

    the reason why i love this song is because we've all been Greg willing to be "plan b" and begging someone to settle for us. here, Greg seems like the reasonable option and even if he didn't have his drinking and anger problems, he'd still not be Josh, which for Rebecca is THE deal-breaker. and when in "It Was a Shit Show" he sings "to say it's fate, you'd have to be a bit slow" you can see he actually grew and realized while he needed to be better, he also deserved better. then when Nathaniel sings "Settle For Her" you can see there's nothing wrong with Mona, she's great, she's just not Rebecca. it shows how sometimes we can be great and still not be the one, and that's ok.
    i love this show, it's criminally underrated.

      Yeah, to be fair: the only reason I "got in on the ground floor," so to speak, is because I was already a fan of Rachel Bloom from her UA-cam stuff so I was already excited about the show from the start. The commercials definitely don't do the show any favors. I'm not sure how I would go about advertising a show like this, but then again that's not my job. I guess the music videos on UA-cam are what really convinced me to seek the show out, though. When I found out I could watch it on the CW website I was ecstatic. I try to do as much evangelizing as I can but I just can't seem to get anyone else as excited about this show as I am. I might just have to sit down with my friends after the home release comes out and make them watch it. I'm inclined to disagree with you about Glee though-- bad as it was, it did have a substantial fanbase, and musical shows still have their place, I think. Empire's popular, right?

    So, even though
    I’m not the one you adore
    Why not...

    Settle for me
    Darling, just settle for me
    I think you’ll have to agree
    We make quite a pair
    I know I’m only second place in this game
    But like two-percent milk or seitan beef
    I almost taste the same
    So won’t you settle for me
    Come on and settle for me
    Say yes or no before I choke on all this swallowed pride
    I have no problem being picked out from the bottom
    If he’s your broken condom, I’m Plan B!
    So lower those expectations and settle for me
    Am I OK with this?

    [Interjection: Rebecca Bunch, played by Rachel Bloom]
    Oh sweet, a gown
    [Verse 2: Greg]
    Settle for me, babycakes
    Just settle for me, schmoopy-pie
    I’m begging you please
    Can’t you see the light?
    Sugar jugs, I’m so bereft
    Demeaning terms are all that I have left
    Of my masculinity
    So settle for me
    [Interjection: Rebecca]
    So twirly!
    [Bridge: Greg]
    Little girl
    Don’t make me feel like a little girl
    Exposed and raw
    Whose boobs can’t even fill a training bra

    Settle for me

    It’s a practical proposal
    [Greg]
    Settle for me
    [Rebecca]
    It makes a certain sense

    But hey let’s think this through
    Yes, Josh is a dream, but I’m right here
    In flesh and blood and self-hate
