I love how they felt the need to beat us over the head with #girlpower instead of just, I dunno, maybe give the girls some better motivations and ambitions in the show?XD Thank you for postning this video!! Its worth its metaphorical weight in gold to me.
I know what you mean, I think when they implemented I Got Me (Ich Bin Ich) in Bochum the lyrics are changed a bit. I wish they just rewrote "Lotta Locomotion" but tbh I prefer this song in German.
Exactly! As a woman I HATE being told I'm only worth something if I'm a Sassy Bitch. 🙄 I think the "go make the tea" thing could've worked with the old Dinah... Have her protest a little, waver when everyone repeats it, and have her sing a few lines to herself in an attempt to boost her confidence, then the others sing a "that's all you need" take on it after UNCOUPLED and *then* she finds her strength in ditching Electra. Boom! Interesting character with an important story to tell! You're welcome, Lloyd Webber. If I could think up that in less than a minute they should've been able to make something at least half as interesting with all the time they had.
LadyDragonbane In I Got Me (Reprise) aka Dinah’s Disco she does redeem herself. I will upload it at some point. Tbh I’d rather have Rusty and Dinah do the final race instead of Dustin as it shows that they are both strong when others don’t think they are.
@@iamelectric8525 Where is the story arc leading up to it though? It's certainly missing from the current Bochum show... And I love the idea of her and Rusty racing together
I love Starlight Express no matter what and have seen it many times and when I saw the new version for the first time, I really liked this song but could not get over how bad the verses sounded. Not only because they're quite fast, so it's hard to understand multiple singers at once and because of their accents and the bad audio quality (sorry StEx Bochum, it's the truth), but also because the rhythm just sounded wrong with German sentence structure... But I get it now, I get what they were going for, because in English it sounds great. Makes me wish they would perform the whole show in English once more. Bochum's fantastic staging and backdrop with the original lyrics....aaaaah it's so much work for one night only...probably not going to happen for a looooong time if at all. Anyways, thank you so much for uploading ♥♥♥
@@iamelectric8525 I'm holding out for the end of lockdown as well. I had tickets to see the show in April but we all know how that went :D So December it is. Hopefully. Yeeeeeeeeeees, One Night Only was one of the coolest musical experiences in my life. The atmosphere was something else...
I feel like in the context of the show this song is very performative fake feminism, considering the girls' character arcs (If they can even be called that) are still dependent on the male characters. On its own though? Has the potential to be an awesome punk lesbian anthem
Okay, after watching it a few times. I really like both the English and the German version of the song. Though I prefer the instrumentals of the English Version here as it slaps more than the German version.
@@iamelectric8525 I kinda agree with the opinion that it is a bit too early in the show. Maybe a Lotta Locomotion rewrite would have been better and then I Got Me later on.
@@iamelectric8525 What would have been cool in a Lotta Locomotion rewrite is that Dinah, Belle and Carrie suddenly start singing and introducing themselves while Pearl, the new girl, is a bit shy and nervous at first but then starts singing too. And then later on, after the first race for example, the girls say that they are needed for the race and could win by themselves but the Trains deny them and then they sing I Got Me to show their partial independence from the Trains. Kinda like that!
Belle, the Sleeping Car is from the 80s. Then was Duvay, the Sleeping Car. Is it right? Or is Belle back? I have never heard the name Tassita. I got me is really nice, thank you!
MIX - IT! • StEx They repurposed the name of Belle as a replacement for Duvay so it’s not the same character. In the workshop she is Dinah’s friend and not poppas coach. Tassita was new for the workshop as well but would become Carrie.
Thanks for posting! IMO this is the worst song they've added to the show but it's interesting to hear clips from the workshop. Do you by any chance have any more?
@@starlightimovie IMO means "in my opinion". Personally I think it is much better than A Whole Lotta Locomotion. I wish they would have brought back Lotta Locomotion but try and update with some girl power.
Lyrics: I got me and that's all I need Don't say no, it's my show I'm made of sugar and spice, but I don't always play nice You wanna tell me the rules? Already broken them twice I got these pretty eyes and they are on the prize Cos first place calls! I can think just as quickly, I can run just as long And I'm made of different metal, but I'm just as strong I got a pretty face, but it's an ugly race And I'm ready to roll I got me and that's all I need Don't say 'no', it's my show I got me and that's all I need I'm number one, the champion Gone are the days when we were second best Cos we don't settle for the back seat, we'll undo the rest Yeah we're right on track, ready to attack Breaking down these walls We're a force of nature and we're right on time Yeah we're gonna mix the game up while we're in our prime The lights may be red, danger up ahead And we're ready to roll! I got me and that's all I need! Watch me go, I'll take him on I got me, and that's all I need I see it now, my winner's bow You think that I'm incapable Of all the things you can do, but no And you think you're unstoppable But without me, that's not true Cos honey, I'm unstoppable and I won't race behind you! I got me, and that's all I need Don't say 'no', it's my show I got me, and that's all I need I'm number one, a champion I got me, and that's all I need Watch me go, I'll take it all Yeah I got me, and that's all I need I see it now, my winner's bow
I got me??? Bro they changed that so much.
Am I the only one who laughed when greaseball sayed "Who-ho-ho"?

If you look at it as more of a coaches empowerment song (after all, there are female trucks and engines) it works a lot better imo
Definitely reminds me of Six

I’m going to try and see it in Bochum after lockdown and yeah if they did the new show as a one night only that would be great.

I know, they did one English speaking show in Bochum.
where did you got this upload some more audio of the workshop pls.

On its own though? Has the potential to be an awesome punk lesbian anthem
Yeah I wish they would have gotten these 4 better character arcs xD
The other female characters are definetly more fitting to this song

It's such a mixed bag with people hahaha. I don't mind it as a song tbh.

@@phantomias7230 Yeah I defiantly think I Got Me would be a better Act 2 song. Yeah Lotta Locomotion rewrite should of happened.
Wait so is this in place of Whole lotta locomotion? Because the og locomotion is still the best
Unfortunately yes. I would love an up to date Lotta Locomotion. Whole Lotta Locomotion - no. It feels to me out of place.
@@iamelectric8525 ya lotta locomotion is the best. It’s so much fun and it slaps

@@iamelectric8525 Thank you. Why it isn't in English so, how in German?
In Germany we have (from left to right) Carrie, Dinah, Pearl and Belle.
Carrie is a luggage car and Belle is a bar wagon
Do you have race one + two lyrics?
Thanks for posting! IMO this is the worst song they've added to the show but it's interesting to hear clips from the workshop. Do you by any chance have any more?
I think in German is the song better. What is IMO?
LadyDragonbane I do but the workshop is mostly similar to 2018 Bochum revisions.
@@starlightimovie IMO means "in my opinion". Personally I think it is much better than A Whole Lotta Locomotion. I wish they would have brought back Lotta Locomotion but try and update with some girl power.
can you please write me the lyrics
Lyrics:
I got me and that's all I need
Don't say no, it's my show
I'm made of sugar and spice, but I don't always play nice
You wanna tell me the rules? Already broken them twice
I got these pretty eyes and they are on the prize
Cos first place calls!
I can think just as quickly, I can run just as long
And I'm made of different metal, but I'm just as strong
I got a pretty face, but it's an ugly race
And I'm ready to roll
I got me and that's all I need
Don't say 'no', it's my show
I got me and that's all I need
I'm number one, the champion
Gone are the days when we were second best
Cos we don't settle for the back seat, we'll undo the rest
Yeah we're right on track, ready to attack
Breaking down these walls
We're a force of nature and we're right on time
Yeah we're gonna mix the game up while we're in our prime
The lights may be red, danger up ahead
And we're ready to roll!
I got me and that's all I need!
Watch me go, I'll take him on
I got me, and that's all I need
I see it now, my winner's bow
You think that I'm incapable
Of all the things you can do, but no
And you think you're unstoppable
But without me, that's not true
Cos honey, I'm unstoppable and I won't race behind you!
I got me, and that's all I need
Don't say 'no', it's my show
I got me, and that's all I need
I'm number one, a champion
I got me, and that's all I need
Watch me go, I'll take it all
Yeah I got me, and that's all I need
I see it now, my winner's bow
So frustrating that this is a really, really good updated replacement for Rolling Stock: reprise. FFS it's even a development of the same melody.
Hi!
Are you allowed to upload this audio?
I will used it for some videos...I must know it for it.
Please answer honest. Thank you.
MIX - IT! • StEx it’s a bootleg, taken by someone who was at this performance
@@iamelectric8525 Do you think we can use the audio? Or will it be deleted from you soon?
MIX - IT! • StEx not deleting it anytime soon so go ahead 👍
