Harry Potter Musical, Ideas for Lyrincs and Why!

Getting Fitted for New Dress Robes Posts: 50 Joined: 8:48am January 28, 2005 Location: US	Right, so I've been listening to "Harry Potter the Musical," the production put on at University of Michigan earlier this year whose YouTube channel was recently advertised on Leaky. I find the songs catchy and clever, and I'd like to be able to sing along. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to figure out the lyrics from the videos. As I suspect that others here are in the same situation, I was wondering if folks would like to help me figure out the lyrics and record them here. The songs were written by Darren Criss (who plays Harry Potter) and A.J. Holmes (who plays the piano). If these people happen to be here (hello!), or if someone knows how to reach them (MySpace/Facebook/Twitter? I am totally clueless with social networking sites), and if they would be willing to provide the lyrics (perhaps they've already done so somewhere?), then of course that would be best and easiest. If anyone has any information about how to obtain the official lyrics, please post here and let us know! In the meantime, though -- let's see what we can figure out by listening to the videos. Just to narrow things down, I'm thinking of only tackling the songs, not the spoken dialogue (although short stretches of dialogue in the middle of a song might be a grey area). If you're not sure what the actors in the videos are singing, take your best guess, then put those words in square brackets and put a question mark after them, like so: [Slow walkin' Walter, the fire engine guy.](?) Then others can take guesses as well, and maybe together we can figure it out. (Of course, you can suggest alternatives for any lyrics, not just the ones that the transcriber marks as uncertain.) Dear Mods: This is the first thread I've ever started on the LL, so I'm a bit unsure about how things work. If you think it should be moved elsewhere, or combined with another thread -- or just deleted because it isn't an appropriate use of the boards -- please go ahead. I defer to your Modly Wisdom. ... And alakazam! Here we go, this is totally awesome... *** This is starting in the middle, but I like the song so I'm doing it first. Link: Act 1, Part 11 (1:52-5:34). (A clearer but slightly different version of Ron's verse -- sung by Darren Criss? -- is at Act 2 Part 9 (8:43-9:58).) "Danger Granger" Written by Darren Criss RON: Here I am, face to face With a situation I never thought I'd ever see. Strange -- how a dress Could take a mess, And make her nothing less than Beautiful to me. It seems like my eyes have been Transfigured. Something deep inside has changed. They've been opened wide, but hold that trigger. This could mean Daaaangeeeeeerrrrrr... I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love... I think I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love With Hermione Granger. DRACO: What? What the h* is this? Do you expect me to sing about her? I don't care about her. It's just a little makeup. Draco, wake up! I'm mistaken. She is the hottest girl I've ever seen! Now because she's like a girl I've never seen. Don't know why I'd ever be so mean. This could mean Daaaangeeeeeerrrrrr... I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love... I could be falling in love, falling in love, falling in love With Hermione Granger. BOTH: [I wanna let her know.](?) DRACO: I feel so queasy. BOTH: But I can't let it show. RON: She'd laugh, poor Weasley! Come on, Ron. DRACO: Come on! Draco, BOTH: You've gotta let it go. You've gotta let it go. RON: ........................... DRACO: Here I am, face to face ........ What? What the h*** is this? With a situation ............... [](?) I never thought I'd ever see.

RON: I think I'm / DRACO: I could be Falling in love, falling in love, falling in love With Hermione Granger, With Hermione Granger, With Hermione Granger. Daaaangeeeeeerrrrrr! One would think that "Do you expect me to sing about her? / I don't care about her" would go here, but Draco seems to have been rendered speechless by his... er, circumstances. *** The opening number! There are quite a few lyrics which I'm unsure of or can't make out. I'm also skipping most of the spoken dialogue, but feel free to transcribe if you like. ETA: Thanks to acciosirius and Swish_and_Flick for helping fill in some of the blanks!

Getting Fitted for New Dress Robes Posts: 53 Joined: 2:37pm May 1, 2009 Location: Reading HP in lieu of doing homework	Good work Bandersnatch! I fixed the couple parts you were unsure of: HERMIONE: I may be frumpy But I'm super smart Check out my grades: They're A's for a start. What I lack in looks, Well I make up in heart And, well guys, yeah that's totally awesome. This year I plan To study a lot. RON: That would be cool If you were actually hot. HARRY: Hey Ron, [lay off](?) It's okay that she's not RON: And that's cool. HERMIONE: And that's totally awesome ... skipping ahead TRIO: We gotta get back to Hogwarts. We gotta get back to school. We gotta get back to Hogwarts Where everything is [magical or magic, cool](?) (For all intents and purposes they sound exactly the same so this is probably one that we'd need a cast member to solve) ... skipping down to Dumbledore's part he says: Welcome hotties, nerds and tools Also, it wasn't in the brackets but I'm pretty sure that Dumbledore says "I'm sorry, what'd you say?" not "I'm sorry, what's in a name?"

Flesh-Eating-Slug Catcher Posts: 175 Joined: 7:39pm March 4, 2008 Location: Grimmauld Place, Number 12	I don't know about you guys but I love the original Potter Puppet Pals. The mysterious ticking noise was so much fun. But I'm kinda getting mad at the direction it's going. It's less funny and more stupid. The animated series are really where it's going wrong. I say Bring the live puppets back! -------------------- I love Moony and Padfoot! Mauraders Forever!

Getting Fitted for New Dress Robes Posts: 50 Joined: 8:48am January 28, 2005 Location: US	Thanks, acciosirius! I think you're spot-on with all of your additions; good ears during Hermione's bit! I suspect that the Trio is singing, "Where everything is magical" but distorting the last syllable so that it comes out "cool"; hence "magic-coool," like you said. And I'll go with "what'd you say" over "what's its name" for Dumbledore's bit. I will edit my original post to include your additions. Thanks for the help! ****** spock*, I have trouble hearing stuff in "To Dance Again," too, but I think I've made some headway. Hopefully others can either confirm what I think I hear, or fill in the remaining blanks. Link: Act 1 Part 13 (3:53-7:44) [Starting from Voldemort's second stanza:] The other boys would laugh and jeer But I'd catch 'em tapping their toes And when I'd start to sway They'd get carried away And oh, how the feeling grows I'd take my foot My little foot And with that foot Oh how I'd start to [shake](?) [I think it must be "shake" - at 6:44, when everyone is dancing, you can see that they all shake their foot for a beat after kicking it back and forth.] I'd take two feet Two tiny feet Hey look! That's neat It's coming [true](?) Oh boy I get to dance again Woohoo! [The verse where Harry is Imperio'd:] You take your foot Your little foot Hey look! Your foot See how it starts to [shake](?) QUIRRELL: [Ooo, try his arms!](?) [How 'bout](?) a twirl He's like a girl! [How overdue](?) I get to finally dance again with you [During V and Q's chorus:] It's lovely swaying And the music's playing [The final pre-chorus and chorus -- second stanza especially needs work] DEATH EATERS (VOLDEMORT): I take my foot (You take your foot!) My little foot (Take that little foot!) And oh, my foot (Let me hear it in the house!) See how it starts to [shake](?) [Oh Voldie's back](?) (Hello world!) [ ](?) (I'm gonna getcha!) [ ](?) But this is something he's gotta do VOLDEMORT AND DEATH EATERS: I'll dance again I've been waiting all these years To dance again Now at once a chance appears Everybody make way VOLDEMORT: For a pas de bourrée VOLDEMORT AND DEATH EATERS: It's time to dance It's time to dance It's time to dance Again QUOTE(Virginia Black @ Jun 24 2009, 06:44 PM) The animated series are really where it's going wrong. I say Bring the live puppets back! I might have missed something, but I think the two animated PPPs pre-date the live ones.

Getting Fitted for New Dress Robes Posts: 53 Joined: 2:37pm May 1, 2009 Location: Reading HP in lieu of doing homework	You're welcome Bandersnatch! And I actually went back and listened to the Dumbledore bit again and think you might have been right so it's your call! I've been dying to write out the Ginny/Cho Chang song because for some reason it is my favorite so here it is (like anyone can't figure out these lyrics haha): Ginny (Act 1 Part 6) HARRY: You're tall and fun and pretty You're really, really skinny Ginny I'm the Mickey to your Minnie You're the Tigger to my Winnie Ginny I want to take you to the city Gonna take you out to dinny Ginny You're cuter than a guinea pig Want to take you up to Winnipeg That's in Canada! Cho (Act 1 Part 10) HARRY: You're tall and fun and pretty You're really, really skinny Cho Chang Wanna take you to the city Get all up in them Cho Chang You're the Mickey to my Minnie I'm the Tigger to your Winnie Cho Chang You're cuter than a guinea pig I'll take you up to Winnipeg That's in Canada! I also love "Not Alone" (Act 2 Part 5) because it's beautiful and hilarious at the same time. GINNY: I've been alone Surrounded by darkness And I've seen how heartless The world can be. And I've seen you cry And felt like it's hopeless But I'll always do my best To make you see Cuz Harry you're not alone Cuz you're here with me And nothing's ever gonna bring us down cuz nothing Can keep me from loving you And you know it's true It don't matter what'll come to be Our love is all we need To make it through Now I know it ain't easy HARRY: Know it ain't easy GINNY: But it ain't hard trying HARRY: It's so hard trying GINNY: Every time I see you smiling And I feel you so close to me Tell me BOTH: Cuz baby you're not alone Cuz you're here with me And nothing's ever gonna bring us down cuz nothing Can keep me from loving you And you know it's true It don't matter what'll come to be Our love is all we need to make it through HARRY: Well, I still have trouble! I trip and stumble Trying to make sense of things sometimes I look for reasons But I don't need 'em All I need is the look in your eyes And I realize RON: (spoken) Hey Harry! [Rad or a barf noise](?) ALL: Baby you're not alone Cuz you're here with me And nothing's ever gonna take us down Cuuuuuuz nothing Can keep me from loving you And you know it's true It don't matter what'll come to be Our love is all we need to make it through HARRY: (spoken) Guys I'm so glad you came back. I'm sorry I shouted. (sung) Cuz it don't matter what'll come to be ALL: Our love is all we need RON: To maaake HERMOINE: To maaake GINNY: To maaake HARRY: To maaake it ALL: Through-ooooo Bahaha that was funny to write that ending...

Perusing the Magical Menagerie Posts: 79 Joined: 10:51pm February 18, 2009 Location: Ravenclaw Common Room	this is an awesome list, but just to pooint something out, in the very first song (Going Back to Hogwarts) after Ron's 'that would be cool if you were actually hot' this is waht Harry says: HARRY hey Ron, lay off She's fine with what she's got and that's cool HERMIONE and that's totally awesome also, i did Voldie and Quirrel's song. i need some help towards the end, though. “Different as Can Be” Q: You won’t sleep on your tummy V: You won’t sleep on your back BOTH: We’re quite a kooky couple You’ll agree Q: We share some hands and fingers V: And yet the feeling lingers BOTH: We’re just about as different As anyone can be V: You like plotting a garden And I like plotting to kill Q: You think that you should rule the world I think books are a thrill Sipping tea by the fire is swell V: Pushing people in is fun as well I like folding all of my ties Q: And you have no friends, hey, that’s a surprise BOTH: It is plain to see When you look at you and me We’re different, different as can be V: You’re a sissy A ---- A girl And I’m the darkest of lords Q: I’m the brightest Professor here I’ve won several awards V: My new world’s About to unfold Q: You got beat By a two year old V: I’ll kill him this time Through and through Q: Or you might just give him Another tattoo BOTH: Then you must agree When you look at you and me We’re different, different as can- V: I’ll rise again And I’ll rule the world But you must help me renew For when our plan succeeds Q: Prevails! V: Part of that world goes to you Q: When I rule the world I’ll plant flowers V: When I rule the world I’ll have snakes Q:................................................V: Floweeeeeeeeeeerrrrsss(?)...............????? BOTH: When I rule the world i'm also working on a full compiliation of all songs, using what i've got form you guys and from another source who sent all of what she thought were teh act one lyrics to me, and my own listenings. so far, all i have left to type out are "Missing You" "Not Alone" (which s up here, i know, i just have to put it on my list) and "Voldemort is Going Down."

Getting Fitted for New Dress Robes Posts: 50 Joined: 8:48am January 28, 2005 Location: US	NOTE: See NEWS FLASH at the bottom of this post -- official lyrics for "Going Back to Hogwarts" now on YouTube. *** acciosirius:** Re: "Going Back to Hogwarts" QUOTE And I actually went back and listened to the Dumbledore bit again and think you might have been right so it's you're call! LOL! I went back and listened and convinced myself that you were right! Well, I'll keep both lines in as possibilities for now. Re: "Ginny / Cho Chang" QUOTE I've been dying to write out the Ginny/Cho Chang song because for some reason it is my favorite so here it is (like anyone can't figure out these lyrics haha): Actually, I'm glad you did it, because the lines about Minnie and Winnie were stumping me completely! I could hear "mini" and "winny" but I couldn't catch the rest; I thought he was maybe singing about minivans and winnebagos! QUOTE I want to take you to the city Gonna take you out to dinny That's originally what I thought he was saying, too, but then I started wondering if the last word was maybe "Denny's" (the American restaurant chain). We'll probably never know since they're almost identical in sound. Re: "Not Alone" QUOTE But [I'll or I](?) always do my best To make you see I'm hearing "I'll." QUOTE RON: (spoken) Hey Harry! Ron says something else right after that, in a sort of croak. It might be "Rad!" *** marypao: QUOTE Thanks everyone for taking the time to transcribe the lyrics!! You're welcome! * Swish_and_Flick Re: "Going Back to Hogwarts" QUOTE HARRY hey Ron, lay off She's fine with what she's got It's so darn hard to hear with the laughter over it -- all I can hear is that it ends with something that rhymes with "hot." I'll put this in my original post as another possibility. Re: "Different as Can Be" Ooh, I tried to figure out the Quirrelmort song too! Let me see what you came up with. QUOTE Q: And you have no friends, hey, that’s a surprise BOTH: It is plain to see I hear three syllables before "plain to see." I think they're singing "I guess it's plain to see" here. QUOTE Q:................................................V: Floweeeeeeeeeeerrrrsss(?)...............????? I didn't do much better here, but I think I got some of it. Quirrell's long phrase that he sings under Voldy's might be "And Jane Austen novellllllls," which is freaking hilarious. Voldemort's simultaneous list is something like: VOLDEMORT: And [(2 syllables)](?) and [rebels](?) A [fleet](?) of dementors And giants and thestrals And [all my (3 syllables)](?) Can anyone else make any headway? QUOTE i'm also working on a full compiliation of all songs, using what i've got form you guys and from another source who sent all of what she thought were teh act one lyrics to me, and my own listenings. so far, all i have left to type out are "Missing You" "Not Alone" (which s up here, i know, i just have to put it on my list) and "Voldemort is Going Down." Awesome. I think I can understand most of "Missing You" and "Voldemort is Going Down," so if you end up posting them here first, I can double-check with some confidence. And please continue to let us know if you or your source come up with different lyrics than what we post here. * Since we now have most of "Different as Can Be," let's get its reprise out of the way. Link: Act 1 Part 8 (3:07-4:15) "Different as Can Be (Reprise)" Written by AJ Holmes (I assume, since he wrote the main song) QUIRRELL: I guess it's plain to see When you look at you and me We're different, different as can be. QUIRRELL AND VOLDEMORT: We simply guarantee When you look at you and me We're different, different as can be. QUIRRELL: It's a comedy of sorts When you're bound to Voldemort. VOLDEMORT: And I'm happy as a squirrel Long as I'm with Mr. Quirrell. BOTH: We'll lead 'em to the slaughter And we'll murder Harry Potter! We're different, Different, Different, different as can be. * Thanks, everybody! Keep it going! Songs we don't have anything for yet in this thread: "Harry" - Act 1 Part 6 (5:03-7:07) ETA: Done! See below. "Hey Dragon" - Act 1 Part 9 (6:24-8:23) "Missing You" - Act 2 Part 4 (3:00-5:37) "Voldemort is Going Down" - Act 2 Part 8 (5:14-7:24) * Link: Act 1 Part 6 (5:03-7:07) "Harry" Written by Darren Criss GINNY: The way his hair falls in his eyes Makes me wonder if he'll Ever see through my disguise. And I'm under his spell. Everything is falling And I don't know where to land. Everyone knows who he is, But they don't know who I am. Harry, Harry, Why can't you see What you're doing to me? I've seen you conquer certain death. Even when you're just standing there, You take away my breath. And maybe someday you'll hear my song And understand that all along There's something more that I'm trying to say When I say: Harry, Harry, Why can't you see What you're doing to me, What you're doing to me? * NEWS FLASH!** Guess what, folks? The YouTube pages with the first two parts of the show now have the lyrics to "Going Back to Hogwarts" in the sidebars on the right-hand side! Since I assume the show was put up on YouTube by someone who was directly involved, that means we now have official lyrics for the opening number. Check them out: Act 1 Part 1 and Act 1 Part 2. The lyrics we came up with were pretty close. The last line of the first two choruses is actually "I think I'm/we're going back." Harry's line to Ron about Hermione is, "Hey Ron, come on, we're the only friends that she's got!" Towards the end, Neville says, "I think we're ready for Albus Dumbledore," and in the final chorus Dumbledore interjects, "I'm sorry, what's its name?" Oh, and Cho's posse sings "gung hei fat choy," which according to Wikipedia means "Congratulations and be prosperous" and is a traditional greeting on the Chinese happy happy new year. At the moment, none of the other songs seem to have lyrics included in the sidebars, but perhaps that will change in the near future. So keep a lookout, and let us know here if they get posted!

I vote we keep going because the lyrics on the first two are a little messy but good for clearing up the parts where we were confused. And Bandersnatch it's funny that we both went back and listened for the other's words! I'll go back and edit the part in "Not Alone" to say "I'll" since you agree Back to "Different as Can Be", I can't make a major dent in the lyrics but here's what I hear: QUIRRELL: and Jane Austen novelllls! VOLDEMORT: And [no idea lol] A fleet of dementors And giants and thestrals And all my Death Eaters!! .... "Hey Dragon" (Act 1 Part 9) HARRY: Hey Dragon, we don't gotta do this Let's reevaluate our options Put away our old assumptions Cuz really, we don't gotta go through this I'm really not that special The boy who lived is only flesh and bone Truth is in the end I'm pretty useless without friends In fact, I'm alone I spend my time at school Trying to be this cool guy I never even asked for I don't know any spells I still manage to do well But there's only so long that can last for I'm living off the glory Of a stupid children's story That I had nothing to do with I just sat there and got lucky So level with me buddy - I can't defeat thee So please don't eat me And all I can do Is sing a song for you Lalalalala DRAGON: Rarararara HARRY: Lalalalala DRAGON: Rarararara HARRY: Lalalalala DRAGON: Rarararara BOTH: Lalalala HARRY: You never asked to be a dragon I never asked to be a champion We both just jumped on this bandwagon All we need is guitar jamming REPEAT of La's and Ra's (spoken) Good night Dragon! .... "Voldemort is Going Down" (Act 2 Part 8) RON: He thinks that we're finished He thinks that we're done He thinks that it's over His battle is won - HA! He thinks that we're finished No, but we aren't through Stop and think my friends: What would Harry do for you? HERMIONE: Never gave up the fight Harry stood up for what is right Well now it's our turn BOTH: Our turn Make a joyful sound Voldemort is going down! RON: (spoken) Hyah! Come on, get in a line! R, H, G: We must unite So we can fight! Turn the battle around Time's running out It's time to shout Voldemort is going down! HERMIONE: Can't you feel a fire burning Now it's time to be a man A great big, muscley, super big, super hot man! RON: Ahhh! ALL: We won't be pushed around anymore We'll be a force you cannot ignore We'll be an army for Dumbledore For Dumbledore! We must unite So we can fight! Turn the battle around Time's running out It's time to shout Voldemort is going down! HARRY: (spoken) Guys I'm alive! I'm back, guys I know how to defeat Voldemort! Everybody follow me okay! ALL: We must unite So we can fight! Turn the battle around Time's running out It's time to shout Voldemort is going... We must unite So we can fight Voldemort is going down! Yeah!
