  • My favorite song from this musical. It is such a great story, clever, and great music.

  • I love Joss Whdens work. He kinda twists the story a bit. Makes the good guy have a bad heart, while the bad gey have a good heart. So strange, this song clearly doesnt demonstrate that, but the movie did in a way.

  • Deviantart sent me here

  • @Sandra3594 DA knows all :pm (love that site)

  • wheezy and china sang it better

  • 5 Dislikes? Ôo

    I cannot belieeeeve my eyeeeees..*sing*

  • my schools doing this play and im auditioning for penny :D

    i cant wait to sing this :DDDDDD

  • @iluvinmusic95 I can't bring myself to thumbs - up this because I am so enveloped with jealousy. 'Grats on your school being the coolest place ever.

  • I find it interesting that both Penny and Dr.Horrible had bad childhoods (it talks about them in the tie-in comic books) but Penny became very optimistic and believes there's good in everybody, whereas Dr.Horrible became extremely cynical. Though i suppose Dr.Horrible's cynicism is justified given the setting, in which people care more about Heroes and Villains than people like Penny who actually care and try to solve problems in society.

  • Comment removed

  • @BringMeTheHotMess even though I like Dr horrible a lot better, what you said technically doesn't make any sense, because if you were Penny, you would exactly as Penny did because, well, you're Penny.

  • @GreenMSTS That is, assuming a deterministic universe. However, it is hardly possible that Penny would have chosen Dr. Horrible, since she "never met him". She could have chosen Billy, but really, would Billy have become Dr. Horrible (as we know him) had she chosen him over Cpt. Hammer? I have my doubts regarding that matter.

  • i know what im singin for my next talent show

  • She sang "somekind of harmony is on the rise..."

    AND THEN THEY DID A HARMONY.

    GENIUS.

  • I love this more than life its self!

  • NPH is soooo talented

  • My friend and I are performing this song for a soiree at our school, but we kind of made Dr. Horrible lesbian, since we're both girls...

  • @themagicmeow Doesn't that ruin the whole relationship between Horrible and Hammer?

  • @GypsyLeah

    Not at all. Dr. Horrible's problem with Captn. Hammer is that he always gets beaten by him. And that Hammer sort of 'stole' Penny from Horrible. If Horrible was female, there would still be the same kind of feelings. At least, that's how I see it.

  • @themagicmeow Penny was never Horrible's to begin with though. There's this whole 'cockblocked by a bigger guy' thing that you see in the series that doesn't exist (or at least is quite different) between females. What I'm trying to say is that there are aspects of the relationship between Hammer and Horrible that I think are distinctly masculine and that I'm not sure can be translated well into femininity, if you see what mean.

  • Man, does anyone else find optimists annoying? I'm so Dr. Horrible xD

  • If you think about it, each songs are both true, it depends on what your point of view is. I think that's the best part of this song.

  • @kodiakfat Interesting take on it.

  • Both songs are true. No one is either Dr Horrible or Penny, we're all both people, because each of us doesn't have just 1 personality, we have thousands. We're never just negative or upset. Maybe I can't speak for everyone, but I feel like a different person nearly every day, sometimes progressive and positive, and sometimes downright pessimistic.

  • @SagaciousSilence I'm pretty sure Dr. Horrible is supposed to be a dynamic character like the rest of us. He demonstrates the isolation that can come to a rather normal person who gets too idealistic or fixated on an imaginary ideal.

  • @KNZMl I agree with that, too!

  • I LOVE NPH!!!!

  • @kissyourself888

    You'd be crazy not to. *Drool*

  • Not this video in particular, but every one seems to end up as that.

  • Seriously, does every video with NPH have to end up as a gay discussion. (NPI)

    He's a great actor and I don't really care beyond that. BTW this is a great example of a modern day musical that people still enjoy. Can't wait for #2.

  • If I were Penny I'd pick Dr. Horrible over captain Hammer any day 

  • @BringMeTheHotMess In the end she did, but then she died. Happy Birthday!

  • @BringMeTheHotMess Note, Penny didnt know the good (haha) doctor was even into he that way.

  • Favorite song.

  • I loveeeeee this song! I wish Neil Patrick Harris wasn't gay! He is sooo hot! :))

  • @SimsCat988  WTF HE ISNT GAY! IS HE!?

  • @minecraftFTW1996 .....Yes.... He and his boyfriend got engaged on the night they announced gay marriage legal in New York...

  • @MissusSmo Actually they were engaged for years :)

  • im trying to convince my teachers to let me play docter horrible in our school play just so i can sing this =)

  • :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • I thought it was called On the Rise

  • This is also one of my favorites. Beauuuutiful duet with Neil Patrick Harris and Felicia Day :) And the melody <3

  • There are 4 dolts with a half a brain.

  • Ahh beautiful though

  • The lyrics = my brain. It sucks to live with this confrontation all the time.

  • He has such an amazing voice!!!!!! :D

  • love this song can you say singalong all night ! :D

  • This song really gets stuck in your head! ... And I actually mean that in a good way. I really didn't like it the first time I heard it, but then in played on loop in my head for 24 hours and grew on me. Lol. Thanks for uploading a decent-quality version of this!

  • why is my comment the top rated? it's not even witty or anything...

  • @xxxPWNAGEFTDUBZxxx Because we all agree with you! =)

  • His part is kind of like a plea for help.

  • I proud I'm not the only one that likes Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog...JOSS WHEDON IS A GENIUS!!!!!!!

  • the way they synchronize their voices is magnificent

  • ..because the status...is not quo....

  • It IS called "My Eyes"? o.O wtf? Why? lol...Sorry just doesn't make sense to me...

    Anyone know why it's called "My Eyes" instead? O.o

  • @EnigmaticSilhouette thats what its called on the cd

  • @EnigmaticSilhouette I thought it was On The Rise...

  • @hotgirls12345678910 Me too...But the Official Soundtrack does say "my Eyes" -_- Made myself look like an idiot once cause of that...lol >> Cause again, it doesn't make sense why it's called that. It should be On The Rise, but oh well *shrugs*

  • My friends in my choir did this song for our last show and it was amazing!! im now in love with it(:

  • Oh Joss Whedon, will you marry me?

  • This is how I feel today. Not every day, but today.

  • Thank God for the Replay Button! :D

  • they did this play at my school! sick song

  • I absolutely love this song! It's so catchy. The parts are just beautifully put together, by themselves they sound like their own song, but together the harmonies are just amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm so glad that I found this... Neil Patrick Harris is such a great singer and Actor, he's so good as Dr. Horrible ! <3

  • In a college production of this, and can't get this song out of my head! I adore it! <3

  • Neil Patrick Harris <3

  • 3 dolts with half a brain

  • @dnalols each, or between them?

  • Joss Whedon is fucking awesome.

  • When I was reading the lyrics I read the H's as Harris and the P's as Penny haha

  • When first started watching this video, I was like "This is really weird..." but then I was like omg this is awesome!

  • the fuck

  • Are their words to describe how much I love this song?

  • I love the contrast of Dr. Horrible's cynicism and Penny's optimism spelled out so nicely in this song, showing that a situation can seem very different to two different people.

  • @KyoSohma2211 I find myself more trusting in Dr Horrible's perspective. This world is horseshit, Bad Horse's

  • @Citan1981 I trust in both :) You can't have good without bad. It just depends on what you choose to focus on. Personally, I know the world isn't the greatest, but it could be a helluva lot worse. I've been in the pits of cynicism like Dr. Horrible, and I've been on cloud 9 like Penny. So I understand how both of them feels, and I guess that's what makes this song even more special to me. It's very relateable.

  • I love this musical so much! Seriously Felicia Day is amazing, and the songs are so catchy....And I love Dr.Horrible's personality, I see so much of it in myself. Give us that sequel ASAP!

  • thums this up =D

  • 3 people are dolts with half a brain.

  • These songs are so addictive.

  • i love how the song is completely opposite it's awesome

    one is evil one is saintly

  • My school's advanced theatre is doing this, and I'm training one of the possible people for the role of Dr Horrible!

  • Oh, i just adore this song...

    It's very powerful, even by its self, aside from the show.

  • love your hair <3 :)

  • @LOLmalyKiwOxP thanks! :D

  • @JerkieLegLeg :D:D:D lol :D you´re welcome ..

  • this is my fav song in dr horrible

  • Much better sound quality on this then others use. How did you do that, I wonder.

  • @rawstarmusic :) magic ..... 

  • @JerkieLegLeg what kind of magic?

  • @whatthefuck386 ... the black one  :P

  • @JerkieLegLeg Dance magic

  • @JerkieLegLeg What does it have to be black, why can't it ever be blue, or a sacrifice of three kittens and two old ladies??

  • @whatthefuck386 Celestia's Magic.

  • @rawstarmusic he buys it on itunes and records it on fraps?

  • @rawstarmusic My guess is that they actually know a thing or two about compression rates and encoding, unlike a large majority of YouTube uploaders =X

  • my favorite part is when NPH sings "and crashing to the ground" near the beginning... just the way he says "ground" makes me rewind it every time.

  • Is this a show at all I know im a retard but i fell inlove with the song when i heard a vocaloid version -dies- sorry for me being a retard

  • @misa431 DX NO, YOU'RE NOT A RETARD! I NEED THE LINK TO THIS VOCALOID VERSION! D'8

  • @MidnaLoveLinkforever

    I think the vocaloid version of this song is in a video posted by a user called Spinderfly.

  • @misa431 The Vocaloid version is great but i wish that they had just used the whole song.

  • @chaos4179 i perfer the part where the boy sings to where the girls sings

  • @misa431 good point, the boys part is better then the girls.

  • omfg neil patrick harrissssss <3

  • I know you probably got asked this a million times, but where did you get this and can you send me the song? I tried looking for the CD and couldn't find it.

    Thanks!

  • This is soooo Light Yagami

  • this song is great

  • IT. CUTS. OFF.

  • I was singing along and bobbing my head.... I'm such a nerd. >.<

  • Such a great song...

  • Does anyone else feel like they trip every time they hear Felicia slur on the "seems to me"?

  • I love Neil... His voice is so amazing ^^ I like how their views are so seperate. Penny's all like "The world is finally leveling out!" and Horrible's like "The world is just another poison away from being ruin!"

  • If you're on American Idol, I'll vote for you!!!! Be sure to try out (if you can make it in the door through that crowd) good luck!!!

  • except that they cut the end off which ruins it. >:(

  • I adore Neil's voice X3

    So... I don't wanna say cute, but it is quite cute.

    I like it, it's soft but powerful.

  • You know... if anyone's a Green Lantern fan, if you remove the love interest of Penny from a lot of Dr. Horrible's songs, they suit the character of Sinestro to a tee!

  • Love this song!

  • Felicia Day sounds little bit like Alyson Hannigan..:D

  • i just saw the movie hahaha it was awesome :)

  • Felicia Day's such a good singer!

  • Can you Belive your eyes? Is the world finnaly growing wise?

  • If you look on the Dr Horrible website, they call it My Eyes.

  • I like 'em all!

  • This and Brand New Day are my favorite songs from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

  • mine too! :D And My Freeze Ray!

  • those are my two favorite too! I love the whole soundtrack though

  • the birds are chirping ya gonna DIE lol

  • @xxxPWNAGEFTDUBZxxx OMG SAME! :D

  • Comment removed

  • @xxxPWNAGEFTDUBZxxx I love this, along with Brand New Day, Bad Horse, and Slipping :)

  • @HetaliaGirl1 and the rest of the soundtrack

  • hahaha best song ever!!!!

  • i cant stop sing this song either, and almost no one knowes about this movie

  • I love this song, my sister and i sing it together. I sing Penny she sings Dr. Horrible

  • Neil Patrick Harris ... just awesome

  • Help me, I can't stop singing this song :D

  • Fab! I've listened to this 6 times in a row!

  • her voice is amazing.

    thanks for the upload

  • Hey, do you think you could re-upload these sometime? These are the best versions I've found on YouTube (because they're directly from the CD :P), but they're effectively ruined by having the endings cut off. I know it's YouTube's fault and not yours, but I think everyone would appreciate it if you could re-upload them with a tag on the end so that the songs don't get cut short. Thanks :D

  • I'm such a sucker for male/female duets. :) This song is so lovely.

  • I accendently put a thumbs down for this but i really meant to put a thumbs up for this thing. Just so you know.

  • same here, they sound so amazing

  • @shdwfeather

    it is, isn't it? :-) They have such harmony together.

  • My older sister showed me the musical and I liked it and I luv this song so I looked it up on youtube and here I am! THis song is lovely!

  • Billy, oh Billy Boy! I knew you would come back :D

  • It would if you ever saw Billy Madison.

  • All your tracks for this soundtrack are much better quality than the others; there are no environmental sound effects; just the vocals and music, and it's really nice.

  • Thanks for appreciation  :-)

  • @Scheme086 Frankly, losing the sound effects annoys the hell out of me when it comes to "Slipping". That song was clearly written with the inclusion of the blaster shots in mind. It just sounds off without them.

  • The Lyrics are amazing. This is my favorite song of the blog. It has rhythm, it has great lyrics, it has two sides of world, and it is just so fun to listen to. Instant Fav!

  • This is my absolute favorite song! I love it. I kinda agree with both of them. It's such a pretty song though!

  • This song perfectly embodies the contrast between realism and romanticism. There's nothing wrong with being optimistic, as long as you remember that the world is not a warm and happy place.

  • I love this song. Poor Billy...

  • it's so beautiful!

  • dood are you sure that dr horrible isn't my long-lost identical twin of the mind or something i love this song but tend to agree more with the billy half of it.

  • Thats because billy's half is right.

  • VK does it feel good being right when almost everyone else is wrong?

  • Lolz!! Yea. First time in a long time. my friends agree with penny.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he's so cute!

  • Jerkielegleg FTW! XD

  • lol

  • nice cut off but :( a great song

  • OMG, it's "My Eyes" people!
