  • This musical is going to end. For now ;D

  • You suck... for now.

  • I'm going to tell you guys this because i'm overwhelmed with happiness. My girlfriend dumped me a week ago so all i look at is porn. I'm in my senior year of high school and i'm not sure if my grades will get me to a good college. Idk what my future is in life and i started letting up on life because a year from now we might get 2012(if it happens). But after listening to this song... this 3 minute song changed my perspective on life. Now... im going to see avenue q live.

  • @ims0a5ian HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • this song, fantasies come true, and if you were gay are my favorites :D

  • "Only for now sex

    is only for now your hair

    is only for now George Bush

    is only for now" XD

  • "Every thing in life is only for now except for death and paying taxes ."

    Did they forget Avenue Q?

  • The beauty of life is that life goes on. c:

  • @bellamai Until you die

  • this is the tune for sucks to be me XD

  • this happens in alot of music the only difference is they are usually called reprises and use the same ,kinda changed up lyrics

  • @leala910 actually reprises are just shorter versions of the original song. I dont know what to call this except awesome

  • I recently saw this (it was amazing). For "George Bush" they said "Rick Scott" who's our governer. People cheered XD

  • @sighcantthinkofaname When I saw it, they said "Glenn Beck" hahaha

  • LOL.

    Stupid liberal part of the song almost ruined it.

  • @gtamythmaster43 HEY! HEY! HEY!... hey!

    Stop it. Stop it.

  • @KiropLokiIncarnate

    Stop what brother?

  • The Wall Street Protestors accepted the inequality... Then that "for now" passed.

  • This sounds so happy but when you actually listen to it, it's not necessarily a happy ending... It's VERY realistic... WHich is what makes Avenue Q So freaking brilliant. It just flat out teaches you about life!

  • @Headsetphobias It's actually quite sad when you think about it - Princeton never found his purpose, etc. But the fact that it's realistic just plays even more into the point of the musical; "Just like your life... only funnier."

    I really love this musical because of the fact that this resembles real life so much while still being hilarious. A true masterpiece.

  • 6 people suck

  • y is it that my loneliness for now feels like it'll last forever

  • Look: There's 6 dislikes,but there's so many likes the white part in the middle pushed it off.

  • There is more wisdom in this song than in any Chinese cookie I've ever had

  • I watched this musical in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Horizon Theater and it was amazing! Best musical ever! :D

  • The perfect song to end this perfect musical with.

  • its the same toon as sucks to be me!

  • @puppypouter133 if i had to take a gues its because i think it sucks to be me starts the musical

  • @RATHORAGE oh

  • 0:24 Gary's line.

    So beautiful, always makes me shiver.

  • saw this on their UK tour and they said Jedward! instead of George bush lol

  • This song just really speaks to me. It's getting me through some things right now, especially the line "And we'll accept the things we can not avoid for now"

  • Saw this for the first time at international festival in Lincoln. Great Show

  • Haha, I saw this yesterday, and they said "Fox News," in stead of "George Bush". Great stuff.

  • @dahuterschuter At the end of my musical they said, "Glen Beck" was only for now. XD

  • @fightersanime Mine said Jedward!

  • @fightersanime When I saw it they said "Fox News" :)

  • i went to a show in Texas and they said Barack instead of George Bush and everyone started to cheer and was like whaaaa?!?!?!

  • Everything in life is only...FOR PORN

  • I have no idea why I always cry at this song like right now tears are rolling down my cheeks and I have no idea!!!

  • Why is this the same beat as everyone's a little bit racist?

  • @Ksalald it isn't, it's the same beat as it sucks to be me =)

  • I do love when musicals have a recurring tune throughout :D it makes everything much more fun to sing along to!

  • In Minnesota they replaced George Bush with Michele Bachmann!!! :D

  • This is... slightly disturbing.

  • Best song in the whole show <3

  • The whole time I was singing "It sucks to be me". The same song but different lyrics.

  • What a depressing song

    I don't like change

  • Sigh of relief at 2:02

  • 444 likes, 4 dislikes.... Should I press the like button?

  • 4 people wanted George Bush longer than for now.

  • this song means that there will be  a seaquel

  • @stephanlmao it's a broadway musical...musicals don't have seaquels

  • @Justbecausexox Most don't, they made a sequel to Phantom called Love Never Dies, but it was pretty terrible

  • @Megagreentron I feel like they could do alot with a sequel to avenue q though, spite the fact that two stage avenue q's would be going around probably confusing people and making more interpretations of the characters than there already are lmao.

  • @Justbecausexox The Phantom Of the Opera had "Love Never Dies" As A Sequel. It was a musical.

  • i like how not only do they sing, but they do like acapella too

  • Sex

    Your Hair

    And Goerge Bush is all you need

  • man, songs just fix everything! don't they!

  • When I went to see it yesterday they said Jedward instead of george bush XD It was a good replacement for british folk.

  • @pitchivoicebianca I went to see it on the 11th :D Jedward part made me laugh so hard XD

  • @LyriaNightwalker Hahaha, yeah I saw it in Glasgow, they did Jedward too =]

  • I had my mom listen to this and she busted up and "sex is only for now"

  • I know someone who should listen to this

  • why is rebbeca black in the corner?

  • Sesame Street teaches you how to deal with cookies and addition.

    Avenue Q teaches you how to deal with life.

  • @ILIVEINTHELITTLEROOM plus its funny as heck

  • @ILIVEINTHELITTLEROOM

    Not really, it teaches you that life is/can be shittier then it is.

  • Just saw the show live at the Birmingham Hippodrome

    Best show Ive ever seen.

  • @MindstormXL OH GOD. I see it in July! Is it as badass as I hope?

  • @AwesomePlzInc

    Better, lets just say that.

  • @UrbanBeast55 nope. Me too

  • Is it strange I draw emotional support from this song?

  • @UrbanBeast55 nope. me too...

  • @UrbanBeast55 Nope, myself as well.

  • George Bush!

    Is only for now!

    That always makes me laugh.

  • The Tour is over :( Everything in life is only for now.

  • I've heard them do "BP" and "This Show"

    :)

  • At the Milton Keynes, UK show last Friday (22.04.11) they said Jedwood :D.

  • I can corroborate this.

    At Durham on Wednesday, they said Glen Beck.

  • They said Glen Beck in Charlotte which was only days after the announcement he was leaving television... Confirmation of the impermanence of all things the song talks about.

  • 4 people hate George Bush, and I agree with FireIceQueen01.

    In the Off-Broadway one, I read that it says Fox News. In the last show, I read that they said THIS SHOW! And Glenn Beck is a radio and television host, author, entrepreneur, and political commentator. He has a radio and TV show, and the TV show airs on Fox News!

  • What did they change the George Bush line to when he was out of office? Glen Beck? Palin?

  • @kojisatz Glen Beck last night. xD

  • @kojisatz it was written during his presidency that is why.

  • Comment removed

  • when i watched this show on broadway i was laughing my ass of. and when this song came on i was so sad that it ended. especially that ending when princeton gets his little solo. the little jingle made me appreciate everything i have and i think this whole play made me better prepared for my life. i have everything i need here with my dog and my girl.

  • Saw it in Norfolk, England. Laughed at how instead of "george bush" they said "Jedward" especially since I had the biggest Jedward fan sat next to me :P

  • I realize this musical is primarily funny, but it's also a beautiful slice of life.

  • Lighten up; except for death and taxes, everything is only for now!

  • Lol when I went they said 'Jedward is only for now'

  • @FireIceQueen01 Cha cha cha

  • @FireIceQueen01 It's upto 4 now.... shock horror! Very bad peoples!

  • @FireIceQueen01 Well, actually 4 people made the mistake and used it. But I'm pretty surre you'll fine them n.n

  • @FireIceQueen01  Four people now.

  • Saw it in San Francisco the other day. "George Bush" was replaced with "Glenn Beck!"

  • @ssrc I saw it in SF, too! It was a great show, wasn't it?

  • @ssrc Really? I saw it on off-broadway in New York a week or two ago. They sad "Fox News"

  • @cb2398 inst fox news forever

  • @ssrc Why Glenn Beck? Who is he?

  • @234sirhc They said that in my showing too!!!! :D

  • Three people aren't for now, but for forever and.. oh shit.. Kill them! Now!! O.o If the people who don't like this song are forever.. The horror...

  • this song brings a little tear to my eye every time

  • That last line...gives me chills every time :)

  • I love this song and the musical, i wish i saw it in london, but on elaine paige on sunday the news was it closed some time last week, but don't worry avenu q is going strate to a uk tour, but thats all i know.

    my school did this song and the theme from avenu q and there's a fine, fine line at are last spring consert, it was kind of wired beacuse i was and still am the only male vocalist in are chior/singer group, we do loads of musical theatre and pop songs.

    I feel happy listening to this.

    Matt

  • @matthewparsons1996 Yeah, it finished on October 30th, I went to the last show and "George Bush" was "This Show" and they did a "The internet is for Porn" Encore ;)

  • After listening to this song for awhile I relaize how depresing it sounds.

  • Sex, your hair, and George Bush. What a lovely combination.

  • "For now we're employed."

    Not for long...

  • Lol crap now I'm imagining 'for porn!' everywhere and now it makes me laugh xD

  • @EllunaHellen George Bush is only for ____

  • @doogertothex EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW xD

  • @EllunaHellen Now i have that in my head. CURSE YOU xDDDD For now..

  • whahah SEX!

  • Lol George Bush! Isn only for now >w<

  • I love the Laalaalaa's at the end!

  • Awsum vid i seen this play twice now and it gets funnier evry time :P

  • You guys are idiots having a personal argument on an Avenue Q video's comments.

  • @MajBlood,@ginnypotter900,@req­uinox,@Vaxliscious, and everyone else. Can you guys and girls just apologize to each other and forget about it? Even if you can't see what you did wrong, whatever you did offended someone else. if you forgive whoever offended you, and apologize to whoever you offended, you wouldn't have to log on everyday to post more stuff, and actullally enjoy the song.

  • @MajBlood

    I don't think what you're realizing that "except for death and paying taxes" was not invented in this song. It is an age old quote started, as requinox said, by Ben Franklin. If you're going to blame anyone, blame Ben Franklin, one of the smartest men to have ever walked the face of the globe. And the way you attacked Vaxliscious for quoting the particular part of the song was incredlibly childish, as was insulting requinox for pointing out this incredible display of unintelligence.

  • Except for death and taxes, indeed. Every once in a while, I think about those. Pending over my head...

  • haha in the show I saw, they changed George Bush to BP!!

  • @PoketoMtg BP oil spill xD

  • @TechnicolourZebra Wow... that may have to leave in a year then

  • @PoketoMtg Oh, it's closing in October over here ;D

  • Is it sad that I was waiting for them to say "everything life is only" and then i wanted trekki monster to break in and be like "for porn!" ? Or did anyone else feel that same disappointment?

  • Except for death and paying taxes.

  • @Vaxliscious Fuck you asshole. Show some respect.

  • @MajBlood ...I was quoting the song.

  • @Vaxliscious Your point?

  • @MajBlood I'm just confused, that's all. Did you think that part of the song was offensive or sad?

    I didn't, I don't get who I'm disrespecting. So maybe I don't understand the song?

    I don't get your point, either.

  • @Vaxliscious It really is the worst part of the song. They should see if they could replace it with something else. You should not glorify something like that. My mom has been down ever since my brother died a few months back and I was going to get her to listen to this song to cheer her up, but I realized I could not do that because of that one line.

  • @MajBlood

    This could've been dealt with earlier if you had explained that I was "glorifying" it somehow. It's not what I intended.

    We've all faced death, but we each have our own ways of dealing with it.

    I relate to that line in a different way you do, that's all. You tell me it makes you think of your mother, however I think of someone else. My grandmother. She's losing a son to meningitis and old age. Both are content with the fact that they are about to die, and that makes me feel better.

  • @Vaxliscious Ok. It is good at least, that you are not some ignorant kid who knows nothing about death. I can, however, tell you that your grandmother would be crushed if her son died before her, no matter how old or sick. Anyways, truce?

  • @MajBlood

    I think an apology would be more reasonable in this case, see as how you attacked Vaxliscious for simply quoting a line from the song (which in turn is a reference a famous Benjamin Franklin quote).

    The fact that you got so incensed over one sentence (which by the way was completely benign and undirected) and demanded "respect" by swearing at Vaxliscious is ridiculous. Frankly I'm surprised Vaxliscious was even nice enough to reconcile after that unprovoked outburst.

  • @requinox Hmm. I think it is quite obvious that you are an individual who has never truly experienced the problems of death. And because of that, you do not deserve a response from me, nor respect on this particular issue. Vaxiliscious, I am glad that you understand my concerns and I wish you luck in all your future endeavors.

  • @MajBlood Wow... people like you make me understand why my generation is known as Generation Me. 

  • @ginnypotter900 I suggest you read my post again little girl. My post has nothing to do with me, it was in respects for my mother and brother. Christ I hate illiterate people like you. When you grow up and experience real problems and the death of loved ones... then you can come back here and talk to the grown ups.

  • @MajBlood I read your post. You cussed out a girl for quoting the song, and you can't seem to realize that you were the one who was hurtfull here. And hun, I have experienced death. I've watch my much loved grandfather slowly die. So don't you dare say I don't know what it's like. I can see you have some issues, but attacking people online just makes you a jerk. Would your brother or mother want you to do so? I know if my Gidy knew I did that, he would be angry.

  • @ginnypotter900 Grandfather? Please. No offense, but that cannot compare in the least. Perhaps my post was a bit rude, but it still had nothing to do with me and everything to do with show respect for my family. Besides that other poster and I have already made amends, let it go.

  • @MajBlood A bit? Ha. All she did was quote the song, not insult your family. You're just to self centered to see that not everything relates to you. And don't you dare say losing a close family member is no less painful.

  • @ginnypotter900 For the third time, it isn't about me, it is about my family. Now listen. I do not mean to be insensitive, but if I were to agree that you losing your grandfather is comparable to my mother losing her son, then I would be a liar. I will fight about this no longer, someday you will see what I have seen, and I could not expect you to understand until then.

  • @ginnypotter900 Ha, put you in your place, bitch. 

  • @MajBlood Or maybe I realized I'd never be able to convince you you're a rude bastard who thinks the world revolves around himself and I might as well just roll my eyes and be the bigger person and just ignore your last comment? I was getting sick of you. Know you just proved that you're an immature dumbass.

  • @ginnypotter900 Hey don't be a sore loser. You were wrong as well as rude. You should feel lucky that I am letting you getting away without apologizing. Run along now little girl.

  • @MajBlood I don't even have to say anything... that comment you just made proved you're a rude, self-centered jackass.

  • @ginnypotter900 Hmph poor little girl. I suggest you go back to high school, you really shouldn't drop out. Then you can settle for an easy administration trade. Or you can just stay home and make sandwiches for your master.

  • @MajBlood Narcissistic Personality Disorder:

    "People with this disorder often believe they are of primary importance in everybody's life": "People with narcissistic personality disorder often display snobbish, disdainful, or patronizing attitudes":

    Has a very strong sense of entitlement:

    Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes:

    Thinks that he or she is "special" and unique:

    Lacks empathy

  • @ginnypotter900 Please don't remove your comments, this is youtube, a place to vent your frustrations without consequence, embrace it. As for your analysis of me, I would agree with everyone of those except for lacking empathy. I am constantly campaigning for rights of younger people, I am against rascism, I am strongly against bullying etc etc. I know more than your common man. Are you doing psychology in university? You should consider it.

  • @MajBlood Actually, the first time I posted that it got bunched up together, so I removed it and fixed it.

    I want to be a psychiatrist when I'm older. :)

    Not that I'm complaining, but what's with the change of attitude?

  • @ginnypotter900 I don't like being mean. Sometimes when I think of how much hate I am filled with it depresses me. I am not sorry for saying what I did about that line in the song, but I am sorry that I called you such terrible things.

  • @MajBlood I accept your apology. Can our bygones be bygones?

  • @ginnypotter900 Life isn't easy. My family has been in shambles ever since my brother died back in February. However, I think I do have mental problems that torment me. I constantly sink into depression where I lose all interest in all the things I love. Little things cause me to get upset like my poor excuse for friends, my poor success at socializing, unfair laws in my province... At that awkward time now too where all my friends are 19 and I am still 18 and unable to go downtown haha.

  • @ginnypotter900 I had been referred to a psychiatrist since mid-July but as of yet I am still waiting to get my appointment. Soon I will have to return to university in town and I will have no time for appointments. I respect you for wanting to be a psychiatrist and helping people. I have thought about doing that one time but realized I would go insane if I had to listen to other peoples torture all of my life. I hope you are successful.

  • @MajBlood Thank you... and I hope you can get help. I know I'm just some kid on the internet, but if you ever need to rant just message me. I'm depressed too, and I know how horrible it is to need someone to talk to, but no one cares... to want to let the pain out, to explode at people who don't deserve it. It helps to find an outlet... to at least scream when no ones around.

  • @mchngwa63 Not what they dropped to, but his first term ratings were the lowest ever bar 1 i think (not including Harrison or whoever it was who died a month after becoming president).

    I'm English so i'm not sure, but i'm getting my information from Gallop

  • @mchngwa63 Lol well in England or outside the US you would have thought so, but I think Obama has one of the lowest approval ratings ever

  • @mchngwa63 When I saw it they said Glenn Beck X3

  • Comment removed

  • hmm, interesting how the moral of the song went from "sometimes you have to wait for good things" to "carpe diem"

  • "Your hair!" XD
