Tell 'Em the Truth

[TheStar2bella]

I love how Alan Cumming (who plays Rooster in the 1999 version of Annie) is the one who makes the reference.

[dabadanman]

I'm a patriotic person, but this is the first time I've ever been turned on by lady liberty.

[Anastasia910Peace]

Lol, fabulous prison!!!

[jeisensei]

3:12 I dropped my joint... it burnt my leg.

[Nullifidian]

I just noticed the continuity error. At roughly 1:28, they've still left Christian Campbell's hands strapped down, and you can actually see him in the background looking down at his hands like, "Alright, now what?" But then at 1:38 , and without anybody going back, he's now entirely free.

[tempo3rd]

Did everyone catch the 'special salute' the prisoners make at 1:44?

[Nullifidian]

@tempo3rd They're pointing at their heads using their forefingers. It's just a dance move illustration of the line they sing: "We need to teach them how to *think* (and the salute happens here)."

[tempo3rd]

@Nullifidian Not that, right after, when they step onto the railing at about 1:45 It's a nazi salute!

[geekoftheweek27]

This song always makes me think of those Will Ferrell/Ana Gasteyer duets from SNL. Good times.

[muffystjohn86]

@geekoftheweek27 ooooh hot mic!! LOL!!!

[Penace15]

I love the prisoners at 2:08-2:14. That part gets me every time I listen or watch this song!

[penelopesa]

On no! Not iconography!

[Newscholar]

It seems to me that this would be even better if I were high

[Campari9187]

@Newscholar It totally is :)

[muffystjohn86]

@XxPumpkinSpicexX Christian Campbell, but Alan looks HOT as the goat during the orgy

[monstakididee]

amy rockss 'give me your everlasting YEEaaaaarrning'

brava LOL

[dmfriend25]

they should make a facebook flair with Uncle Sam saying "I want you to drop that joint" xD

[gothichyppie]

How can you not see the irony of a marijuana leaf at 2:08?

[FiaFi]

@gothichyppie What marjuana leaf? I must be missing it.

[rachyp2010]

@FiaFi the inmates make a pot leaf when they're lined up by the rail about 2:08

[gothichyppie]

@FiaFi The way the inmates are standing, I think it looks like a leaf, it's probably intentional.

[KHearts16]

This would be F***ing funny if this was in an early episode of weeds when the kids are in school for Drug awareness month or something.

[m0m057]

the blood's freaking me out . .

[SilverTrenchcoatGal]

God, Amy is so great here.

[rockey82b]

Wow, Amy Spanger can sing like crazy. She goes so high, but so well.

[MissLadyJ782]

Dear Amy Spanger why do you take things up the octive? please dont..

[ladyvader139]

@MissLadyJ782 I enjoy Amy's voice

[nadavgal]

the stachu of liberty can sing!

[rockey82b]

[yippee9]

if i had to name Breakout satrs in this movie it wold be a 3-way tie with Kristen Bell, Ana Gaster and Amy Spangler (Mary lane, Mae, and In this video Lady liberty (satnd up and applaud)

[Zephyr7990]

This is easily the most fabulous prison in America.

[mfsgoodlilslave]

as fun as this is, it also really reminds you not to trust the gov't and media so much..

[zeldafreak71]

For someone who's all green lady liberty's hot.

[kssykssygg]

I just learned that Ralph also did the voice of the Crypt Keeper. THAT'S where I heard that amazing laugh before. This movie is amazing.

[animangadorama]

one of the best dances in the movie

[Hike0sav]

3:21 is the best part of this song! I just love her voice!

[ellenelizabethgibson]

I LLOOOOOOVVVVEEEEE THIISSS!!!!! AMY is awsome!

[Belnades]

2:20 is my favorite!

[Lisa246861]

I love the Annie reference!

[Oppledeldoc]

@Lisa246861 Maybe the best line in the movie.

[thefatman69dude]

lol the lady is just covered in the blood lol and every one completely ignores it lol

[Nerpha]

Does anyone have "we know best" ,the song they cut?

[BRoKEnPsYcO]

HAHAH, both gorge Washington and Tomes Jefferson smoked marijuana. LOL

[AxelCutlass]

I love how everyone just ignores the fact that Mae is covered in blood.

[nerdsrule06]

[thoughtsmeander]

Amy's riffing is insanely awesome

[BioPopTarts]

2:01 is the best line

[ekufan1]

I think Sally is even hotter as the statue of liberty

[Drewisgreat1]

Agreed!

[cabaretwitch]

[IW2GIN]

[SeverkaA]

Alan Cumming (in the wheelchair) is the best in this scene.

beautiful singing :-)

[Phantomguy92]

2:26 my fav part.

[pinkkryptonite86]

jazz musicians and immigrants...XD

i love this musical

[oliviauncensored]

I love how through this whole scene Mae is all bloody :)

Lmfao and at 2:11 where he touches her hand and then looks at it ; is priceless.

[Nerdalways]

I love Ana!!!

[chitoryu12]

This is even funnier because we just did Annie at my school last month, and I saw Lake Mary Prep try to do it two weeks ago (Lake Mary Prep: Worst drama department ever)

[Obsessionful]

Hey, you. Where do you live?

Actually, that sounded stalkerish. Sorry, but I knew almost everyone in the LMP cast of Annie two weeks ago xD I live in Winter Springs.

[chitoryu12]

I live in Longwood, and I go to Lake Mary High School. We actually did Annie ourselves just a few weeks before LMP did. I'm trying to put up videos of our cast.

[unearthlyangel89]

Is Lady Liberty Kristen Bell?

[bennyraven]

No, Lady Liberty is Amy Spanger. Kristen Bell is not in this clip.

[408708]

2:25

[EnjorProductions]

i LOVE Ana's voice!!!!

[tasara1989]

weed isnt bad...

[EspanolBot]

Hee, Annie reference. ^^

[Elphie31]

I love the fact that Mae (Ana Gasteyer) is still wearing the blood-spattered dress that she urdered Jack in. LOL

This movie is hilarious. (:

[calfan3]

i typed in "civic virtue" and this came up?

[NoMeds69]

[ameliabelia]

I love how Alan Cumming dances/wiggles around in his wheelchair. XD

[54spiritedwill54]

This is the funniest movie ever

[ShizaMinelli]

I think Alan Cumming looks liek Clay Aiken in this clip. And Mae's "Let the truth be heard" at 1:00 is hilarious!

[ameliabelia]

Omigosh, he does. O_O

[u2theedge]

great director love all his films cant wait for race to witch mountain!

[muffystjohn86]

It's a song like this that makes me proud to be an American!!!!

[SuperEgo1989]

your serious.... this song is more of a sarcastic spin on how the government told the "truth" about the effects of weed, ... they used wrong propaganda to manipulate everybody to thinking that weed was as bad as heroin..

[muffystjohn86]

I was being sarcastic like the song...chill

[SuperEgo1989]

just making sure mate :D

[muffystjohn86]

lol but in a campy way it does....XD!!!

[chestersgirl131418]

@SuperEgo1989

Yep. They only made weed bad because they didn't want hemp to put paper out of business & because of racism. They bring in that too. but William Randolph Hearst had the biggest part in that because of his newspapers... he didn't want to be run out of business.... read it up if you don't believe that. I'm really Telling The Truth. haha. :] but really.

[SuperEgo1989]

@chestersgirl131418

Weed can have some adverse effects psych testing is showing us that now, longitudial studies are giving evidence towards that, however they didn't have that infomation back then so they were talking out of their ass. but the problems with weed are more long term then the short "HOLYCRAP IM GOING CRAZY!"

[ZobeyFTW]

@SuperEgo1989 Where are you getting this information at? Sounds like YOU are talking out of your ass.

[ladyvader139]

@SuperEgo1989 The only long term effects I've heard about are damage to the lungs from smoke inhalation. That's the reason marijuana's not recommended by doctor's for long term use.

[KatieM101388]

Sally always reminds me of baby from the devils rejects for some reason

[MischievousTwin08]

i LOVE how Mae goes from laughing to serious in, like, .05 seconds. it's great!

[mrlightcarmelmocha]

haha, I did this song for my musical theater final.

[stubbles87]

where did his parents get the flags LOL

[sillymanofGod]

[ancienttoes]

Watch closely at 2:13 when Alan Cumming notices the blood on his hand.

[AveryEmma]

[bobdigital21]

"Our Children teeter on the brink

We need to teach them what to think"

my single favorite line but so many in this song... so true.

[myvoice21]

When danger's near, find their fear.. and exploit it! or something like that

[hollywoodgogo]

When danger's near, exploit the fear.

[omagaredx]

God bless America? lol

[cervantes555]

I resisted the urge to laugh in her face........hahaha

Oh how I love you Alan Cumming. He made the movie for me.

[fallon75]

poor little orphan Annie ;)

[melshaq]

This is the funniest movie ever

[ATStormRider]

Mae's laugh... omg.

[DJWidget]

Wow...I never realized it until now but Uncle Sam is Ralph, Lady Liberty is Sally, and George Washington is Jack. Awesome last bit. :)

[BAS1630]

I *love* the lecturer's last line.

[Volden05]

Truth Truth Truth everybody gotta know!

[thebakerswife]

agreed, this song is a bitch..

[MichaelAKaras]

I've played the lecturer and this was definitely the hardest song to memorize.
