Shrek the Musical - Freak Flag

[MsFiyero]

I LOVE this song!! <3

[juliadennehy]

Did we really need Wreck the Musical? Ugh.

[ShakaRakaNah]

@juliadennehy Hey, don't knock it 'til you've given it a fair chance. There're a lot of people who liked it better than the movie. As long as you go into it with an open mind, lay back and have fun with it's silliness, and remember to let it be it's own thing separate from the movie, you might be surprised. :)

And even if you still don't like it, then at least hear from the other side of the argument before deeming it worthless. (I got another StM vid for you to judge. ;) )

[gingachick14]

@ShakaRakaNah Agreed! Especially with the open mind bit. I saw it in London a week ago and thought that it was AMAZING. :)

[infantryboys730]

@juliadennehy I guess you don't like to let your freak flag fly...

[mameloot]

@juliadennehy I'm not a huge fans of movies made to musicals either, IF they are only done as cheap rip offs. Shrek isn't a perfect musical, but some of it is really good, mostly the new stuff not copied from the movie.

In any case, I'd rather have Shrek the Musical than 90% of the junk on YouTube.

[TheBlahBlahNews]

It's a good song...but it doesn't compare to La Vie Boheme, Raise Your Voice or even Find Your Grail....

[MrSamJarrett]

This wasn't in the show :'(

[ToDallasFromBoston]

um...dont know what to think

[DisturbedsAsylum666]

[artist2748]

5 ppl dont hav freak flags XD

[dania451000]

Humpty Dumpty is a girl they should get a boy to play him

[ShakaRakaNah]

@dania451000

1.) If you mean played by an actor in costume, then need I remind you that he's a freaking cookie? Even played by a puppet, he's big as it is.

2.) The original Humpty Dumpty riddle/rhyme does not refer to Humpty as "he" or "she".

[xtthew]

@ShakaRakaNah

In the original Humpty Dumpty, they never mention the word "egg" once either haha

[ShakaRakaNah]

@xtthew Because it had been a riddle to guess what Humpty Dumpty was, and "an egg" was the answer. 

[dania451000]

Y couldn't they get a person to play the gingerbread man instead they made a puppet that looks like him

[artist2748]

@dania451000 cuz gingy is a foot tall. no one is a foot tall.

[Aaronwiles]

WTF WTF WTF ?

[artist2748]

@Aaronwiles u hav a prob with this song! >:(

[thornbonez]

WTF

[Lilypad443]

wow. the gingerbread man is a girl :o

[artist2748]

i love how in the begining pinocchio looks so bord!

[pouncivalfan1321]

Thumbs up if you think that the Ulgly Duckling looks like a mime!

[jinx724]

so FREAK FLAG okay i'll go tell that to my mom. "Mom i'm going to let my freak flag fly." i got slapped what just happened?

[artist2748]

@jinx724 i.........dont.......know.....­

[TheStacia6195]

[artist2748]

@TheStacia6195 me too :)

[artist2748]

[artist2748]

[StephLikeWoahh]

tht chick's talented. XD

[KatieStalvatore13]

I love this song <3 makes me proud to be a freak!!!!

[potentialpenguin]

i'm strangely intrigued by the egg's facial tics

[1194magneto]

SHREK IS COMING TO FORT WORTH! boo ya!

[Comixbear1]

I don't know why, but everytime I look at Pinocchio in this thing I keep thinking of Pee Wee Herman!!

[artist2748]

@Comixbear1 ok whos that and y does he make u think of him?

[Comixbear1]

@artist2748 : Google Pee Wee. He's a famous tv and movie character. He looks like him.

[artist2748]

@Comixbear1 is it inapropriate? sorry just gotta know

[Comixbear1]

@artist2748 : The character isn't, and had a kids show for years. you can surely find him on youtube. (the actor has had bad times, arrested for pleasuring himself in a porno theater years ago, but you won't find THAT on youtube.

[artist2748]

@Comixbear1 ok i looked him up. he looks NOTHING like pinocchio. but he looks JUST like my history teacher. omg

[Emimi33able]

Does Peter Pan have anything to say in this musical?

[ShakaRakaNah]

@Emimi33able

Elf: "I really thought that ogre was gonna help us."

Peter: "Well, he still might! Maybe if we all close our eyes and clap really hard--!"

Pinocchio: "Oh, grow up."

Peter: "I WON'T grow up!"

Pinocchio: "YOU'RE THIRTY-FOUR AND NEED A SHAVE!!"

Peter: D8

[Emimi33able]

@ShakaRakaNah

Ah ok,Is there a clip of that?

[ShakaRakaNah]

@Emimi33able Search "shrek musical freak flag" and see jamtojake's video of this number; it starts off with that skit.

[Emimi33able]

@ShakaRakaNah

Thanks!

[Emimi33able]

I love the elf, she's cute!

"Its time I told the world, I'm a scientologist!"

[artist2748]

@Emimi33able thats probably y pinocchio loves her so much. :)

[melandgabsawsomepage]

[luvely57]

Is it weird that this song inspires me...?

[Frankinsense0012]

Four people missed the like button :P

[remocleo]

this show is coming to my town in september

[LadyOndyne]

John Tartaglia is amazing!! The best Pinocchio ever XDXD

[artist2748]

@LadyOndyne ikr! the one for the us tour scares me a little lol

[TheHaxman999]

i don't like the gingerbread voice O_o

[desireeandothers]

John Tartaglia was great in this:)

[MellovesKarieAnn]

is it really wrong that the guy with the blue hair i find extremely sexy...?

[jc2328]

@MellovesKarieAnn thats peter pan!!!:)

[MellovesKarieAnn]

@jc2328 i just recently discovered that... sad that i didn't know that considering i've seen this musical before, hahahah.

[sidneywhitted1031]

@56musical GET OUT. I WOULD KILL TO SEE BOTHG OF THOSE SHOWS. Im kinda obsessed with Shrek the Musical. Anything about it or related to it. <3

[thevelvetknight]

goddamn this vid is soo good. I loves it. Where can i buy tikets? (lil drunk).

[123malichi]

@thevelvetknight The London West End!:-}

[sidneywhitted1031]

Omg, I love how beastly Pinocchio's voice is. He's so amazing and I love how he has such an epic belting voice! <3

[artist2748]

@sidneywhitted1031 beastly?

[ProdigyStepper]

in the version i saw the moma bear was gingie

[mad4vibe]

Love it! Shrek the Musical is now playing at the West End in England - went to see it Yesterday! Was soooo good. This was my fav song of the night - though they changed it a lil - at the end of the song they waved a red pinocchio flag - like they do in les miserables! was really good!

[Mackieb810]

Is that Peter Pan at 2:19? I can't wait, Shrek is coming to the local theatre in the end of January, I am SO going (as long as my mom buys tickets) :)

[jinx724]

the wolf is gay....... i love it

[ShakaRakaNah]

@jinx724 That's funny; studies of crossdressers generally say that a big majority of crossdressers are straight. Or the wolf could be in the minority; who knows for sure, right? ^_^

[MrEdwinJohnson]

@ShakaRakaNah You have to remember that this is a Broadway show and the don't really care that much for statistics. I have no idea if your stat is right but I'm fairly sure they were trying to make him gay.

[WetCoyote]

@ShakaRakaNah

THats true, i think 90 percent of them are straight or somewhere in that percentage. Im in the other percent. 8-)

[ShadowDJ94]

@ShakaRakaNah He dressed in that outfit to trick a girl so he could scare her and he can get her basket of food. That's my guess, since in this francise, Wolf is a good guy.

[PrincessMedia2011]

I'm an outsider, but I will always let my freak flag fly!

[PrincessMedia2011]

Why is gingy played by a girl? that always bugged me.

[ShakaRakaNah]

@PrincessMedia2011 Women have voiced male characters with high voices for years; it's no big deal. 

[ShnizelShow]

@ShakaRakaNah but she sounds like a girl and kinda fails at gingys voice

[artist2748]

@ShakaRakaNah yea! and men hav played charatures with high voices too! (pinocchio)

[jkrfan7]

i remeber seeing this and think that mama bear is such a small part and this song comes up and she just BURSTS out and im like whoa

[Soccerooss]

what is peter pan's story in the musical who does he hook up with?

[xxMBSxx]

this sounds sooooo much like raise your voice from sister act the musical!!! just listen to both and you will see what i mean!!!

[hobofurio101]

im doing a dance to this song and im tinkerbelle and my best friend is peter pan and this is the first time ive ever seen this video.....impressive

[nicmic42]

i cant believe i might be taking puppet classes with the guy playing pinnocio here. he seems so crazy!(crazies=my people) lol THIS should be interesting HA HA

[KarmaIsMyAlterEgo]

@nicmic42 you serious?! You're taking puppet classes from John friggin Tartaglia?! That man is the most amazing, most talented, most beautiful actor/singer/dancer/puppeteer on the whole damn planet!!! Not to mention he's absolutely adorable ^_^ Needless to say I'm jealous =P but seriously, good for you!

[nicmic42]

@KarmaIsMyAlterEgo Yea im pretty sure I am lol thanks I'll be sure to tell him all that. XD

[BlackSistaLove2]

[spikgame]

Such a great musical.

[xXsuperhuntieXx]

[JeremyBeloate]

I love this song

[saztheatheist]

Keep pressing 2:37

[saztheatheist]

We can stand up to Fuckwad :p

[ShakaRakaNah]

@ShrektheMusicaLover What makes you think they did? O.o

[ProdigyStepper]

@ShakaRakaNah didn't the acotors decided to make a little side story about that?

[Red41658]

love the blue hair!

[TheCarol1022]

For the national tour, Gingy was being guided by Mama Bear.

[kelleyrayanne]

i went to see this in my discovery trip i love this song!!

[mozartlover123]

@ rawshaark wasn't she in legally blonde?

[rawshaark]

@mozartlover123 Yes I think :)

[rawshaark]

I really hope they release this on DVD eventually, I know professional footage exists of the (I presume) entire show. Maybe when the national tour is over. I just hope it's live singing instead of a dub (like this). Really wish I'd seen it with the OBC in NY!

[mozartlover123]

who is that girl singing for the ginger bread man?? she was killin it!!

[rawshaark]

@mozartlover123 Haven Burton I believe. And if I'm not mistaken, she's playing Fiona in the US national tour, she's amazing

[artist2748]

@rawshaark no she was fiona understudy for the obc. i forget the name of fiona for the tour

[mozartlover123]

who is that girl singing for the ginger bread man?? she was killin it!!

[grizzabella101]

humpdy dumdy scares me, I<3 piocio!

[grizzabella101]

humpdy dumdy scares me, I<3 PINOCCIO!

[lovermoose345]

i love this song i saw th show it was awesome

[HAULholic]

john tartaglia is freakin' amazing.... just saying :)

[JSisDANCE]

@vbjrp i saw it last night too and i definitely like the wicked reference that lord farquaad made haha

[vbjrp]

Saw this show last night. In this song during the last chorus, they added a guy waving a flag (like in Les Miz) with a picture of pinnochio, but looked like the waif from Les Miz). It was pretty funny. I loved all the references to other Broadway shows.

[LadyOndyne]

@vbjrp Yes!!I have the photo of it!!! And also in What's up Duloc? once they do something in honor of Wicked with Defying Gravity!!!

[artist2748]

@vbjrp lol pino is on the flag. HE IS THE KING! (of comedy)

[3winch]

they should so do this on Glee!!!!....

[StormKraized]

gay

[HannahsCandyMelody]

omg im doing this musical in my school!!!!

[slickqfoo22]

@HannahsCandyMelody How is that even possible? The show is still touring and on broadway, and the rights aren't even released. I can understand if you got the sheet music to a few of the songs or you're doing this song in a performance or talent show, but there is no possibly way you have the rights to do this show let alone a school doing it.

[TheatreFan4]

@slickqfoo22 @HannahsCandyMelody Easily, not legally. lol

[askeung87]

good inspirational song even though it's coming from a comedic musical.

[katrinka06]

So, does the fairy who dances in the middle of the song look like the fairy godmother from Shrek 2 to anybody else??

[artist2748]

@katrinka06 yea i think so to. the fairy godmother is my dance teacher (for a camp i took :P) I LOVE U DANETTE HOLDEN!!

[milwanevidencee]

does anyone else piss themselves at the wolf part?

[Jessrocknroll]

Can someone send me the lyrics to this song?

[BlueRowan]

I LOVE JOHNNYS DANCE :D

[gluedhand]

@BlueRowan I think alot of people wish they could do that dance as awesomely

[artist2748]

@BlueRowan what at the end were everyone was doin there own thing yelling FLY!!

[gluedhand]

IM SEEING THIS IN JANUARY!

[crayon13c]

I think the first place I saw this was on the Happily Never After video... But I'm not sure. It was on SOME DVD along with "I Know It's Today" --- Buut I totally forgot about it until I just read the words "Freak Flag Fly" in an article about lady Gaga! I love this song sooooooo much!

[artist2748]

@crayon13c the movie was monsters vs aleins. good movie to hav this song on cuz the movie is just about being a freak and being urself.

[missfantasygirl12]

I saw John T. from Avenue Q, and once I saw this and looked up more of the musical, I screamed "OH MY GOD! PRINCETON'S PINOCCHIO!" XD lol I'm such a loser.

[gluedhand]

Can I marry Johnny as pinocchio?

[artist2748]

@gluedhand hes dating elf. sorry hes taken :P
