Purpose - Avenue Q

[TheChristianFairy]

I like how the singer's voice really fits the character's age.

[raven21991]

11 people seem to have no flame lite under there ass! They have no purpose appearently.

[raven21991]

@raven21991 lit*

[CaptainMandie]

Man, I've been playing this on repeat for a couple days now as I try to figure out what the -hell- I'm gonna do once I graduate high school in June. >_<"

[StarkidMaddy92]

I quoted this in my Language class today, I'm in eighth grade... no one got it.

[Deibear]

We should take all of my life lessons. and PUSH them into a show.

[presqueislepwnz]

@Deibear Spongebob ftw! (....I got the reference right, right?)

[Deibear]

@presqueislepwnz Yes. One internet for you.

[DJHeroMist]

haha, 10 people dont have purpose XD

[53tgh1]

i feel like princeton, i want a purpose!

[leatherjacket07]

I always sing this song whenever I find a coin with the year I was born...like I did tonight at work.

[Paulipop100]

0:36 xD great!

[bleachdemonx9]

my purpose is to be a hero one way or other

[kateandjaz1]

AMAZINGNESSSSS!!!!

[DJHeroMist]

i found a penny with my birthday does that count? 1992!

[JezabelCumming]

omg I love this Princeton he's cute and can sing!! I love him alot lol

[stephanlmao]

I just love the sax in this song

[53tgh1]

princenton's purpose is 2 pass down everything he knows 2 the new guy at the end of the show!

[andre20041997]

his laugh at the begining sounds like Fry from Futurama

[princessP112]

"my purpose in life is a mystery"!!!!

[spongebobslushpants1]

The Bible says that your purpose in life should be to follow God, teach others about Him, learn about Him, etc...that doesn't necessarily mean that your whole life is just totally devoted to religion or that your life will change for the worse...but it sure does help get me thru the day. Anyone and everyone can have a purpose.

[Liveloveplayad]

@spongebobslushpants1 if you're religious. But hey, I'm glad you've found your purpose :]

[kateandjaz1]

<3 dis song!!!!!!

[MusicAnimeLove31]

I get the feeling he's gonna find his purpose.

[yarnododo]

8 peaple never found a penny ;(

[nicmic42]

a few days ago i found a penny from the year john tartaglia was born and i was freaking out lol

[Jessrocknroll]

8 people never found their purpose. :(

[jardkid1]

search scott bennini or look at the video response for a really good version of me singing this:) please like if u enjoyed it

[meneeryannick]

fack I'ain't made it till the great! that's a difficult one!

[IsThisTourettes]

ive decided im going to keep going on.

wow. i was seriously thinking about bad things.

thank you avenue q. im crying now!

[JakePDiGregorio]

@IsThisTourettes if you really wanna get cheered up, I recommend listening to "For Now" from this same musical. It's amazing.

[purpleronnie987]

Too much love for this song

[4thwatcher777]

I figured out Princeton's purpose! He's meant to be a character in a broadway musical!

[cheeto37]

@4thwatcher777 are you high?? haha get it

[thefairyhell]

6 people haven't found their purpose.

[utubecommentguy]

Does anyone else think it sounds like he's saying "herpes" at the beginning?

[mewingkittycat]

This song wakes me up every morning.

[Xeriachan]

we were talking about purpose in english today and i thought of this song lol.

[ElectricFizzPop]

I really do not like it. Maybe the message is good but.. meh... the "Chipettes" ruined it for me... D; Something happened and I had to stop the fucking song. 

[BonnieBunee]

@ElectricFizzPop It's actually really funny in the musical because like, the boxes behind him and like random inanimate objects are puppets and are his backup singers... guess it's a 'had to be there' thing... :-p

[ElectricFizzPop]

@BonnieBunee :o  hhaha Kaii :3

[nitromenerd]

Jew... JK i love dis song

[purpleballoon2]

looks like 5 people missed the like button!!!

[skadiyoko]

Does anyone else laugh at the backround boxes singing, "would be coooooollll..." after Princeton says "maybe at, a pottery class" ? XD! It gets me every time!

[sk8rtuti]

I think everyone can relate to this.

[SaiGSS]

this song is VERY inspirational

[DevilishAthena]

HAHA to think he had a disney show!!!

[webkinzmotherlover1]

@DevilishAthena What show?

[DevilishAthena]

@webkinzmotherlover1 johnny and the sprites it was a show for babies.

[webkinzmotherlover1]

@DevilishAthena i know wait THAT WAS HIM? OMG big change lol

[SMMR9497]

This song and "There's a fine, fine line." are the only song's in Avenue Q that don't involve any comedy.

[hotlavatube]

I frequently break into song about random objects I find on the street. Trying to get the people on the bus to start a toe-tapping sing-along is harder than it looks. Further research is needed.

[JV6LPequals9LIFE]

holy hell! i didn' t even know this song and it just started playing? youtube is messed up

[FweshCookies]

i sang this at a talent show and i won lol

[princessP112]

lol i love this song

[TwilaLeRouge]

I just feel the need to write this. My English teacher told us to answer 'what is your purpose' so I sat down at my computer ad just kept listening to the song over and over again. I actually think I've figured out my purpose is!! I feel so happy!! And I love the song for it (though I loved it before)

[demoncry108]

Niiiiice.

[THESASUNARU]

so f*^$king talented

[xXxMiaHellsingxXx]

This musical was amazing, its so much more amazing live! My dad even enjoyed it!

[JoeSingsBadly]

@xXxMiaHellsingxXx My parents hated Avenue Q. My sister and I think it's cos they don't know their purpose and they're in their fifties now. Sucks to be them.

[kagome123451]

Well, im fucking 11 you ass. i meant to say that people would know that im not kidding when i say im a musical person you bitch.

[mandamoo12345]

OMG cant believe im actually going to see this in 12 days woooo so excited :] love the songs :)

[Ifileet]

I'm singing this song for an audition I have today for You're A Good Man Charlie Brown.

[kagome123451]

I love the Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba Doo Do Doo Do part. He sounds so damn happy. And I wanna sing this song to my 6th Grade classes.

[schaustniche]

You've never seen this musical, have you? "He sounds so damn happy." I particularly enjoy that you don't want the kids to watch a musical; you just want to take one cutesy element of a piece of literature and expose them. Those who can't do, teach.

I realize it seems odd to call you out on Youtube, but you're supposed to try to educate by being a well-rounded person. Show them the WHOLE musical. Don't just sing the silly upbeat number that says you might find your purpose while smoking pot.

[specialspencer69]

jeez man... can't someone just like the song?

[tyroxification]

hey whats wrong with wanting to sing the song to their class? u dont dont hav 2 b such a dick about it

[DavidRockWright]

both times i used this song for and audition i got either a support lead or a lead soo yeah haha

[jemimajellicle]

Awesom song!

[BroadwayKing15]

Im singing this at the Allen's Got Talent Competition

[KichenPixie]

Tell us how It went :D

[kikyokid]

i like this song this is the first time i heard it i wanna see the live version so bad though -GREAT SONG-

[SuperDan53]

Live version - INSANE

I saw it in London, pure genius

[kikyokid]

No way, lucky, whats it about? i mean ive heard some songs and seen some where they used puppets, did they use puppets or humans?

[SuperDan53]

Both.

A few of the characters are human, three, i think.

The rest are puppets.

But whats clever is the way you see the People speaking for the puppets, as they help porttray the emotion on their faces.

[MrReviewerGuy]

HYES!

[ceol124]

is that a west side story reference at 1:36?

[antggervay]

I think so.

[Sparx1]

I actually heard this song long before seeing west side story, and was surprised at it!

[Solachinx]

I think so, it's word-for-word.

[ryanshecklerzgurl]

more like 1:38 and yes

[jacobflaschen]

I guess, but I have no clue why...

[dovemanofdoves]

yesh.

[SpazzyMcGee1901]

one of my favorite songs of the musical! <3

[coolkg23]

lol...i can't stop singing this song!!!!

it's like stuck in my head!!!!

[sillyjilly679]

ok...i had a phrase from this song stuck in my head all day, but i couldn't remember what song it was from

it finally just like popped into my head and now...im commenting , tell everyone my story

:]

[Broadway241]

this is like the happiest song in the world..

:D

[yourstillagoodperson]

oh look here's a penny!

[ledave01]

[twilight0sylum0forme]

they have such amazing voices! i have to se this! they have such great songs and plot line

[HAMIproductions]

i saw it, I ALMOST PISSED MY PANTS

[twilight0sylum0forme]

lucky! not the peein gur pants part, the seeing it!

[HAMIproductions]

how come u DIDNT see it?

[twilight0sylum0forme]

trying, trying.

[EBKemanon]

Try harder. Sell a kidney if you must (You only need one!). It's a great show.

[MrSinister1979]

Me too - I just saw it last week, and bruised my palms from clapping so much :)

[Speedmetalmessiah666]

My favorite song from Avenue Q

[hannahchick24]

xDDD

i live this Video!

[OhGodIPooed]

a fire under ur ass lmao

[BBeret]

I'd so love to see the musical, but they don't play it here in the Czech Republic... *sigh*

and if they did, it would probably be a not-so-funny translation with not-so-good actors. Why does this show have no DVD version anyway?

[SamuraiGirl02]

Maybe in ten years for an anniversary addition. Avenue Q is fairly recent

[vyking2525]

look its a penny from the year i was born! ITS A SIIIGN!

[uzumaki913]

haha this is my favorite song next to the internet is for porn. at a job or smokin grass. wtf

[funnyguyinthesky]

love this song.

love this play.

[iwillsnipethee]

gotta find my porpoise lmfao!!

[xohcobrunettexo]

i love this musical but mama mia hairspray and wicked are good to

[cranberrystarlet]

i was watching west side story the other day and in who knows there was like "could it be, yes it could somethings coming soemthing good"

THIS IS WHERE I HEARD IT!!

[emopinata12345]

aww, now when i hear purpose i'm gonna burst into song! lol

[Devilsnightforlife]

Haha, I know the feeling! :P

[dancinggirl707]

aw Princeton =)

[RebeletteRose]

Now the word "purpose" sounds weird to me.

[dreyabird]

im going to get all my friends togather go out in the middle of frys and and randomly just start singing and dancing to this song

[brittanycullenx]

I just saw this musical today. I absolutely loved it :)

[gags24601]

I'm seeing it next week even though I am 15 but I saw the show on video google so I can't wait! Love this song!

[marissa199456]

Damn, I wish my dad would take me to see it but he says I'm too young(I'm 14). And he's the reason I ever even heard of Avenue Q! -.-

[happywagongal]

i pretty much lied to my parents about everything in2 the show and once we got to the theatre i told em there was puppet sex lol. they flipped out, but they were pretty cool about.

[marissa199456]

lol I can't do that cuz my dad knows there's puppet sex in it and that's exactly why I can't see it XD

[happywagongal]

haha tht stinx. it's a great show, and i'm sure it is going to be around for a while so this is just one of those times where you are going to 2 wait 2 grow up 2 c it. in the mean time check out Rent if u r in2 musicals. it's an awesome show and the movie is pg-13. if you just like avenue Q 4 the comedy though, i reccomend maybe spamalot. :):):)

[marissa199456]

I already saw Spamalot last time I went to New York but I've heard good things about Rent so I might check that out :)

[jonaslover0267]

RENT ISH AMAZING IT'S LIKE MY FAVORITE MUSICAL/MOVIE EVVVEEERRR YOU DEFINATELY NEED TO WATCH IT. Oh and Wicked is good to.

[marissa199456]

OMG! I LOVE Wicked! Best musical EVER!

[Emblepop]

RENT IS AMAZING

bring the hankies though :(

[ChantalKatherineShow]

I wanted to go but I have plans the whole time its in town :(

[CraziixLuvrxD]

that suckss i'm going to see it but i didnt tell my parents that it was graphic or anything i just said it was hilarious and prob the best musical ever so once we see it i'm probably going to be grounded for life so you should find yourself kind of luckyy xD

[emopinata12345]

i know! my dad wouldn't take me (i'm 13) but my grandparents took me. they thought it was hilarious! I sing the songs all the time whe i'm w/ them, and it became an inside joke my parents don't know about. lol

[kajunn123]

ive bin and im only 13

its awesome

[momohonda924]

LUCKY! ha ha! I'm also 13.... and i bet that neither my parents nor my grandparents would take me.... Y.Y

[12rawr24]

lol my parents WOULD take me but thats because they don't know what the musical is about haha but i showed dad the song "if you were gay" and he was like "WANNA SEE THIS BROADWAY??" and i was like "SURE!!" but he forgot about it lol

but some person posted the whole broadway on youtube and i saw it;; it's pretty awesome :D

[piratelordlilah]
