Neil's Turn - 12

The twelth track of Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog's Commentary: The Musical, Neil's Turn. Sung by Neil Patrick Harris.

Lyrics:

Neil:

Have they all gone?
Yes! It's Neil's turn,
No more writers to whine,
Now the whole show is mine!
No more Nathan,
With his bean dip!
Say goodnight, Frankenstein,
'Cause it's my turn to shine!

I can do all of their jobs!
I can just play with these knobs!
And I'll sound fine...!

It's a one-man,
Like Hal Holbrook!
Like that showcase for Liza,
It's "Neil with an 'i'",
Hey, Felicia,
You were great, kid.
But you just had to die,
'Cause there's no 'team' in 'I'

I'll sing my own harmonies,
I'll go as low as I please.
Or I'll go high...

Welcome, everybody, to my commentary,
I've got so much talent, it's a little scary,
Is my every random thought insightful?
Very!
Not just entertaining, I'm a luminary...

I'll charm the chicks -
("Are those things real? Ha!")
Do magic tricks
("Was it the 3 of Clubs? Ho!")
Lay down some tap
And I can rap --

My name is Neil
and I'm here to say
Wakka-chukka-po
Wakka-poo--- Pbbth!

--No, I can't rap,
That was painful.
Let's move on to the part where I talk about art.
Look at that shot! We used cameras.
There's a boom guy in frame,
He was great,
What's-his-name...

What was his name...? What should I say...? The choices are endless!
And here I am, at last, alone and... friendless!
...No, I'm not friendless!
I've got some friends!
They'll be here when this ends!
IF this ends...!
What do I say?!
What does this switch do?!
It turns off the lights!
Now it's dark and I'm lost and alone...
And what's with all these chords?!?
What's with all these weird chords?!?

Somebody help!
Somebody say "Cut!" Somebody say "Action!" Somebody say something!
I'm so afraid,
Somebody say "Cut!"
I'm so alone...!

He just sounds so helpless and huggable when he says "Somebody help..!"

And I personally think NPH has an AMAZING voice and range.. I mean, listen to him in 'Commentary'!

"Commentar-Y!~"

He's 20 years older than me, so it's not a crush or anything, (besides, he's gay), but I still love the guy <3

[BadassParadox]

"I'll charm the chicks -- are those things real? Ha!" Total Barney moment xD

And "I can rap: My name is Neil and I'm here to say -- wakkachikkabo -- no I can't rap... that was painful" Haha :L

[rfresa]

What's with all these weird chords? lol

[oOAshleyFanOo]

I was laughing my ass off when he started rapping :D

[AllMixedUp312]

i'm really surprised how well commentary the musical was done. when i heard there could be a sequel to dr. horrible i was like "crap, they're gonna make the sequel suckkk" but this is AWESOME, which gives me hope:) and HAHAHA @ NO I CANT RAP THAT WAS PAINFUL:D

[dfkjlsafds]

when he sang high i passed out a little

[Double2Edged]

@NK1237486 Yeah, I know, I realised that a while after I posted it. *headdesk* It just sounded a lot to me like references... though I can still pretend to believe that Dr Horrible built a Time Machine... Ray? Right?

[NK1237486]

@Double2Edged This commentary was made in 2008. I know NPH is awesome but I don't think he can see into the future to reference things he hasn't done yet.

[Double2Edged]

So many references to his Tony hosting gig. Like the line "Are those things real?" was a line from his opening number. And he rapped for the closing number. XD

[AlecZacJustinwWife]

The evil laugh before he started singing. Legen-wait for it mwahahahah-dary!

[NikoNoniDK]

I'll charm the chicks - Are those thing real? Ha!

Do magic tricks - Was it... Three of clubs? Hoh!

Total Barney Stinson!!! XD

[Lupin788]

@JaimeLYNN225 ... Why should it be awkward? You HAVE seen his character Barney Stinson in "How I Met Your Mother", right? :)
