Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Cast - Gratuitous Karaoke Moment Lyrics






[MAYA:]
I usually hate singing in public

[NATHANIEL:]
Yeah, I can't believe I'm holding a mike

[MAYA:]
Relatably
We're both off-key

[NATHANIEL:]
But it's the part of the film that everyone likes

[NATHANIEL AND MAYA:]
It's our gratuitous karaoke moment
We sound really bad, but look! We're starting to sway
Gratuitous karaoke moment
Ooh, how 'bout we flirt in a performative way?

[NATHANIEL:]
The camerawork gets better
As we get into the swing

[MAYA:]
It's makes no sense
But we're gaining confidence

[NATHANIEL AND MAYA:]
As if it's unnecessary that we sing

In this gratuitous karaoke moment
Our chemistry is better with every chord
Gratuitous karaoke moment

[MAYA:]
The crowd was annoyed

[NATHANIEL:]
But now they're getting on board

[NATHANIEL AND MAYA:]
And now there's this section
Where the song gets quiet
And you hear all the glasses clinking in the room
We take each other in and forget where we are
Until we awkwardly remember that we're onstage in a bar
Oh, right!

In this gratuitous karaoke moment
Somehow we are both doing this move
Gratuitous karaoke moment
Sadly, this film does not improve

After this gratuitous karaoke moment

[NATHANIEL:]
In 10 years, you realize this scene does not hold up

[MAYA:]
But you'll still sing this song at karaoke

[NATHANIEL AND MAYA:]
And no one will care because no one actually likes watching other people sing

  1. m.... n....

    Can someone please make a kareoke version of this? I need to sing this song at my school.

  2. M.... ....

    For some reason, Nathaniel holding the mic upside down and only realizing it 10 seconds into the song had me CACKLING

  3. v.... ....

    I know this is all just a fantasy, but it kinda bothers me how Greg is portrayed.

    Nathaniel KNOWS Greg, and knows Greg isn't a romcom asshole. Just didn't work for me.

  4. B.... R....

    Nathaniel is the only one who genuinely loved her and no one can change my mind.

  5. S.... L....

    I’m my mind Rebecca ended up with Nathanial 😋

    S.... L....

    Lmao same, still fantasize about it

  6. A.... t....

    The fact that this is all in his head is so confusing and so brilliant at the same time

  7. A.... N....

    “You’ll realize this song wouldnt hold up, but you’ll still sing this song in karaoke” HAHHAHAHA so true!

  8. A.... T....

    The ONLY thing keeping Crazy Ex Girlfriend from being ABSOLUTE PERFECTION is that Esther never got her solo song... 😥

  9. C.... ....

    this episode made me cry for someone white male and straigh dammit you horrible brilliant people !

  10. x.... X....

    Their so adorable ♥️♥️

  11. T.... L....

    OKAY BUT WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT ESTHER UGH PRECIOUS LITTLE BEAN I LOVE HER AND I MISS THIS SHOW TERRIBLY

  12. W.... J....

    Only CXG can point out everything wrong about romcom using a romcom episode.

  13. M.... W....

    Its unreal how hot I find it when Nathaniel starts singing badly

  14. t.... ....

    Inspired. So true!

  15. S.... ....

    "in ten years you realize this scene doesn't hold up." Well now I have to come back to this video in ten years

  16. A.... p....

    I strangely enjoyed their chemistry though 😭

    A.... p....

    Same actually. I know what it is! It is the height difference.

  17. C.... p....

    I like Maya so much

  18. S.... T....

    I want an instrumental of this so bad now

  19. A.... ....

    this entire episode was a fake dating au

  20. T.... C....

    What's funny is soon after I watched this episode I saw the movie Isn't It Romantic and in it there was a karaoke scene where she starts off bad, then gets better as it goes along. This song was all I was thinking of the entire time it was going on.

    T.... C....

    Turnip Crazy omg i was thinking of the same too!

  21. C.... ....

    sadly this movie will not improve after this 🤣

    C.... ....

    I object to that statement. "Keep Your Head In The Game" and the song in the finale were better than the opening song.

    C.... ....

    Arunima Tiwari it is part of the song... 🤣🤣

    C.... ....

    @CMP Oh no! I got that. I was, you know, just saying.

    C.... ....

    Arunima Tiwari ahh ok... I agree with you!!

  22. S.... J....

    I kinda want to sing this song at karaoke.

  23. R.... Y....

    best episode from season 4, It made me cry soooo hard!

  24. A.... M....

    I think they used parts of Season 4's theme song in the melody.

  25. s.... ....

    Nathaya!!

  26. M.... L....

    “And somehow we’re both doing this move”

    I died

  27. B.... L....

    I remember when Nathaniel was the new guy everyone hated but he just might be my favorite character now.

    B.... L....

    i liked when he was just starting off. i don't think his character is very consistently shown, almost like a replacement for lack of greg

    B.... L....

    1. Greg
    2. Nathaniel
    3. Trent

  28. T.... A....

    I got so freaking attached to Nathaniel, can't even explain it. He's just... loveable.

    T.... A....

    yeah! Scott did such a great job, I wasn't very enthusiastic about him but now he's my favorite character of the show <3

  29. J.... F....

    I love how when it switches back to reality the first conversation Mia and Nathaniel have points out how inappropriate this relationship would actually be if the show pursued it

    J.... F....

    When they're looking for their exes you mean?

    J.... F....

    @Blossom Saturnalia when he tells her she deserves better

  30. a.... ....

    nathaniel is still trying to be better person and i think he should end up with maya. one of rebecca's main problems is the irrational need to be in a relationship (right?) so please let her be single in the end

  31. J.... D....

    Okay! I’m Marcy!

  32. K.... H....

    Who else was so emotional when Nathaniel was crying to the pizza guy? 😭😭

  33. M.... T....

    This is your best episode ever!! You guys were so clever in writing this and you should be proud of yourselves ❤❤

  34. P.... C....

    Is it just me or does Maya remind you of Jenny Nicholson?

    P.... C....

    I knew she reminded me of someone oh my god!!!

    P.... C....

    Omg yes !

    P.... C....

    Yup! I love both women.

    P.... C....

    I thought of that exact same thing when I was watching this episode!

    P.... C....

    Thought the same thing

  35. B.... A....

    This season is so underwhelming, it makes me sad it's the last and they're not gonna be able to fix it. And that whole episode was an unnecessary and forced cringe-fest.
    (Love the song though)

  36. B.... L....

    BEST. episode. EVER.

  37. T.... K....

    Rebecca whos ur hero? I'm just so confused

  38. J.... R....

    I love this show!

  39. T.... G....

    Our chemistry is better with Fe

  40. I.... A....

    Best episode of the season yet!

  41. h.... r....

    Rachel, Aline, I adore the show and I'll probably be humming and quoting things from the show till the day I die but if we got a cerulean sweater in this episode where's the green and bronze combo that Tim should be wearing when he delivers the manuscript? Is at the very least that suit a Calvin Klein license? I need answers!! 🕵️

  42. j.... ....

    Rebecca's hair in this... I CAN'T.

  43. A.... ....

    This episode was so good !

  44. �.... V....

    Start of something new. By that I mean a new ship. Pls. ♥

  45. E.... S....

    Best episode of crazy ex girlfriend wow.

  46. B.... ....

    "Ok! I'm Marcy!" became ridiculously funny once I got the joke (Before the romcom fantasy, Maya mocks Marcy for supposedly having a high voice and says "I'm Marcy!")

  47. R.... C....

    My life is complete, a CXG song about karaoke, off-key even!

  48. 1.... ....

    This episode fucked up my emotions and I'm sad but also PLEASE HURT ME MORE

  49. J.... S....

    You’re not supposed to ship them. SHE IS REBECCA

  50. E.... G....

    OMG they selected the worst of the worst rom coms to make this parody episode 😂😂😂😂

  51. k.... ....

    i think this is my favorite episode. it mocks every rom com. i love the use of annoying cliche's for comedy purposes.

    f o o t b a l l

  52. R.... H....

    My favourite ever episode!

  53. r.... ....

    Took me a moment to realize that's Maya. I also keep forgetting what Greg looks like now and got confused...

  54. C.... L....

    You can just say High School Musical

  55. B.... W....

    Okay. The start of something new definitely holds up don't be crusty.

  56. N.... B....

    To be honest, I’m kind of disappointed with this season. There’s not enough songs like the previous seasons and I just feel like the characters’ story lines aren’t really that good. That being said, the last three episodes are good, especially this one. I just hope the finale will be worth it :)

    N.... B....

    Same here! The songs are not as inspiring anymore, and you feel the real story is over... I hope there are some great episodes left, it still is the best TV series ever!

    N.... B....

    Yes, I'm under the same impression! But although I love this song, I just hated that episode. It felt cringy, forced and out of context, like they had really ran out of ideas...

    N.... B....

    I know people hate Josh and I'm not saying Rebecca should end up with him or anything, but season 1's whole Josh chase really gave the crew real direction to go with the plot and characters. Now, that it's about Rebecca's recovery and closing out loose ends, the strainds seem a bit messier. However, I think this season has been stronger than the last half of season 3.

    N.... B....

    Noga Boneh, I think it’s because Rebeca is getting better so she doesn’t dose off as much as she used to. That’s why there’s less songs.

    N.... B....

    @Bela Almeida I disagree, I thought this was one of their best episodes of the season! It was so funny and really heartfelt and nice to see a storyline like this

  57. D.... B....

    No no no nooooooo Nathaniel :( I know he deserves to be happy. But bex your stupid

  58. A.... P....

    I love Marcy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  59. K.... ....

    This is parodying "High School Musical" and I'm about to do a spit take! 😂😂😂😂😂

  60. J.... A....

    Do we get any explicit songs this season. Kinda sad that it seems like the show got cut out at the knees in production budget this season.

  61. c.... ....

    this episode was genius (as always) but you can't trick me into shipping nat and maya nat and rebecca are too precious

  62. N.... F....

    I greatly enjoyed this episode and I loved that Maya finally got her moment to shine.

  63. P.... G....

    I want this to be my ringtone.

  64. S.... R....

    Think there was only one song cause this is Nathaniels fanatasies not rebeccas

  65. G.... ....

    I love the use of Maya's dress (which is the same one Rebecca has in S1 promos) to foreshadow that in Nathaniel's mind, she's was always Rebecca.

    G.... ....

    wow that never crossed my mind?? thank you for pointing that out

    G.... ....

    There was a post on tumblr about the costumes on cxgf. When nathaniel and rebecca were together they both wore something purple/magenta. When rebecca left nathaniel she stopped wearing magenta.
    Also nathaniel told maya that she looks good in magenta, which is a slight nod to the fact that he sees her as Rebecca.

    G.... ....

    @this charming woman do u have the link please?

    G.... ....

    @Malu Souza Henrique Ok I finally found it:
    http://notbang.tumblr.com/post/182319607229/my-inner-costume-designer-is-having-a-moment

    G.... ....

    @this charming woman thank u so much♥️♥️♥️

  66. S.... T....

    Does anyone else think this sounds just like Child Star?

  67. a.... a....

    Nathanial looks so sad 😭

  68. �.... �....

    That was nice, but... seriously, one song? In a romcom au? So many missed opportunities!

    �.... �....

    But they're quirky dorky people, they can't know how to sing. It's the rule.

    �.... �....

    @Laureen Berger Yeah, but in the end they should magically learn how to sing. They don't even have to sing themselves. There could be imaginary duets with their love interests, there could be Rebecca and Joanne narcissistically singing something like "I'm so good at yoga", there could be a ridiculously villainous Bert's song...

    �.... �....

    Oh I'm sold on the ridiculously villainous Bert's song. Tim/Bert 's devil wears Prada story arc was absolutely everything they could have made a short song out of it.

    I think a duets dream sequences would have been probably too much since the whole plot is already Nathaniel's dream sequences. And I'm not sure giving Rebecca and Joanne a song would have make that much sense. Remember that it's a romcom. Nathaniel and Maya are supposed to bound and end up together not with their ex-girlfriend. It's most likely than in a romcom with that tro the ex-gilfriend would be completely insignificant with no backstories or character. Maybe they wouldn't even have a name and be titled "ex girlfriend 1" and "ex-girlfriend 2" in the credits.

    Not sure it would have fit the genre that much.

  69. T.... Y....

    Oh, that's already one of my favorites! So good!

  70. C.... ....

    During the late night work session montage was the background music hummed by Rachel? I've been sold on skyler as Greg. But im now sold on Skyler playing douche boyfriends more often. It was Adam Scott Level Dochey boyfriend good.

    C.... ....

    I agree his douchey boyfriend is so fucking good. His deliveries were simply perfect and he mastered nicely the "I'm confident and chill but also really mean and rude without really noticing". 10/10 would enjoy watching him play a douchebag again.

  71. D.... A....

    This episode was fucking perfect. I swear, every Crazy-Ex Girlfriend episode I watch becomes my new favorite.

    D.... A....

    I know, but it was so sad!

  72. H.... ....

    Melody reminds me of I Want To Be A Child Star

    H.... ....

    I hear it..

    H.... ....

    Totally

  73. A.... ....

    this episode gave me SO MANY emotions and i'm still so confused and I don't know what I want

  74. G.... S....

    Loving the Sonny Crockett look on Greg. Anyway, one of the funniest episodes of the show.

  75. L.... B....

    Sad it only had one song, but this was the BEST EPISODE OF THE SHOW, so genius and clever. Rachel and Aline, u are something else, so sad this show is ending without ppl realizing how good it is (but time will show them)

    L.... B....

    I loved everything so much from this episode. From the Tim devil wears prada's arc, to Maya's random quote "I never had a real mom just a dead mom" in the funny montage, the double blankets moment or how both Paula and Jim have absolutely no other characteristic than bringing essential random information for the plot.

    There's so many incredible details, jokes and satire in one episode. It was so amazing and inventive.

    L.... B....

    Laureen Berger. Yes! So many tropes called out!! I also love that Marcy says “I’m Marcy” because that’s really all the depth that type of character would get in a rom com.

    L.... B....

    best episode of the show ? Oh please never. It had much better

  76. c.... i....

    List of movies with gratuitous karaoke moments:

    500 Days of Summer
    Lost In Translation
    When Harry Met Sally
    My Bestfriend's Wedding
    27 Dresses

    c.... i....

    HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL

    c.... i....

    HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL

    c.... i....

    High school musical

    c.... i....

    To be fair, My Bestfriend's Wedding was largely making fun of romantic comedies while also being a really good one.

    c.... i....

    How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days has one too

  77. Z.... C....

    Damn Nathaniel’s sooooo hot

  78. J.... T....

    2:17 me when I saw the name Esther Povitsky in the title

  79. m.... ....

    I love how this show has such a great message and advocacy, but it’s also a parody of all the movies and musicals and songs we know!!! i dont ship nathaniel and maya though. :(

    m.... ....

    menopauls the biggest being the movie that put Aline on the map.

    m.... ....

    Jack Alope yes!! Two movies actually. 27 Dresses and the Devil Wears Prada

  80. H.... ....

    Rebecca is happy with Greg, im glad.

    H.... ....

    If she was happy, the show would be over

  81. L.... ....

    ...living in my own wooorld

  82. �.... �....

    Omg Mya looks so sexy!

  83. Z.... ....

    What about Paula’s dad though

  84. K.... W....

    I use to like Rebecca because she seems innocent with the whole trauma backgroujd but now she is using it as an advantage to make people sorry and the more the story goes on, her character felt more cringy like we know you have a disorder but cmon it has been 4 seasons and she is making people miserable around her. What im saying is, i have no more sympathy for Rebecca:(

    K.... W....

    lil spoiler but this whole episode didn't happen, don't worry

    K.... W....

    She's trying to change, that's the point of season 4. Emphasis on trying, at least she's less worse now when you compare her from before. If you said that last season, then yeah that was exactly what she did. But now, nope.

    K.... W....

    @LR31O Yes i know it was all a dream but I wish she could get better quickly because the show is kinda lacking ideas and repeats the same one from previous seasons including the song.

  85. K.... W....

    I SHIP MAYA AND NATHANIEL!! I used to ship rebecca with him but now i think she should just be with Greg. Btw Maya is so pretty in that dress:)

  86. C.... P....

    I love it when they break the fourth wall

  87. S.... T....

    Only one song in this episode and no Deborah? Plus it’s a dream episode?
    I’m really sad

  88. M.... _....

    This is one of the freaking funniest songs this season.

  89. R.... ....

    It must be pretty hard to sing off-key when you can actually sing. Bunchton <3!!!!

    R.... ....

    Yeah, that's what I was wondering

    R.... ....

    It’s actually not, you just have to have somewhat decent vocal control

  90. L.... L....

    this ep better be on uk netflix asap

  91. A.... M....

    I’ve never been more confused

  92. N.... ....

    I was sad for nathaniel at first and really didn't want this to happen when I saw the promo last week...but then I see this now and i ship it???

  93. V.... R....

    Ok just let Nathaniel be happy with Mya and not have Rebecca ruin things with them and her and Greg there isn't that much time left in the show for her to completely mess things up then fix them and if her and Nathaniel were end game there was zero point in bringing back and recasting Greg.

    V.... R....

    I mean the fans wanted Greg back really bad so maybe they brought him back just to prove they weren't meant to be together maybe...? Maybe Rebecca is meant to end up with Nate?

    V.... R....

    Rebecca: Hold my beer

    V.... R....

    @Christine ø There's no "meant to be with"...That's the whole point of the show. It's about the growth of different characters (especially Rebecca). It doesn't matter who she ends up with or even if she ends up with someone.

  94. S.... H....

    Noo, why is she back with Greg and just using him again! o_O (can't watch the episode over here in Europe, just depending on the snippets Rachel puts out online)

    S.... H....

    See Hear this is a fantasy, she’s not using him

    S.... H....

    Oh, I'm glad :)

    S.... H....

    See Hear, download the CW app and HotspotVPN shield and you’ll be able to see the new episodes

  95. S.... T....

    I’m always surprised by what type/genre of song they find

  96. B.... H....

    Nathaniel is super hot

  97. M.... ....

    This was everything I have ever loved about High School musical except Ryan and Chad are women *cries* also omfg who is Marcy I already love to hate her

  98. v.... ....

    Omg tellement vrai pour tous les clichés. Merci de ses bijoux.

  99. j.... f....

    This is great

  100. J.... ....

    C'mon, Rebecca, get back with that handsome sequoia in a business suit.
