Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Cast - Maybe She's Not Such A Heinous Bitch After All Lyrics

I'm getting hairspray vibes not gonna lie

i just saw this as fuckin fun her mum was a freak from day 1

Everyone is saying the beginning reminded them of Santa Ana Winds and I was like...I Love You Like A Table

This song is so damn beautiful, sad and funny, all the same time! 😂💔

I honestly don't hate my mom, my dad on the other hand...

Santa Anna wiiindss

I’m sorry but both of the backup dancers/singers are both ridiculously gorgeous and good

saaaaaaaaaaaaaammmeeeeeeeeeee

Sings this song aggressively while trying to sing Rachel’s and the backup singers parts simultaneously

It's like a Phil Spector song you can listen to without any of the guilt!

Okay but the beginning beat makes me think of Good Morning Baltimore

Is it just me or does the drum intro kinda sound like the drums from Santa Ana Winds?

god this episode hits a bit too close to home, i sobbed when naomi found out rebecca was suicidal

Nice tits.

"all i ever wanted every day was to resent my mother in a regular way"

Lmao I wanna dedicate this song to my mom 🤣🤣😂

I undertook Art therapy as a part of my theurapeutical process. There, I learnt that the combination of blue and red illustrates the "inner split up" of people who suffer from BPD. I don't know if this is a coincidence, but I doubt it. Nothing so far has been coincidental. They really did their research for their show. Just amazing.

anyone else think maybe the popcorn is a call back to love kernerls??

omigosh the beginning of this song reminds me a lot of "I Love You Like A Table" from Waitress and I was trying to place it for a while but yeah woah

This is the only Crazy Ex song that I ever feel guilty about listening to... I wonder what that says about my relationship to my own mother...

i actually had the same thought about my own mother, and it also ended very similarly

"Every daughter kinda hates their mom" Is this true or do I just have a fucked up a relationship with my mother?

It's very true

I'm one of the few lucky girls who this doesn't apply to

Am I the only one who thought Rebecca looked sexier in her track suit than in the '50s party dress?

I feel like this sometimes

Me and my grandma

I cried so hard during the this episode...

It finally answered the question where whether Naomi really loved her daughter.
When Naomi found what Rebecca was reading up... the words she uttered just broke my heart and whatever that she tried to do to save her daughter just kept me tearing up...


Naomi was in control of mainly EVERYTHING in Rebecca's life... and occasionally her daughter will freak out and do stuff out of her control. But to see that Rebecca was contemplating suicide she could not handle it. All she wanted in her mind was to save her child.

Best episode ever. Cried so much during this song

I'm fairly certain that a solid 80% of the lyrics to this song would be enough to base a pretty accurate psychiatric diagnosis all by themselves.

It reminds of won't say I'm in love from hercules with the muses backing. Exspecially when there standing over them at the end.

I wish I could sing this without people looking at me like I'm crazy

not every daughter hated their mom. I love my mom very much, she a nice lady.

“And now the cute boy’s asking me to dance!”

So quintessentially Rachel Bloom: Subversively cheerful with majorly depressing undertones.

I think this is a parody of By My Baby by The Ronettes

all I ever prayed for every day / was to resent my mother in a regular way {!}

Love the hand movements for the "never made you popcorn" part.

Is it true Rebecca tried to kill herself

Earlier in this season when they referenced Suicide I didn’t think they actually do there, but they did!

I want this played Wehen I graduate top of my class and my parents are sitting there

This song speaks to my heart.

I was watching this with my baby-sitters husband and he said he watched this because he liked the way she Thought he thought she was a very crazy psychopath that went to therapy.But the actor is perfect for *CW* Crazy-Ex Girlfriend.

What the hell happened to the closed caption? It's so off.

is your only reasoning a musical number? ... sry

This episode hit me hard...

1:17 the dancers just signed either fuck you or bitch in ASL lolll

Aww I was cheering for them so much! I wanted them to get along and I almost cried when Rebecca had such wonderful time with her mom. I hope they get along like that eventually! I love Rachel, the cutest person ever <33

my personal favorite line is just: "Dark!"

The songs this season have been so catchy and brilliant and clever and funny, I'm so blessed to know this show~

Santa Ana wind vibes

For some ppl this is the closest to 'I love you, mom' that they're gonna get XD

Diana Ross and The Supremes!

I think her mom really tried to do what she thought was best for her, though giving her medication without her consent is utterly wrong when all she wanted was her moms approval. But her mom is just as damaged, if not more, as she is. She was trying to help her within her own limitations

This Song Applies To my Life Except Instead This Song Describes The Relationship i Have with my father

Is it me or did they say "dark"instead of "die"?

But the thing is Rebecca’s mom really does care about her, like how she protected Rebecca from finding out her dad didn’t want her. And she only drugged her because she was terrified that her daughter was going to kill her self (which Rebecca tried to do so it’s not like her fears were unfounded) and obviously drugging someone behind their back is wrong but it came from a place of concern for her daughter.

Love and abuse can exist at the same time. Most abusers would say that they love their victims and they are only doing the abusive thing to help the victim, but they lack empathy and understanding of what is actually best for the person and can't see their victims wants and needs past what they think is right.

@The Starchild Exactly.

Her mother had her own issues as well, but deep down she meant well... she just kinda sucked in showing affection

Am I the only one to think that the rhythm and some steps from this song are like Santa Anna Wind ? Could it be because she's being manipulated in both situations ?

@The Starchild This. Naomi meaning well, unfortunately, doesn't help much. What matters aren't just the intentions but how you achieve your goals. Naomi is a very controlling person, and maybe part of it is justified because Rebecca DOES need someone looking out for her, and maybe the reason she's bad at taking care of herself is because she was raised by a controlling parent: it's called codependency. We see even as early as Naomi's first appearance in Where's the Bathroom that she seems to want the best for her daughter, but is unwilling to consider her daughter her own person, therefore, only HER (Naomi's) opinion on HOW to achieve the best for her daughter matters, not her daughter's. It's why, instead of support, their reunion quickly descends into a series of snippy comments about Rebecca's appearance, weight, and lifestyle choices that chip away at her confidence, and why she thinks drugging her daughter is a good choice: because she thinks she knows better. It's as simple as that.
Parents who think they intrinsically know better are very common, and this behaviour can be INCREDIBLY damaging to their kids, even if they're otherwise genuinely loving and normal.

I wonder if the Santa Ana Winds backbeat is a prelude to what happens later in the episode.

“You ruined everything, you stupid biiitch!” - the Santa Ana Winds

"The flowers are pink"
So were the pills, fuck 0__0

Shout-out to choreographer Kathryn Burns for the spot-on early 60s dance moves.

I absolutely loved this one!!!

The best CEG song of all-time!

From reading the comments it seems like this episode was very pertinent for a lot of people. It hit me hard too. Not that I have had personal experience with suicidal thoughts, but it hit me how many people do, and we hardly ever talk about it, and I guess it's good that we have a really thoughtful representation of it here. It really hit me at the end, when you could just see the pain in Rebecca's eyes, the utter loneliness and how she was just in limbo between NY and CA with nothing at either of these places that she felt she could have a connection to. It's a crazy world out there. But if we stay connected to one another, we can help each other out. Peace & love my fellow humans and I hope you have a lovely day. x

raise your hand if you've watched this once a day since you saw the episode...

The sequel to “Mama I’m a Big Girl Now”

Did I hear Be My Baby?

[spoiler warning] Okay so I just noticed how prevalent the pink color motif is. The song says "The flowers are pink" to describe how blissful she feels, Naomi wears pink sweats, serves popcorn in a pink bowl, and of course gives Rebecca pink milkshakes to disguise the pink pills. And perhaps most importantly, the HELP/HOPE button at the end is also pink.

Blue is big too! Her sweats, the famous West Covina dresses, Bex wears a lot of blues.

i think it's because coz of her borderline everything always seems very blue or very pink (as in wearing pink glasses) to Becks and she only has a few moments of emotional clarity.

the pink seems more her mother's color, then bex is blue

@Jasmine Mississo That's brilliant

Rachel Bloom is a really great actress.

Naomi didn't go about it in a nice way but she really was worried about Rebecca. I was crying so hard in this episode

DarcyBrandon I know right?!? It answered whether or not Naomi really loved Rebecca or just projected her feelings.

Turns out, I could never cry as much as for a daughter mother relationship as these 2.
Both so broken.

Yes, that's why I never understood she completely ignored it when Rebecca actually tried to commit suicide...

13 heinous bitches disliked this video

I honestly don't hate my mom, I'm sorry for people with heinous moms 😅

Andrea Diaz Well, I resent my mother in a regular way, but I also love her 😅

I literally spat coffee while watching this in the episode! It was so unexpected and hilarious!

Digging the Ronettes "phil spector sound" pastiche.

Does anyone know the names of the backup singers, they look familiar

I kinda hate my mom too

This episode was painful in the best possible way. When Rebecca’s mother found her looking up suicide methods, I was instantly reminded of exchanges that have occurred between me and my mom. My mother is generally more nurturing than Naomi, but the whole episode was so familiar. Everything about it broke my heart, and I’m so excited to see how Rebecca’s character progresses after her attempt. Thanks, Rachel Bloom.

Eleanor Adasiak Same. I wish I had waited to watch it until the next episode is released so that I could get a buffer after the end of the episode. I do really appreciate that right before the credits they posted a suicide hotline number.

You think this is going to be a silly lighthearted show, but seriously it has got to me pretty deeply, as well. I actually can't praise this program enough.

My mom just asked "what's wrong with you??" and then proceed to ramble on religious things

I had the same teal juicy tracksuit in 2005 🙈

this is very supremes no?

More The Ronettes, but similar sound due to the sound of the era.

when the beginning beat played i was literally screaming because i thought there was gonna be a santa ana winds reprise

That extra chub is really starting to show in her face now.

What an emotional episode

Please more songs with these three!!!

This will be the song I play at my mother funeral

Was I the only one that expected the Santa Ana Winds guy again? lol.

More Tovah please!

Easily one of my favorite songs of the entire series.

For one glorious second I thought the Santa Ana Winds were coming back!

Great song! Definitely reminds me of your old work here on YT, especially the bridge. Love it!

I kept waiting at the end of the episode for the dream ghosts to save her but they never came :(

NeExtraOleas yeah, I was expecting the flight attendant to be a dream ghost.

writing & music on this show is brilliant

I love my mom, she is such a wonderful mom I don't deserve her.

Actually me and my Mother nowadays, for damn sure.

Thumbs up for Tovah Feldshuh!

I don't get the "finally the cute boy is asking me to dance" line when she is looking at her mom

yea i am just overthinking it.

She also said "I know it sounds like I'm falling in love" - it's about how formative our parents relationships with us are in our romantic endeavors and how Rebecca craves love and acceptance.

Per Freud, it's suppose to be daughter and father relationship. But since ***spoiler alert*** becca's father abandoned her, I guess the mother shapes how becca has relationships with men?? Not sure....I didn't study that in college

She's definitely still got the Father Daughter thing going in spades, in fact I would say that's more influential for her experiences with men (see the Dream Ghost episode). But her issues with her mom are also a big deal for her.

Bradly C actually, Rebecca's mother was like her first go at a relationship and her mother never paid any attention to her, at least she thinks so, and finally, the boy, her mother, is beginning to pay attention to her, like the cute boy is asking her to dance. She feels like she could get through the day without wanting to kill herself and that her and her mother are forming a special bond. She's using her mother as an alternative to Josh and that's her way of coping with her difficult life.

I kind of expected a "Where's the bathroom" reprise for Naomi's return xD

Rachel's vocals sound so great in this song!

Those sweats are sooooo 2004. Sometimes I forget Rachel and I are the same age.

I thought the Santa Ana winds somehow made it to NY at first 😂😂

The beginning sounds exactly like Santa Ana Winds! I'm so happy that I can hear it again!

Can I just say that Rachel Bloom looks extra beautiful throughout this episode

Ok. I'm going to put this out there. Crazy Ex Girlfriend on broadway. What you think?

No, cuz Broadway tickets are expensive as fuck.

It would be very difficult to do right, but if done right, it would be amazing!

You would have to cut too much

Oh god yes please

There was the Crazy Ex Girlfriend concert. Was that what you were thinking of?
