    • @lonelylittledot
      @lonelylittledot 7 лет назад +40

      I feel like he's a little too... conventionally attractive to play Emmet. Like, don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Christian Borle, but he is not the traditional male lead that you get in most musicals, he's supposed to be quirky and a bit awkward. I just feel like Derek is too blatantly hot for this role :') I would still love to see him as Emmet though, because I really love this character!

    Dancing through life
    Skimming the surface
    Gliding where turf is smooth
    Life's more painless
    For the brainless
    Why think too hard?
    When it's so soothing
    Dancing through life
    No need to tough it
    When you can sluff it off as I do
    Nothing matters
    But knowing nothing matters
    It's just life
    So keep dancing through
    Dancing through life
    Swaying and sweeping
    And always keeping cool
    Life is fraught-less
    When you're thoughtless
    Those who don't try
    Never look foolish
    Dancing through life
    Mindless and careless
    Make sure you're where less
    Trouble is rife
    Woes are fleeting
    Blows are glancing
    When you're dancing
    Through life
    So, what's the most swankified place in town?
    That would be the ozdust ballroom
    Sounds perfect
    Let's go down to the ozdust ballroom
    We'll meet there later tonight
    We can dance till it's light
    Find the prettiest girl
    Give 'er a whirl
    Right on down to the ozdust ballroom
    Come on, follow me
    You'll be happy to be there
    [All]
    Dancing through life
    Down at the ozdust
    [Fiyero]
    If only because dust
    Is what we come to
    [All]
    Nothing matters
    But knowing nothing matters
    It's just life
    So keep dancing through

    The trouble with schools is
    They always try to teach the wrong lesson
    Believe me, I've been kicked out
    Of enough of them to know
    They want you to become less callow
    Less shallow
    But I say: Why invite stress in?
    Stop studying strife
    And learn to live "the unexamined life"
    Dancing through life
    Skimming the surface
    Gliding where turf is smooth
    Life's more painless
    For the brainless
    Why think too hard
    When it's so soothing?
    Dancing through life
    No need to tough it
    When you can slough it off as I do
    Nothing matters
    But knowing nothing matters
    It's just life
    So keep dancing through
    Dancing through life
    Swaying and sweeping
    And always keeping cool
    Life is fraught less
    When you're thoughtless
    Those who don't try
    Never look foolish
    Dancing through life
    Mindless and careless
    Make sure you're where less
    Trouble in life
    Woes are fleeting
    Blows are glancing
    When you're dancing
    Through life
    So--what's the most swankified place in town?
    That would be the Ozdust Ballroom
    Sounds perfect!
    Lets go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
    We'll meet there later tonight
    We can dance 'till it lights
    Find the prettiest girl
    Give her a whirl
    Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
    Come on, follow me
    You'll be happy to be there
    Dancing through life
    Down at the Ozdust
    If only because dust is what we come to
    Nothing matters
    But knowing nothing matters
    It's just life
