"Twisted" - Music by AJ Holmes, lyrics by Kaley McMahon.
starkid lyrics are either 'tis nobler in the mind to be well liked but ineffectual, or moral but maligned? or TIGERFUCKER!
the duality of man
I love it so much.
TIGERFUCKER TIGERFUCKER!
All 3 types of people!!!😄
Ngl, twisted has the best recording of songs. Like they'll all pretty damn close to being the same as live. Some even sound like it was taken from the recorded show with just the laughter taken away.
The other musical recordings often sound slightly different or as if they're missing something.
11/10 to twisted
BUT THERE'S NO 'A BUFFALO MONSTER....IN A CAPE!"
@@adarabaldini I really hoped the part would be there
adara b that part was improvised!!
. . . not exectly, in the musical someone called out "how could you" to cruella
My one complaint is Lauren, like, one solo line in No One Remembers Achmed. It just sounded strange with the rest of the song. Overall the best, though
Ursula:
“I only wished to give the people a voice”
s u r e
Ursula be like:
“Hippity hoppity your voice is now my property.”
This song is full of great puns. "the pride came before my fall". Scar fell off a cliff in front of his lion pride and was eaten by hyenas at the bottom.
The Pixar/Magic Kingdom thing!!
Ursula also interrupted Captain Hook (while she was saying that she wanted to give others a voice too lmaoooo)
*I smell irony!*
The Cruella trailer be like:
"I only wished to have a coat made out of puppies!"
Disney: "disregard that"
And yet, Disney makes a movie about her....
Starkid: Cruella is the one Disney villain who can't be made more sympathetic.
Disney: Oh, yeah? Watch us! Her mother was killed by dalmatians! Hey, why is everyone laughing?
i will only defend that movie for its aesthetic. it’s camp asf
Jafar: "As a citizen, I think I would be grateful for the aid"
Citizens: *flip him off on a regular basis*
Jafar: "But if I were the sultan I should hate to be betrayed"
Sultan: *took Jafar's wife and is a total dimwit*
Jafar, I love you man, but sometimes you're too nice. Seriously.
but he gets his happyend, only because he was way to nice, sometimes carma is not that much of a bitch
Fuck you Jaffar
This is all your fault, Jafar
The words of his wife echoing in his ear
This is all your fault Ja'far.
No one mourns the twisted
No one lays a lily on their grave!
No one mourns the twisted
The twicked
Now at last he's dead and gone! Now at last there's joy throughout the land! And goodness knows, the twisted lives are lonely, goodness knows, the twisted die alone (HE DIED ALONE!)
Can someone please say what this is from?
lets be real,, this song slaps so hard
aymee d I STARTED BAWLING
@@kaley_kayla6914 SAME MY MOM GOT SO CONCERNED
It's what Starkid does best.
Honestly tho
So hard
The heart wants what it wants, and sometimes what it wants is *twiiiiissssstttteeeeedddd*
Godly vocals
American Sociopath I wish I could like multiple times
HONESTLY THO
All Ja'far should remember is - "The needs of the many bugs outweigh the needs of the few bugs." "Or the ONE Bug."
He is that one bug
What do bugs have to do with it?
@@adamdavis1648 it's a reference to another Starkid musical "Starship" that deals with alien bugs.
@@darlacausey99 Thanks!
ive said it a thousand times and ill say it again, i love Dylan Saunders. he is so underrated.
Clumsy RayAnn I 👏 say 👏 this 👏 all 👏 the 👏 time
Best male singer if not best singer (rivaled by Jaime) in the StarKid cast.
*is that a pun-*
Don't you mean a thousand and one?
Missed opportunity
The raw emotion in his voice towards the end kills me. I LOVE YOU MY POOR PRECIOUS CHILD 😭
he's 40
same ^^, I do not care who is the best, or the most handsom, discuss it all you want, but Dylan totaly got my heart
@@altoclef4989 and?
"I'll give them an unsang antihero they deserve" my favorite line in the whole song.
He was the anti-hero they deserved, but not the one the one they needed (I'm surprised no one made that joke here before I did, especially in light of "Holy Musical, B@tman").
*I NEVER KNEW MY FATHER*
Furries be like.
0:36 can we all talk about that t i n y golden rule melody that they squeezed in there frickin brilliant
It reminds me of the Prince Ali section of 'Why Me', Jafar's cut solo explaining his perspective in Aladdin.
there’s a lot of melodies from past songs in this I think- 1:01 sounds a bit like A Thousand and One Nights imo
(I’m super late but god I’m so emotional over this okay)
Everybody says that "a buffalo monster... in a CAPE" is missing but what about "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?"
This is all Jafar’s fault!
EXACTLY IM SO SAD ALL THEY SAID WAS ‘you’re not helping’ I WANT EVERYONE YELLING A CRUELLA
EXACTLY IM SO SAD ALL THEY SAID WAS ‘you’re not helping’ I WANT EVERYONE YELLING AT CRUELLA
Both those lines where adlibbed by the Actors.
the way jaffar's actor delivered the phrase threw me to the orbit
THEY DIDNT INCLUDE THE BUFFALO MONSTER
IN A CAPE
Caitlyn that was improvised!!
Aleena Peter Just another reason to love Robert!
Caitlyn buffalo monster in a cape!? 😂😭 huh???? 😂😂😂
@@kaley_kayla6914 Wait really? Nice
One dislike.... It's your fault, Jafar.
And scar
Aesuithiel and Gaston
Thanks Hermione
Draco, you little shit
Damn it Paul why can’t you just sing!!
3:11 I love the implication that Belle was actually ugly but Gaston still loved her for her intelligence. Makes a good decontextualization to an already deconstructed take on Beauty and the beast
3:37 what about
A buffalo monster
In a cape
E Harland I think he may have ad libed that part live
That was improv, Robert Manion is amazing 😂
Gabby Singz! WAS IT REALLY? HE CREATED ICONIC LINE IMPROVISED WOW
Can we just appreciate Jaimie Lynn Beatty’s wonderful voice
This song is great at making you feel bad for the other villains. Ursula is a victim of sexism, which is something that many can (unfortunately) relate to today, because sexism is a problem that still needs to be fixed. Scar lost his kids, how would one not feel bad for him? Gaston is a bit iffy, considering he still seems a bit like a creep for hitting on someone after they've shown no interest, but at least his heart was in the right place for the rescue mission. If I had to rank from least to most redeemed on a ranking list, I'd go
5. Maleficent (barely there)
4. Gaston (For explained reasons)
3. Hook (just trying to save a kid from becoming like them)
2. Ursula AND Scar (I can't choose. They were both in terrible situations, that were terrible for very different reasons)
1. Jafar (The main character, so he gets the most development, whereas the others still have the occasional spot of villainous deed, most of Jafar's actions are fixed in some way)
Chewbacca the Gryffindor 6. Cruella De Vil
KJ Khurana
She gets no redeeming don’t even go there.
but cruella is inredeemable, we can all agree on that right!
I mean, technically Maleficent is also in the right, because not inviting her but inviting everyone else would have been an act of war. Still horrible to curse an innocent child, but still.
@@simonsonian8977 Maleficent is also a faerie, so not inviting her would be a huge slight to her regardless. The curse is extreme, but it's in line with the fair folk - to a faerie, she's completely in the right.
I love the mutual hate for Cruella in the live version. I kind of wish they included that in this version, but then at the same time, the clean feeling of the recording is good, too!
The last third of this song is basically Defying Gravity and I’m here for it
More like no good deed😊
Amelia Andreas you’re right lol
no one mourns the twisted
this song somehow managed to be a better parody now than when it was made seeing how Disney tried to give the puppy murderer a sympathetic backstory and no one else
There's a Maleficent movie too.
5:58 is what you came for and if not it should be
YOU KNOW ME SO WELL
But like the chanting.... and I only wished... but yeah. Still samw
Holy shit you're right!
You're right wow lmao
Yessssss
I keep replaying the part with Ursula, Scar, Gaston and the whole "I only wish" part because it's stuck in my head too much
Dylan Saunders' emotion at "I'll never be a hero all the citizens adore" gets me every time.
The vocals are amazing especially at the end. Also I love the details put into the villains telling their stories mirroring their original stories. Ursula was the true ruler of the ocean but Triton got pissed off and took the throne by force, taking her looks and voice aswell which is why she wanted to give the people a voice because she lost hers.
Twisted is literally my fave StarKid show
AJ really went off when composing and writing the lyrics for the show
the way every piece of this show came together is amazing, and I always come back to it
I think I can call this my favorite musical because it’s just *that* well done
Actually Kaley McMahon wrote the lyrics
God Dylan is so amazing.
chackuza
The plot of this song kind of reminds me of “who lives who dies who tells my story”
And this came FIRST. Hamilton who?
And also “A story told”
...now when Gaston speaks I can only hear Professor Hidgens.
A buffalo monster... WITH A CAPE
Clare Ann improv at its very finest
I'm always so impressed with the accuracy of the character voices, especially Scar.
I personally think that this is the best song in all the musical, only with No One Remembers Achmed rivalizing
I completely agree.
dylan’s part in the end SLAPS
Aside from the villains admonishing Cruella I really miss the pause before Jafar launches into his choice to become twisted.
It gave it a bit more gravitas as he realized everything he'd been and worked for was dead and gone in that moment and he'd only be remembered as a monster from that point on.
This musical is basically Proto-Hamilton for Disney Villains
Basically
proto means before...
Raven Boire Hamilton was off-broadway in 2015, while twisted came out in 2013. Hamilton was in workshop during the summer of 2013, in the same period when twisted was being already performed
so yes, twisted is basically proto-hamilton for disney villains
@@lalaspeaks Hamilton was being worked on for years, but that doesn't mean Twisted isn't proto-Hamilton, since to us, that was first.
Jack Washington Bruh it’s an ode to Wicked.
The way they say twisted is so...twisted...i love it
4:46
Just so I can repeatedly play the the end because I’m an addicted psychopath who’s latched onto that portion of the song
Relatable. Like, the entire song is great, but Dylan’s solos at the beginning and end are what I always come back to.
Scaredy Kat
One might even say you’re _twisted_
JPsings goddamit that was the best reply to this
i literally have never NOT gotten chills when dylan says "twisted" at 6:13
This is literally my favourite song from a musical. Ever. Nothing else has touched me as personally at this. And I was so skeptical before even watching the musical in the first place, lol...
I adore this song. But the only way id make it perfect is when he sings 'its my time' is take out the background singers singing 'ahh' i think itd be just a neater sound of him being alone in his choice
Well he kinda wasn't alone in his decision. He had the fates of the other twisted villains loming over him, even though he decided to through the same path
@@Jane155-x6d i get that and i see why they did it like he was singing with them because hes joined the twisted villains, though hes singing about how no one can help him and having him singing alone would also make him stand out as he feels alone? I dont know if im explaining well lol
nice pfp
The thing with the ahh’s, is that I kinda sounds like No One Mourns The Wicked from the musical Wicked, which is probably where the idea for Twisted came from. It’s kinda like a way to include it in the musical. But, yeah, you’re right, it would’ve been a good symbolism if it had been by himself
@@thetrashinyourbasement7898 The twisted idea came from how Jafar was recalling Szherezades stories
For Gaston's part I can't stop imagining Prof. Hidgens singing it please help
IT SOUNDS LIKE HIM
Varian IT IS HIM AND IM *DYING*
I love that he keeps the final note going longer in this version
This is one of the best StarKid songs, especially plot wise, like seeing the lyrics just make me love this show 10x more somehow
Cruella's part 😂 gets me every time, lol. Everyone else is justifying their actions and coming off as mostly sympathetic, and then you have good old' Cruella De Ville who wants to skin puppies to make a coat, something no one could justify to most people.
Now she can
Ursula meets Space Ursula (aka Pincer)
This song is criminally underrated. Far inspiring than Disney live reboots they put out this days
this is so different from most starkid songs. I love it though.
Alberte Solveig Bækgaard Mortensen it’s so good!!
I swear this musical is the best musical I have ever seen😂😭😍
Why is this so freaking good
Eight dislikes...it's all your fault, Jafar.
Thanks, Herman!
dAd!
Thanks, Hermione
4:46 a time stamp for myself just to hear dylans beautiful voice
The 'I only wished' part should have been longer. Then this song would rise from greatness to perfection
Look at him! He's Twisteeeddd!
*demonic furniture*
The way she says "unfortunate situation" reminds me of Snape
Damn I can’t unhear it now! You’re so right-
Hey there! Could you take these videos down? When you post the albums for free, the artists who created it don't get paid for it, which makes it harder to continue making shows in the future. Thanks!
I still bought the album.
+
Have you considered making official lyric videos on youtube say, a few months, after the recording is released for free? they'd be a hit imo, god knows they'd be on all of my playlists
Any plans to make it available on spotify? I am sure it doesnt pay as well for you guys, but i dont have an apple to play apple music on. You have trail to oregon on there already so i know its doable, i listen to that quite often but not as much as i would listen to twisted or any of the vp musicals. Maybe switch around the musicals every couple of months?
@@laurena7894 it's been on Spotify for a long time
The first part of this song with the fast snappy lyrics and rhymes remind me a lot of Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, which is very cool.
I'm not crying. Definitely not crying.
Not me crying at 9am on a Wednesday over a very well done parody of a fictional villain in a Disney movie.
This was the song that introduced me to StarKid and I love it so much (not just for that)
One of my top favorite Starkid songs I have listened to this like 20 times and I get goose bumps that’s how good it is
Jafar is so soft I love him
I’m loving the hamlet reference in this
The beginning of this song is literally me vs the world/other people every single day. Great song tho!!!
In what way does the beginning of the song reflect you vs. the world/other people?
I'm totally digging the sax and strings from 5:55 and one
Ursula: That prince doesn't care about you, he only cares about your looks!
Ariel: I dont think so, he really *gets* me...
Ursula: Look! Now he's marring me
Ariel: That doesn't count though, he's misunderstood.
Ursula:... Your 16.
Ariel: But I'm super smart and wise for my age. Look! we're true love!
The part at 3:45 really reminds me of “Another National Anthem” from the musical Assassins! Is it possibly an homage?
my thoughts exactly
I Think it is
"If I hide to save my life what have my life been for?"
I mean... damn
4:48 AHHH
imo this best song in the musical tbh
the ensemble is SPICY
Who else misses Jamie’s/Ursula’s “uh uh uh” in this edited version?
This is the best song to come up while writing a response to the question “was it the correct deduction to drop the atomic bombs” regarding ww2 and japan for my history class. Like I can’t choose, I personally am a passivity and those are thousands of innocent civilians and children. But also considering how japan just was not listening to reason. I’m just thinking of this and doctor who during this.
Best song of the show
Fave bit 3:46 - 4:30
Just realized Gaston is Robert it professor hidgens
*help improve* not help him prove
Name Tag it is all your fault Jafar!
Its a little funny that they twisted Beauty and the Beast because that story was already a twisted story wasn't it? It just had a happy ending XD
Not sure if I would consider Stockholm syndrome to be a happy ending
@@fukkthisnewupdate8882 I mean, she only fell for him after he let her go, so is it Stockholm?
damn the lyrics of this is just--!!!! wow
This song always makes me cry
Favorite part is everything from 4:45!
My favourite song out of all of them
“There are two sides to every story”, A Quote to all stories told from the villains point of view!
This is why Immanuel Kant invented his imperative
hey starkid official said to take down the vid, i know this is from 2015 and you probably won't see this but like eee
this song is just one huge panic attack
*FIYEEEEEEEROOOOOOO*
Disney should have just paid to make a film version of Twisted instead of trying to make Cruella sympathetic.
4:38
Dont mind me, just a personal timestamp
If Hades was in Twisted, what would his Twist be?
They could go by actual Greek mythology. Hades got stuck into ruling the dead-it wasn't his choice, and he wasn't particularly evil, especially compared to Zeus or Poseidon.
Well Hades wasn't a villain in the first place, really.
That he was a good guy who does his job, loves his wife, and has a dot named spot
Oh wait-
@@delightfulmochas But you have to remember that he kidnapped his wife
@@TheKnowledgeMan101 only sometimes.
I like how they don't even try to vindicate cruella. How do you redeem murdering puppies to make a coat?
his enunciation ahh !!!!! incredible !!
Sorry if its obvious, but what exactly did he do? Was it stealing the lamp? Sorry I haven't watched the live version, just listened to the soundtrack
deanpala 67 yeah he stole the lamp
deanpala 67 it was the situation in which Aladdin was framing him as a sorcerer and he stole the lamp.
deanpala 67 watch it
It's up on CZcams
Oswen It’s been 2 years, you’d better have watched the full version by now
the whole cruella thing is funny bc she's ACTUALLY evil but like i love that part of the song so much and it just kinda ruins it. like this is in my top 3 from the musical but the joke feels so out of place :/
mediocremaddie I feel like the Cruella bit worked really well onstage but not as well on the soundtrack because without the visuals and the group reactions it just falls flat.
10 dislikes it's all your fault Jafar
I kinda miss the audience reactions in recordings when compared to the live shows
This song is just like the play funny, sad and gives me chills.
