Song and lyrics[]
Lyrics:
Maya: I usually hate singing in public...
Nathaniel: Yeah, I can’t believe I’m holding a mic...
Maya: Relatably, we're both off key...
Nathaniel: But it’s the part of the film that everyone likes!
Maya and Nathaniel: It’s our gratuitous karaoke moment! We sound really bad - but look! We’re starting to sway!
Gratuitous karaoke moment! Oooh! How 'bout we flirt in a performative way!
Nathaniel: The camera work gets better as we get into the swing!
Maya: It makes no sense but we’re gaining confidence!
Maya and Nathaniel: As if it’s at all necessary that we sing!
In this gratuitous karaoke moment! Our chemistry gets better with every chord! Gratuitous karaoke moment! The crowd was annoyed but now they’re getting on board!
And then there’s a section... where the song gets quiet... and you hear all the glasses clicking in the room... We take each other in, and forget where we are, until we awkwardly remember that we’re on stage at a bar!
Oh, right!
In a 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 ten years you realize this scene doesn’t hold up!
Maya: But you’ll still sing this song in karaoke!
Maya and Nathaniel: And no one will care 'cause no one actually likes watching other people sing!
