Finale
The Dr. Horrible Cast Lyrics


Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Dr. Dre]
Check this out, we've come to the last and final record
This is Dr. Dre in full effect and we gonna kick it off a little some this like this
We got my mella yella boy on the drums, We got Stan "the Guitar Man"
Dropping the rhythm. We got LA Dre on the keyboard and I want the whole
Posse in this motherfucker to rock on this funky ass beat we're gonna drop
Alright, So Ice Cube, you the early bird on this motherfucker , run it
[Ice Cube]
Picture a nigga that's raw
Amplify his ass and what you see is what's on
Motherfuckers I slaughter, blow em out the water
Word to me, fuck the father
My melody is deadly as a pin in a hand grenade
5 seconds before you get played
You can't throw me, I guess you'll blow up
Ever see a sucker scatter, it'll make ya throw up
Then I take advantage, you can't manage
To get up, all you can do is sit up, I get lit up
Hit up, Ice Cube tearing shit up
Like a dude you can bet on
Collide like a head on
Collision, stutter stepping is an incision
Of a nigga saying exactly what I vision
Because I'm gone, you think I left you all
But I stay in yo' ass like cholesterol
When I blast some solid ass Alcatraz
And if you escape, you better swim fast
'Cause I'll catch ya, physically and mentally
And the capital punishment's the penalty
Sitting in the electric chair, grab a hold
Pull the switch, yo' body twitch, your eye's explode
Out your skull 'cause being dull on a flow
Is an N-O, niggas didn't know that I can go
Off and show off to throw off the law
Turn, take 10 paces then draw
What's left is a motherfucker dead in the alley
Ice Cube is the shit on the grand finale

[Dr. Dre]
Yea, yea that was funky but we need the motherfucking villian to speak
So kick it

[MC Ren]
The grand finale, yo, it's my turn to bust
So let weak motherfuckers turn to dust
If you're weak it ain't my fault
Just take a kick in the ass and get turn into a pillar of salt
And niggas that's biting just to taste me
I make the punk motherfuckers buckle up for safety
And on the dope they caught from the flash
And swing like a bit when he's caught in a whiplash
Giving him pain 'cause I'm urgent
Rearrange the motherfucking face like a surgeon
It ain't no excuse for the torture delivering
Don't say that I scare you, I can tell 'cause your shivering
Lyrics label wit an X and not a G
I say fuck the police, yo, so now they after me
I'm wanted by the law so I stay low
Representing the pimp, bitches making my dough
In a different stage, I must of went on a rampage
Me and the D.O.C. are always hitting the front page
For what, for stealing and stepping up to the sheriff
And when I enter the party, niggas shit in a (cell pimp)
For what, maybe 'cause I'm Ren
And when they clean up shit, yo, they do it again
So fuck it, sit back cool and relax
While Eazy busts the facts kicking the grande finale

[Dr. Dre]
Yea, y'all know what time it is. Easy motherfucking E is in the house doing
Damage

[Eazy E]
The name is Eazy for me to come off like the inforcer'
Mass murder motherfuckers in a course of
An everyday situation where I would stalk by
Fuck the car, I do a motherfucking walk-by
Eazy-E and the D.O. to the C. and
Run house and there won't be no disagreeing
'Cause if there is some, you feeling staticy
Then I'm arrested (For what) assault and battery
Never outdone, only outdoing
Loving the bitches and the hoes boo hooing
Why 'cause they're addicted to my dick
The pleasure of pain, the wing-ding and flipped it
(Yea) and never forget when done in bed by
Eazy, the name of a Compton hard head
Cool but local like loc never broke
'Cause they're paid to be Ruthless, this is why I do this
I don't give a fuck about fame
I rather deal wit a number than a motherfucking name (word)
Get me paid and then rap
'Cause all the other bullshit money ain't jack
Eazy but not that Eazy to deal wit
Especially if you're popping bullshit
Put the E-A-Z-Y and to the E
Expression of thought on the motherfucking grand finale

[Dr. Dre]
Yea, that shit was funky, last but not least is the motherfucking D.O.C.
This is your album, so that means you definitely got to get funky, so run it

[The D.O.C.]
Swinging, singing a brand new rap
On a rhythm concocted by my homie in the back and
If it makes you giggle, it must be kinda funny
But to me it's kinda cool (Tell 'em why), I'm making money
Tripping up the man wit the (swig tan) movement
Proving if you're grooving then it cool when he be doing it
Taking a second for me to blow your mind
'Cause I'm the diggy diggy D.O.C. and I would've been down wit rock
But I was smart, the D.O. to the C. now on the formula
It's rough, I mean it's funky enough for me
And you can have a listen after that and this and
D-O-N-'T M-O-V-E wit out permission
From the D.O. to the C., I'm just better than
The normal man and I'll be dumb if a sucker can
Ever compete wit the elite
Much less beat, it's like dancing wit 2 left feet
Never smile when the D.O.C. is in the room
Or I'm a send ya ass to the temple of doom
I got raw when I came to Cali
Now wit NWA on the motherfucking grand finale

A quick character analysis!
Dr Horrible:
He's the villain, right? But he also the protagonist! Should we root for him? Well, his failures make him sympathetic.
It's easy to identify with his social awkwardness, but also hidden ambition.
We expect the protagonist to get the girl!
On the other hand, he's a hypocrite. For all his talk about "changing the status quo" he throws a party with the mayor.
The "change" he pursues goes no further than his own bank account. He really didn't care about the homeless, nor about the root cause, as it turns out.
He didn't deserve to ""get the girl"" because instead of improving himself, he just tried to shallowly (and insincerely) pander to her interests.

Cpt. Hammer:
He's the hero! Or is he?
Ostensibly, he's the antagonist. He's crude. He's bad with words. He's unaware how he turns Penny off.
Also, as it turns out, he couldn't get tough when the going got tough. He was only on board while the ride was easy.
On the other hand, his message was sincerely inspirational!
For all the backganded compliments and (un)veiled narcissism, the core idea was altruistic and hopeful. Ironically so, because Dr. Horrible sang about the implied "rot at the core" that no one sees, all the while he just couldn't see past the rough surface!
He wasn't a nice person, maybe not even a good person. But neither was he the "hidden devil" Dr. Horrible thought him to be.

Penny:
Some viewers underestimate her for the way the plot (and male characters) treat her as a prop more than a person.
However, there are several points that make her the hidden, real hero of the story.
Firstly, she has the "tragic background" (kind of). She sings about rising above her failures, learning to see the good in people and using that energy to improve herself and the world around.
She may be "fighting the symptom, not the cause", but unlike Dr. Horrible she doesn't neglect the little good that she can do.
Also, unlike Cpt. Hammer, she doesn't quit when the going gets tough.
Her death underlines the moral of the story: while the self-important posers are fighting, the real helpers get hurt.
True heroism lies in helping those in actual need.
What both Dr. Horrible and Cpt. Hammer are doing, are merely a self-righteous solutions in search of a problem.



@HarrisBoe

Even after watching this like a dozen times I’m still finding new hidden details.

Horrible’s picture of Penny that he looks at during Brand New Day was clearly taken from the bushes.

Moist struggling for an entire scene to open a can because his hands are too slippery.

Horrible’s car-control app has a completely unnecessary radio function.

The beginning was all about Horrible awkwardly trying to do an evil laugh. At his grand entrance during the climax, he executes one perfectly.



@SundayTopper

It's been bugging me for a little while about that last line and what people have been thinking about what, Penny said as she died.

She didn't have blind faith in heroes. She was granting, Billy what he wished; he sung it just a moment before about her not seeing what he was doing.
... so she pretended to not know he was, Doc Horrible. She granted him his wish by playing the fool.

Her saying that bit about cptn.Hammer was also a dig at him (Hammer). Penny wasn't a fool, an idealist yes, but not a fool.
Billy and Penny both heard what, Hammer said, and while Billy didn't know it, Penny also heard was he said, and saw what he couldn't bring himself to do.

Before that moment she died they locked eyes, and in that moment Billy understood that she was mocking, Hammer, and she saw in him the man she always wanted.
In that moment they realized they were in love with each other, and could do nothing about it.

The music is dirt cheap from a synth, the actors basically did this for free, the sets are hardly sets at all. Yet Dr. Horrible remains a classic for those who know it, with amazing, archetypical storytelling, great songwriting and an inescapably compelling narrative. My point: people should invest in that, not CGI or big screen names. Also goes to show the amazing talent of the people involved.

@FentonHardyFan

I understand where you’re coming from, but these are not small-time actors.

@sehichanders7020

@@FentonHardyFan Of course they are not. They still did it mostly for free ;-)

@cubonefan3

I am new to this fandom I love the soundtrack, acting, and story ! But I wish they did better with the screenplay.

@blyatt

@@cubonefan3 what did you have a problem with in the screenplay?

@christabelle__

This came about because of a writer's strike, and it's still a testament to what you can do on a small budget and lots of talent!
