The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals
The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The greatest stories ever told
Have a hero who must be bold
They learn a sense of right and wrong
And better learn the sense through song
Musicals tell the impossible (The impossible)
So tonight we′re gonna chronicle
A story so astronomical
The last remaining story to tell
The guy who didn't like musicals
(Didn′t like, didn't like, didn't like-a-like ′em)
(Didn′t like, didn't like, didn′t like-a-like 'em)
I mean what the fuck?
(Didn′t like, did not like-a-like 'em)
He′s the guy who didn't like musicals
(Didn't like, didn′t like, didn′t like-a-like 'em)
(Didn′t like, didn't like, didn′t like-a-like 'em)
Yeah, what the fuck?
(Didn′t like, did not like like-a-like 'em)
In the tiny town of Hatchetfield
Lived an awful grinch named Paul
He spends his days surfing the web
And not singing and dancing with a song
Should we kill him? Should we kill him?
Oh, he pines after a cure little barista
Isn't that worth a show stopping fiesta, yeah
But for some damn reason
He won′t join our singing season
What an ass
What a bitch
What a cock
The guy who didn′t like musicals
(Didn't like, didn′t like, didn't like-a-like ′em)
(Didn't like, didn′t like, didn't like-a-like 'em)
I mean what the fuck?
(Didn′t like, did not like, did not like like-a-like ′em)
He's the guy who didn′t like musicals
(Didn't like, didn′t like, didn't like-a-like ′em)
Na, na, na, na, na...
Na, na, na, na, na, ah...
(Didn't like, did not like, did not like like-a-like 'em)
It′s the end of the world, Paul (End of the world)
If you don′t sing (If you don't sing)
This is the bridge, Paul (This is the bridge)
Where we globalize everything
And the words will come to you
We swear we will teach you
What it means to love
What it means to obey, Paul
The apotheosis is upon us
Yay!
Did you hear the word?
What′s the word?
He's a coming
Who′s a coming?
Paul's a comin′
Paul's a comin'?
The star of the show
Now for his headlining entrance
Time to swoon at his leading man essence
His name is the title
He′s destined to go viral
Here he is
His name is Paul
Enter now!
Where the fuck is he?
I have no fucking clue
The guy just doesn′t like musicals
(Didn't like, didn′t like, didn't like-a-like ′em)
(Didn't like, didn′t like, didn't like-a-like 'em) Yeah
(Didn′t like, did not like, did not like like-a-like ′em)
He's the guy who didn′t like musicals
(Didn't like, didn′t like, didn't like-a-like ′em)
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, ah...
(Didn't like, did not like, did not like like-a-like 'em) Ooh
And he definitely won′t like this, yeah
(Didn′t like, didn't like, didn′t like-a-like 'em)
(Didn′t like, didn't like, didn′t like-a-like 'em)
(Didn't like, did not like, did not like like-a-like ′em)
He′s the guy who didn't like musicals
(Didn′t like, didn't like, didn′t like-a-like 'em)
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, ah...
(Didn′t like, did not like, did not like like-a-like 'em)
Paul, you piece of shit
The lyrics to "The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals" tell the story of a man named Paul who doesn't like musicals. The song is presented as a part of a musical itself, and the lyrics are sung by the other characters who are trying to convince Paul to join in their music and dance. The song is essentially about how musicals can be philosophical and teach people a sense of right and wrong through storytelling in a way that other mediums cannot. The song also pokes fun at the character of Paul, who is portrayed as a grump who spends his time on the internet rather than singing and dancing with the rest of the group.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "The guy who didn't like musicals" in a mocking tone, emphasizing the irony of someone who is not interested in musicals being a character in a musical itself. The other characters discuss Paul's potential love interest, a barista, and argue that his reluctance to join in their music and dance is preventing him from impressing her. They also discuss the impending end of the world and how Paul needs to embrace the medium of musical theater to understand what it means to love and obey.
Overall, the song is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the power of musicals and a comedic take on the "grumpy" character archetype often seen in such productions.

TGWDLM Running Theories
-Nora was the first one infected when she went to Cold Stone and she's been the one infecting people this whole time
-Alice 'wanted' to reconnect with her dad. The Alien dude that took over her body was like, hella pissed at Bill and said everything Alice wanted to say during "Not Your Seed"
-Literally all of Hatchetfeild PD have marital problems
-The Aliens are driven by want. They can only infect someone when they know what they want(i.e. the aliens couldn't infect Paul until he said he wanted to be with Emma)
-At this point, nowhere is safe. The entire country has already been ravaged by the theater kids

My first thought was that Professor Hidgens was Doc Brown if he was a theatre kid.
