Aida - Like Father Like Son

Like Father Like Son from the Broadway musical Aida, with music and lyrics by Tim Rice and Elton John. I do not own anything. All rights belong to Tim Rice, Elton John, and Universal Distribution.
Zoser:
Don't come on so cocksure boy, you can't escape your genes
No point in feeling pure boy, your background intervenes
Listen good and listen straight, you're not the master of your fate
To this you must be reconciled, you'll always be your father's child
At times acclaimed, at times reviled
You'll wind up doing just what I've done
Like father, like son
Radames:
Don't assume your vices get handed down the line
That a parent's blood suffices to condemn the child's design
I've done wrong, I can't deny, but at least I know that I
Shouldn't blame that on my stock, this may come as quite a shock
I'm no chip off any block, I wouldn't wish those words on anyone
Like father, like son
Zoser:
Son you're nervous, take my hand
All is settled,all is planned
You've got the world at your command
I don't think you understand
Radames:
I appreciate too well
The squalor at which you excel
it isn't very hard to tell
Evil's a distinctive smell
Zoser:
He's lost all sense of reason, and why?
Some foreign slut
That is the road called treason,
Some doors are slamming shut
Just like me he's found that flesh can excite but will enmesh
Once we rid him of this blight.
Once this harlot's out of sight.
Then I think he'll see the light.
He won't walk back to daddy he will run.
Like father, like son...

Holy moly Schaffrillas was right this is severely underrated

[@spoupsmcdoups]

Ikr man this song is actually amazing

[@jimmyjohnjoejr]

Funnily enough my college theater performed this play last night. I thought "cool I like this" then Schaffrillas mentions it in his villain music video and all of a sudden I wanna go back and see it again when they perform it on Saturday.

You can definitely tell this music was written by Elton John

[@kaylamorello5478]

Yeah it has his telltale piano motiff

[@nesso.9944]

I'm so glad Schaffrillas has gotten a ton of people into this musical! Welcome everybody!!

[@PrincessX-ke8tj]

I'm glad thanks to Schaffrillas this song is getting more attention! Check out the rest of the show! This is what got me into musicals, and it holds a really special place in my heart and deserves more attention.

[@beetlejuiceblues12]

When we did this musical at my high school, all the other girls were like, "Oh, I love Strongest Suit and Gods Love Nubia!!" and I was just like "LIKE FATHER. LIKE SON. BUILD ANOTHER PYRAMID."

[@PrincessX-ke8tj]

According to the HAAAWK GOD HORUS our most regal invalid, he's not that much longer for us, build another pyramid!

Just like most of the other people here, Schaffrillas sent me. And I really want to thank him, as this song hits close to home for me, and I love stuff that hits close to home.

Probably one of my favorite songs from this musical... and that’s saying something because everything Heather Headley sings is magic!

[@liamshaughnessy6246]

Love ❤️ this musical 🎤 plus music 🎶 in general!

[@queenmedesa]

Love this song !

[@Kuronosa]

Oh...this musical is such a joy. When my family and I went to go see it, the understudy for the Father(whose name I've forgotten) was on stage, and while he didn't look like Radames' father, he look positively EVIL...and it was great.

[@tyrant-den884]

Yes I am picturing Tarkin and Elan from Order of the Stick.

[@cdkumquat4953]

"Don't worry. You'll live."

[@evanlazdowski6437]

Wow... I played Zoser in my high school's production this past year. And it was my last show there, too (graduated last month, headed to Manhattan School of Music in the fall!). This brings back so many memories of what was--surprisingly--the best high-school-theatrical experience I ever had.

[@frenchturtle3543]

My school is doing it this Spring and I'm going for Zoser or Mereb, this song is so good!

[@markweis7116]

Evan Lazdowski I saw your videos on KZbin of you singing this and Another Pyramid you were the best where are the videos they are gone could you reupload them if you get the chance.

[@Widgeonify]

A song that can be used in the musical production of Yu-Gi-Oh! for an argument song between Seto and his father Aknadin with reference to Kisara.

[@upg5147]

That be something to see and hear....

[@random_person3191]

Currently the stage manager on Aida- love this song sm omg Zozer is the worst but his MUSIC is to goodd

[@denisbukovic5413]

My father coconut crab send me to listen to this

[@DParkerNunya]

Crab

[@liamshaughnessy6246]

Heck yeah!

[@mich8050]

when I performed this musical, with an amdram company, the director/musical director, the choreographer and the guys playing Radames and Zoser all agreed that the lyrics "I've done wrong I can't deny but at least I know that I shouldn't blame that on my stock, now this may come as quite a shock but I'm no chip off any block' should all be sung by Zoser.

[@MohnJcIntyre]

+Mich 1404 Why would that be sung by Zoser? That part is drenched in Ramades character. "I've done wrong I can't deny...." Ramades referring to his conquests of Nubia "Shouldn't blame that on my stock..." Ramades referring to taking responsibility for his faults (also sang Not Me) "Now this may come as quite a shock/any block" Ramades referring to himself not wanting to be like Zoser and conspire to take the throne Also Zoser talks about how he WAS chip off the block, "Won't walk back to daddy, he will run, like father like son" referring to an incident where he himself had an incident like this and his dad did the same thing and Zoser ran back to him.

[@mich8050]

MohnJcIntyre your guess is as good as mine as to why they thought that. But when I tryed to point out their idiocy, using the same arguments you just laid out, the were able to shout me down thanks to the 4 vs 1 nature of the argument and the fact that they had all been at the company for years and I was just a newbie at the company

[@Smartcherry0490]

Mich 1404 you are wrong. I've seen a professional performance and those lyrics are sung by Radames, it would make ZERO sense if it were sung by Zoser.

[@mich8050]

Nadya Soler, you're telling me I'm wrong by agreeing with me you fool.

[@moaharbor]

Okay this slaps have no idea what the musical is about but good song

[@Pinkstarclan]

b...brambleclaw?

[@EmilyTheOtakuofficial]

Yes so true. It could very well apply to the harsh treatment he received from Thunderclan even as he proved his loyalty at all times.

[@EveryDayALittleDeath]

Love this song, Just a little lyric correction "That is the road called treason" is "Not only is that treason"

[@blunk778]

Not if you listen close

[@matthewlusch975]

I have played Zozer, It is "Not only is that treason"

[@Smartcherry0490]

Raye J it's "not only is that treason", not sure what musical you saw where the lyrics are "that is the Road called treason".

[@EveryDayALittleDeath]

Nadya Soler that's what I was saying; that the line "That is the road called treason" is supposed to be "Not only is that treason" so I really don't know why you're trying to "correct me"

[@jamisanmatalonis8458]

Raye J Your wording was a little off. I thought it was the other way around, as well. :)
