"Shes smarter than she thinks she is" GETS ME EVERY TIME

[@mediocrio]

its SO cute he already thinks so highly of her before theyve even gotten to know one another

[@XanderHarris1023]

I like the lyrics here that become the backing vocals in Nerdy Prudes must die and Dirty Dudes must die.

[@BreadLoeuf]

I like calling it the loser motif.

and just for once! if you listen to the piano towards the end you can hear it kinda softly :D

[@esobelisk3110]

“then again i’m deranged” is my favourite part of this song. it scratches the brain worm just right i love it

[@fireflychan88]

Choosing this song and specifically and the final chorus for a recurring motif makes so much sense because all of the "nerdy prudes" at least somewhat think like the lyrics and you could apply them to most of the main cast almost seamlessly. In different places in the show it means different things about the characters. Here it's straight forwardly just peters thoughts about himself. In nerdy prudes must die it's the small bit of hope in Richie's head that provokes him to say that's he's not a loser. In dirty dudes must die it's almost like a power statement : she DID finally break the rules and then became the ruler as the lyrics state. It reclaims all of the "what if" statements into "i am" statements, as she at least claims to be giving power to the so called nerds in the school, and possibly by extension, the world. Thematically, it ties everything together very well and is, as could probably already tell, one of my favorite details in the songs.

This song is brilliant and Joey Richter has developed such a strong tenor

"I bet this song'll suck" You bet wrong.
