Exclusive! Lindsay Mendez & Derek Klena Sing "First Date/Last Night" from "Dogfight" Album

Derek Klena and Lindsay Mendez record Benj Pasek and Justin Paul's "First Date/Last Night" for the original cast recording of "Dogfight," now available for digital download on Ghostlight Records.

[@maidenofavonlea298]

My question is how did they manage to write a song in which half of the lyrics are “bum bum bum” and it’s still like the most beautiful thing ever😭

[@the-ma-an]

Because it's a song about an awkward date

[@anneonomous4910]

I think it works so well because the longer the song goes on the more in sync they get with the bums, with the occasional harmony together popping up. It's symbolic oh them slowly bonding and falling for each other 💖

[@christinelaforteza4104]

Facts

[@yetty111]

That is the magic of songwriters Pasek & Paul :)

[@rinar0se]

when Derek Klena does that little "huh?" he just looks so gosh darn cute

[@redpandachannel4534]

+MagicalMarinaaa I was thinking the EXACT same thing!!!!

[@julianna8151]

MagicalMarinaaa yessssss

[@naomijanmaat8765]

I melt

[@keiko4043]

I laughed so hard when I saw that 😂

[@dazraine7400]

MagicalMarinaaa Ik so pure

[@mattveslino252]

IT'S 2018 AND I'M STILL BITTER AF THAT THIS NEVER MADE IT TO BROADWAY. IT IS (IMO) PASEK&PAUL'S GREATEST WORK (ASIDE FROM DEAR EVAN HANSEN) AND IT DESERVES TO BE SEEN BY A BROADWAY AUDIENCE. GRR.

[@Oi-kh9sp]

Matt Vesliño Mooooooooood!!!

[@orangeorange9493]

SAME

[@laurengrace2822]

preach

[@logangreen6107]

I wholeheartedly agree.

[@started_dreaming208]

Yes omg. But I got to see Derek in MoulinRouge and this redeemed it a bit haha

[@DoIActLikeAGangsta]

the chemistry both vocally and physically between the two of them is absolutely incredible

[@ItsJenUHsis]

a very underrated musical duet to this day

[@pacemarshall9358]

This is one of those songs I can play on repeat for hours and never get tired of it.

[@mackenziewalker4155]

HONESTLY

[@vincentalexander2294]

He's really handsome!

[@somethingnexttonormal]

Vincent Martinez he's HOT

[@rubytuesday1163]

DEREK KLENA AND JEREMY JORDAN ARE MY FAVE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD AND NEED TO BE ON BROADWAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE THANK YOU GOODNIGHT

[@Apples2aco]

Ruby Tuesday YES ME TOO DEAR

[@briannaking1887]

Ruby Tuesday omg me too!! They are seriously amazing and my favorite people ever!

[@breckenweaver4769]

Your soooooo right!!!

[@HickoryDickory86]

Love it! Well, anything with these two singing a duet together gets my automatic love. Their voices are just so wonderful together (not only is their harmony great, but they're so in sync that they even ease into their vibratos at the same time), and the fact that they're the best of friends in real life makes it that much more perfect. ^_^

[@Cheekycrissy]

I hear WICKED is going into production as a MOVIE, would LOVE to see Lindsay and Derek in that! :)

[@climbinguphill]

I would be fine with Aaron or Derek as Fiyero in the movie. It would be great if Lindsay was Elphaba.

[@MikeA15206]

Lets hop Anne Hathaway doesn't want to do it! LOL

[@marissastangl2629]

I think Aaron or Derek for Fiyero and Lea Michele for Elphaba

[@kerrylambert4681]

I was thinking the same thing

[@BacadoTheSkoggy]

Dj

[@brilliant1a]

I've never heard 2 voices blend so beautifully!! -loved it!!

[@multimakeupdoll]

Her voice gives me life

[@thelunarbay914]

The connection between them is so freaking amazing in everything they're in together.

[@copypastakitchen]

i love how much they're in character here

[@marcmanaloto1184]

these two are so into it. like every single word they sing is truly a new moment they're discovering. true actors. wig.

[@MadisonsMelody]

I love Klendez with all my heart

[@platinum_amortentia]

They just click so well in every way. I wonder what their story was in a previous life...

[@platinum_amortentia]

Will Jones no.

[@kitkat12050]

Just because someone talks about previous lives doesn’t mean that they’re hindu?????

[@psychoukoh]

I swear, I have this song on repeat in my Broadway playlist all day! Got my chorus class addicted also! Love the song and Derek and Lindsay!

[@heidiguz15]

I'm seriously obsessed with this song!

[@madelinevoelkel990]

[@bmags4188]

[@StripesofShay]

DEEEERRRRRRREEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK

[@hayleyhjw]

Street lamp, dim glow A light up like a night like summer snow Well, let it pour Just cover up whatever came before Sea breeze, whips through And makes you do some shit you'd never do Talkin' queer, why the hell are you still here? And we go Bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum Don't know why I decided to come Meet me halfway A touch and go of don't know what to say Do we talk? What? Huh? Don't expect too much, just walk Blank slate, blank stare Yeah you made her cry Why do you care? What took hold? Look at her, she looks so... cold And we go Bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum Don't know why I decided to come Twisting lemons into lemonade You'd be sleeping You'd be drunk If you had stayed And you might miss Any good that could come After this First date Last night Not quite what you pictured, but alright So take her out Give him a shot Cause people can surprise you... or not And we go Bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum

[@briannarose7068]

Omg Lindsay used to play Elfiba in wicked and Derek played Fiero

[@nrw3260]

They where in Dogfight together before Wicked

[@nrw3260]

+Sarah Picavet oh I'm pretty sure Lindsey was with Katie rose Clark and Kara Lindsey not annaleigh

[@Pingeroo]

This song blew me away when I saw the show last summer, and it has haunted me ever since. I am beyond thrilled that a recording is finally available. Thank you!

[@jadegalindo2443]

[@abbiemueller5052]

[@christiem1232]

Abigail Mueller he does

[@naomijanmaat8765]

ahhhhhhh their voices are so smooth together

[@BacadoTheSkoggy]

Why does it look like Derek's about it burst out into laughter before each subtle jumpcut it's too adorable and I don't know what to do with myself because of them. Help

[@akosiyujin10]

Everything about this is literally perfect

[@elsakegelman245]

At 2:30 I can really hear the "Elphaba" quality to Lindsay's voice :) Beautiful.

[@skinkscat]

[@christinelaforteza4104]

I’ve watched this video to many times to be healthy

[@liv-bv3pl]

Lindsay is so fucking awesome

Derek is so amazing god I love him.

[@brandonschumacker]

Love this song

[@bighairshortlegs]

Damn and I’m back here throwing myself over Derek

[@oli8033]

Derek had no business being that pretty oml

[@AlexisCoooper]

I'm obsessed with this song

[@sophiemadigan4583]

Lindsay Mendez is a Goddess

[@AnjelaEra]

Pure talent 💚

[@capucine9791]

The bu bu bum bits are so beautiful

[@mollymenner6596]

When Derek says "why the hell are you still here" is he asking himself or rose in his head?

[@amandarivada2998]

Suuuuuper late reply, but I’m pretty sure he’s just asking himself

[@jakebrantley8889]

I'm even later but I think it's to both of them. Why is she still hanging out with him after what he did and why is he with this girl he wouldn't normally be with.

[@carolinabelle58]

Himself

[@sophiaadams4602]

I'm sorry but "yeah you made her cry, why do you care?" is such a funny thing to think

[@ct7828]

that piano guy

[@lanie3565]

my heart!!!

[@feltongirl57]

Okay, I'm obsessed.

[@mmh1088]

and now they're going to be Elphaba and Fiyero!! so excited!

[@greensun92]

[@floatmyboat721]

WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD THIS
