RENT: La Vie Boheme Lyrics

[@kierstinkoopman2575]

There is a school version but the all of the F bombs were taken out and no gay/lesbian kissing and Angel is a girl not a drag queen... so actually its not even Rent anymore

[@rawrimadinosaur4705]

I get the F bombs, but the other shit is just straight homophobic lmao

[@lya1592]

That's so wrong omg

[@metsfan0915]

why is it okay for schools to teach about things like AIDS and drug use and addiction, but if you want to perform it, its a big no-no??

[@Hunter-vm1or]

my school just did it so it depends on the school lmao

[@introusas]

i mean a lot of the songs are inappropriate in general.

[@soaring-comet]

bold of you to assume they actually teach about that lol

[@emmarogerson4847]

this song makes me sooo grateful, for art and music and theatre and love.... this song is a celebration of life - thank you jonathan larson

[@soniadownie7459]

RENT - my absolute favourite - loved this version, saw the show twice in Melbourne, Australia. Can't speak more highly of the whole show. Have to say I bought the CD at the show and only really know this version. The live performance was sensational - couldn't actually bring myself to watch the movie version. La Vie Boheme!!! - absolute favourite - love love love it

[@kodiibearv]

mark's "dearly beloved" solo at the beginning is what gives me oxygen.

[@2Bdiscovered]

I LOVE THIS MARK'S VOICE SO MUCH. IT'S SO GOOD AND VERY DISTINCT

[@CapMan275]

Why do you say "This" Mark's voice?

[@jessherrick163]

It’s the same mark

[@CapMan275]

@@jessherrick163 that's what I was saying, just in a questionable manner.

[@introusas]

Ian Lee he wasnt responding to you...

[@introusas]

this is the funniest comment ive seen

[@intplusoneChannel]

I like that Mark stayed pretty consistent, but this performance sounds so different from the ones I'm used to.

[@totalgeek124]

I love this play! I've watched it eight times in the last two days!

[@millielouise8384]

My life aim is to learn all the words to this song

[@lucylincoln3285]

I was blessed to be in it in 2006. Omg. Can't forget now...careful what you wish for! 😆😆😆😆

[@fancyfilly8]

Don't call them stupid. It was a perfectly good question. As a minor, this is one of my favorite musicals and I feel that although it has MATURE (not inappropriate) content, it has very good themes.

[@izz3352]

0:26 the entrance for bennys part

[@MissSallyB1]

the sound of ice tea being stirred is a very esoteric sound, mind you.

[@vaileen93]

THOSE LYRICS ARE INCREDIBLE.

[@carmodance]

my hs did sweeney todd last year and this year we are doing rent lol

[@sakurabloom123]

OMG ANOTHER REPO! AND RENT LOVER!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

[@MysteriousFlower22]

My wife jus introduced me to this song and the musical and I cannot wait to see it. I wish someone would bring it back to the stage.

[@123MrsLautner]

The local public high school in my area actually performed Rent this past year... It all just depends on the school and whether the authoritative figures think it's appropriate.

[@nisashafield]

Great job on the lyrics! I love how you added who said what... That's pretty awesome.

[@markbuell9440]

My school did RENT. Funny thing is, they did the school edition. However, we had a last performance and during that last performance, we did it for the school, we put everything BACK into La Vie Boheme and all the other parts too...

@Sophie Charron-Groulx Kidz Bop Rent: an anathema

[@Wokanshutaiduo13]

I prefer the movie version of this song... but broadway overall is SO much better

[@crybabymartinez9713]

Wokanshutaiduo Snape I feel the same I love the stage version so much but this one song the movie did a lot better

[@CapMan275]

@@crybabymartinez9713 don't forget that they can edit the movie version. I still agree with you though. But for the limits on Broadway, I think it is comparing apples to oranges.

[@MagicPeanut11]

"You bet your ass"

[@boycrazyrentfreak]

I LOVE RENT more than anything!!!!!!!!!1:)

[@yougetpieintheface]

SWEENEY TODD!!!!!!! i could never live up to my expectations on that show. maybe rent.

[@Mtgurl4ever]

You should move to my high school they've done Sweeney Todd and Rent school edition :)

[@abcdlovexoxo]

"HELLO SIR!!" I keep laughing at that part.

[@SnoopyPeep]

I love this movie....wish so bad I could see the play. it sounds so much better.

[@GalileothePelican32]

I Love Mark Cohen!!!!!

"i would like to propose a toast to Maureen's noble try. it went well" "go to hell?'

[@WhyCantiSee47]

It's the Original Broadway Cast, muchhh longer and has more stuff in it. the movie version combines la vie boheme, i should tell you, and la vie boheme all in one.

[@smolallie]

Hey, if you don't mind me asking, which version is this? I'm trying to find it elsewhere but yours seems to be the only video I could find it in! The others are from the movie but I assumed this one was [but it sounds different]

[@AdrianSkyline]

@figglesnorf9 no my school did this last year for the spring musical it all depends on the school board

[@Pentax25]

i love when benny goes "Waiter, Waiter, Waiter!" when he has had enough :L

[@ret3718]

@figglesnorf9 There's a highschool version of RENT.

[@taylorgonzales2447]

Man I wish schools would let us do Rocky Horror!

[@CapMan275]

xD

[@LauraisLoading]

And Chicago!

[@P2tbAnimeGirl]

@figglesnorf9 My school did RENT Three years ago. If we could get approved, then I bet yours could. Good luck! ;D

Join a theatre group that's what I did =D

[@jayboyrocker99]

what are you talking about. every legitimate theater person on the planet knows this musical.

[@idiotzacharybauman]

Holy Trinity (a school on long island) did Sweeney Todd this spring! I did H2$

[@umbreonespeont6]

The high school I'm going into next year is most likely doing it! I'm gonna try our for Colombia! ;)

[@StarChaser506]

I Feel Your Pain! I hear everyone listening to LMFAO and im thinking:"Jesus, dont these ppl dont know what good music is!?"i know most of the songs by heart and i could audition for Mark's part but im too young!

[@supermanwich23]

"as long as the honor it correctly" being the operative phrase. But Yeah.. I can understand your sentiment.

[@Buzzmancer]

@figglesnorf9 We sing rent songs all the time in class XD Teachers get annoyed because two girls and i sing it all the time or atleast we did. Was awesome, we were in psych and the prof was talking about something, when A girl was like akita, and me and another girl shouted out avita, and went into the song XD good memories.

Mario ducked when he saw his best friend, Link, with braces at high school in Ninth Grade. Narcissus fell in love with his reflection in the pool.

RENT does have a school adaption! They cut out Contact though.

[@EllieSp94]

@caitibug95 I know right? If they asked me which character I wanted to play it'd be Mark. It sucks. Oh well.

[@imnickjonascrazy101]

is this the play version or the movie cuz it doesnt sound liek the movies version at all

[@Jimbobman903]

@figglesnorf9 there is a schools edition. you could always ask.

[@StarChaser506]

0:00 through 0:18 is one of my faves parts...beside 0:00 through 8:03 X3

We are doing the "School version" of rent but fuck it I love this musical tooooo much!!!! I cant wait i wanna audition for Mark (=

[@kclantz]

@figglesnorf9 There is a school version. It's cleaner. We did it for the summer musical a couple years ago, so maybe you could do it it your principal is open-minded.

[@rockabyebyebaby21]

@dancelvr5003 Baggage means issues, AZT is an AIDS medication that they took in the movie.

[@AdrianSkyline]

@figglesnorf9 well my school didnt censor anything lol we cursed and everything

[@GoldDustedTears]

Why do all the best musicals have to be "too mature" for high school? Its not like most of us dont already know about all of this stuff!! RENT, SWEENEY TODD, AND REPO THE GENETIC OPERA, would all make great plays in high schools, as long as they could honor it correctly ;)

[@toriandtilly]

ok so I was specifically looking for the og broadway version and this is what popped up... is this it? are you sure? Mimi doesn't sound like Renee at all!

[@karmarenee999]

hahayourfunny94 renée was in the 2008 production. she wasnt the original broadway mimi

[@pjm9275]

Omg Renee wasn't the original Mimi. Wow. Do your research.

[@CapMan275]

@@pjm9275 I think hahayourfunny94 was using "Mimi doesn't sound like Renee at all!" as a reason to say it is the Broadway version and not the movie.

I think theyre said to be too "mature" for high school as an excuse, so that the greatest muscials wont be ruined by high school students, no offence

If you're in 7th grade why are you cursing? Please act your age and talk like a 7th grader should. It doesn't impress the older kids, it just makes them think you're obnoxious. Sincerely, a Junior in high school (16)
