THB #851: Moana

(Sung to “You’re Welcome,” with apologies to Lin-Manuel Miranda)

Okay, okay, I see what’s happening, yeah
You’re faced with defaced greatness, and it’s strange
You don’t even know how you feel
It’s adorable
Well, it’s nice to see that humans never change

Open your mind, let’s begin
Yes, it’s really live, Moana
Breathe it in
I know it’s a lot
Fake hair, fake bod
Though the actor is a demi-god

What can I say except, “It’s okay”
For the kids, the app, the cash
Hey, it’s okay, it’s okay
It’s okay
It’s just so ordinary, demi-good

Hey
What has great songs and thrilled your eye
When you were so much younger,
Critic guy?
When flicks left you cold
Who gave you one, that warmed your soul
You love that movie, yo!
(Oh!)
Also D-wayne de-livered fun
(You’re welcome)
To let you know that Disney wasn’t done
Also, grossed six forty-three
(Millions)
To fill the bank and your dis-ease

So what can I say except “it’s okay”
With its humans in a vast CG sea
So they felt no need to stray, it’s okay
(It’s okay)
(Ha)
So maybe just forget what you have seen
It’s okay
It’s okay

Well, come to think of it
Crit, honestly I could go on and on
I could explain ev’ry unnatural phenomenon
Fake tide, fake grass, fake ground
Oh, that was Disney just messing around
I hired the guy
From Hamilton
Went to Ha-wai-i, now see what he’s done
What’s the lesson?
What is the take-away?
Without a new voice, he chased all the crit-ics away

All the skills of Miranda, Lin
Blueprints for how the live movie could win
All the things in live that could happen
Feel a lot like more some more wallet-zappin’
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha, hey)

Well, anyway, let me say, “It’s okay” (it’s okay)
For the wonderful cast and the show
Hey, it’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay (it’s okay)
Even with green tomatoes thrown, they’re gonna go (hey)

Hey, it’s pay day so say, “It’s okay” (it’s okay)
‘Cause it’s better than most of the bloat
It’s opening day, Thursday, it’s okay (it’s okay)
‘Cause Moana animation has my vote.

It’s okay
(It’s okay)
It’s okay
(It’s okay)
And thank you
