I thought I was the only person who had this problem... apparently Sam Carner/Derek Gregor understand me.
I love this sooo much because despite the humour (lots of it) the ending is sweet and cute and I literally fail to not smile or laugh throughout this
Hi Shannon , hope you’re okay?
Gods, the comedic timing is just PERFECT. Thank you so much for this.
I’ve noticed that a select few have got a certain knack
A trick that speaks the way to all success
No matter what my other gifts
Its a secret that I lack
And until I get it right ill kind of be a mess
The problem I face everyday is what do I do with my arms
They just hang there getting in the way
And the whole games getting old
If you gesture too much you look freaking crazy
Fold em you’re distant and cold
Put em in you’re pockets now you look lazy
Like a person who’ll never be bold
The next a cinch
Look left and right but what do you do with your arms
I puff my chest tuck my stomach tight
But even my doctor calls my upper arm humorous
The legs are straight forward I think we all get em
They can stand they can sit they can skip if you let em
You cross em re-cross em and if the mood is right spread em
But what do you do with your arms
I never seem to figure it out despite the years I’ve tried to rehearse
But if I ever got it right I’d be queen of the universe
Now I’m up here at centre stage
And what do I do with my arms
I wanna reach out and fully engage
But it’s hard to reach out with your arms
I don’t wanna be stiff
I don’t wanna be static
I want expand
Make my gestures dramatic
But somehow it all ends up vaguely aquatic
What am I doing wring with my arms
Ive taken up knitting and long distance swimming
Ive taken up smoking ive taken up booze
Gone bobbing for apples tried getting arrested
Surrounded myself with Italians and Jews
Ive taken up praying and hitting pinyatas
The YMCA dance the tomahawk chop
In high school I did twirling and made lots of boys happy
And ive taken up billiards and bar fights and yoga
Last halloween even dressed up as Jesus
Step danced for hours and hours on end
Until the lady downstairs who was near 94 shouted up through the ceiling “for fucks sake just stop”
I thought she was deaf
For one blissful month that still uncerpassed
I fell down some stairs ended up in a cast
It was such sweet relief
But it healed up so fast
Why do the best things in life never last
I know that I can rule the lands
If I knew what to do with my arms
Im sure I could figure out the hands
But what do you do with not one but two
With elbows and shoulders and wrists attached
That bend in funny places and are awkwardly matched
I try and I try but its always unsightly
No matter what it all comes out wrong
Guess ill give up and just wrap them tightly around you all night long!
Thanks so much!!
It's: even my doctor calls my upper arm humerus. The humerus the bone in your upper arm. At least I think that is what she meant.
@@proclaimingthetruth4506 yes!! Autocorrect ahh!
Thanks for typing this out! I appreciate it. :) I got one correction for you. It's the 'Neck's a Cinch' instead of the word 'Next'. That section of the song the singer talks about different body parts.
I close my eyes and I see a disney princess
TheBarbieViolet honestly tho
you should of heard her as Marian in Music Man, its actually magical. Like legit an out of body experience!!!
I close my eyes and I can't see anything
Her voice is just so enchanting and clear, and the song is funny and sad
She'd be perfect to sing a Disney Princess
Danielle is so talented.
She sounds like she’d make a great Glinda
this is the song i never knew i needed in my life bc SAME
I randomly thought of this watching her singing on stage on TH-cam seeing her swinging her arms and I am very glad that reminded me of this
I'm seeing mixture of Jessie Mueller and Christy Altomare
Olina Bye and a little of Kara Lindsay.
i’m seeing a bit of anna kendrick
yeah i definitely see Christy! both very talented women!!
You have such. Stand-out voice.
Oh wait, this is not her channel. She does...
Danielle’s Amazing on the Mean Girls tour 😄
I relate to this on a spiritual level.
You realy can find a starkid fan anywhere music is being played
skyjoe66 It’s true.
Oh my gosh that ending blew me away! 😭
Congrats on scoring the lead for Mean Girls!!!
Hi kate,hope you’re okay?
I love the performance, I love the attitude and voice :D an instant favorite for me! Just thought the ending or 'resolution' of the song came a bit out of the blue.
the ending was so cute
She looks a lot like Christy Altomare.
YES
Hey, it's been 6 years, did she ever figure out what to do with her arms?
Good question. I mean on Broadway she seemed to have figured it out😂
Hi Emily ,hope you’re okay?
I just saw her in mean girls and it looked like she did.
She's so amazing!!
my anthem oh my jesus
This song gives me Gertrude McFuzz vibes, ironically enough
thank You, great singing and acting!
Moooood
AMAZING! Sam and Derek, I have literally discovered your music yesterday - and I'm already obsessed! Such a talented duo of writers. I'm a mezzo/alto myself, so if you have any particular recommendations of songs of yours to purchase...? Ha! I've got a massive list of things to buy from the site anyway, I love your music so much! :D
Again - wow.
Sarah Lucy P. Xx
I was excited to play Zangara in Assassins because my arms would be strapped down...
But the director decided I should be standing for the song. 😒
So close.
Now I have to learn what to do with my arms.
Finally a song for me lol
Brilliant
amazing
Hi jules,hope you’re okay?
Crazy that she is now on broadway
My saving is holding the mic

I just look up this song on a phone and go to "related to your search". To find even more just repeat the process for whatever songs you find the first time
hi just wondering which key Danielle sings this in (I am about to buy the sheet music off your website and I want to get it right?)

Good now my arms are getting in the way in everything I did
Hello kyle,hope you’re okay?
I can’t find the lyrics on google
I couldn't either, so I tried writing it down myself. English isn't my first language, so I'm sorry if there's mistakes in the lyrics, but here's what I heard
I’ve noticed that a select few
have got a certain nack
A trick that speeds the way to all success
No matter what my other gifts
It’s a secret that I lack
And until I get it right
I’ll kind of be a mess
The problem I face every day
Is what do I do with my arms
They just hang there getting in the way
And the whole game’s getting old
If you gesture too much
You look freaking crazy
Fold them you’re distant and cold
Put them in your pockets and now you look lazy
Like a person who’ll never be bold
The next singe
Look left or right
But what do you do with your arms
I puff my chest, suck my stomach tight
But even my doctor calls my upper arm humorous
The legs are straight forward
I think we all get ‘em
They can stand, they can sit, they can skip if you let ‘em
You cross em, we cross em, if the mood is right spread ‘em
But what do you do with your arms
I never seemed to figure it out
Despite the years I’ve tried to rehearse
But if I ever got it right
I’d be queen of universe
Now I’m up here at center stage
And what do I do with my arms

Last Halloween even dressed up as Jesus
Stepdanced for hours and hours on end till the lady downstairs who was near 94 shouted up through the ceiling for fucks sake just stop
I thought she was deaf
For one blessfull month
That’s still unsurpassed
I fell down some stairs
Ended up in a cast
It was such sweet relief
But it healed up so fast
Why do the best things in life never last
I know that I could rule the lands
If I knew what to do with my arms
I’m sure I’ll figure out the hands

With elbows and shoulders and wrists attached

Around you all night long
@@shauneyscream they're both in another comment
@@livelaughlove0209 now they are, when I posted this, that comment didn't exist
Shauney Scream Thanks for posting these for all us!
😁🤣☺️🙃🥳🤩
Sorry to the people who love this thing, but I literally want to know what to do rather than hear a bunch of people singing my question without answering it 😂
the longer you look at her arms during the song the weirder they look
I see bi lights
The mood is right, spread them. 😂😂
This sorta sounds like a mlp song
When auditioning: What. Do. I. Do. With. My. ARMS. Don’t want to seem contrived or forced or stiff or awkward or overly dramatic. How to make it look unrehearsed and natural. Fucking arms. Lol.

lorelai gilmore.
VIBES
Pete Buttigieg can relate
I’m looking for songs for competition I did not expect to find you here haha
Blah
I really enjoy this...but it's vaguely racist in parts...Not sure how to feel about that.
It is? How?
Get off the internet
@@juniperbliss5228 Well, the Tomahawk Chop being used for sports and sporting spectators is culturally insensitive, unfortunately.
She reminds me a lot of Kara Lindsay
