Will Roland performing "Goin' Viral", at cut song from Dear Evan Hansen, at 54 Below on 2/19/18. This was the first time that the song has been performed for a live audience.
NoItsBecky 127 I cosplay Evan a lot and usually wear gray uggs, so... well, uggs are not easy to do the Sincerely Me dance in, I can tell you that much
NoItsBecky 127 fanfics and cosplay and... the parody versions of songs I’m working on with a friend, I guess? But yeah, I tried to jump in the uggs and almost fell over.
CaseyBasis Yeah, apparently they were scrapped because Ben Platt couldn’t do the Sincerely Me dance in them, and well, I’ll take the show with the dance in it
I love Jared but this whole song is mainly just him being an ass lmao. Kinda glad it got cut, it’s a great song but I think Jared’s character in the musical is good without a douchebag song. ( again Issa bop but like it makes Jared much more of an ass lol )
Y'all who think Jared is being an ass. Think about the lyrics. Think about Jared trying to explain the only way he knows how that Evan spreading the letters is a bad idea for these reasons. He's warning him. "your life will go viral."
The song isn't about Evan spreading the letter though. In the video where Will explains the context of the song, it's after Connor stole the letter and it's about how Connor could ruin Evan's life with it. So in a way I think it's not so much a warning as it is Jared just kinda worsening whatever anxiety Evan probably already had about Connor seeing the letter by saying "oh yeah and here's every way it can go wrong" while simultaneously lightly roasting him. Even though Evan can't stop it from spreading even if he wants to. That's kinda what makes me look at that and think "wow what an asshole"
It's not the way they choose to see it; that's actually what the song was originally about. It wasn't about Evan spreading the letters, it was about Connor getting a hold of the original letter.
they had to cut the ensemble that went with it and it didn’t sound as good or something idk but if you search “will roland sings and explains going viral” that’s gives you a lot of context
Sadly most of the ensemble for this got fired and it didn’t really sound good without them plus it didn’t fit very well anymore with such a small cast. You should look at “ will Roland goin viral explanation “ it goes into more detail
because when you find out that what you’re doing in a 4 minutes punk rock musical fantasia can be done in a 30 second scene you go with a 30 second scene
The DEH movie needs to play this DEEP in the credits to reward the true fans. Then at the end, Will Roland comes out of the shower and says, "SHIT, YOU'RE STILL HERE?!? IT'S OVER! GO THE FUCK HOME!"
before i knew this was a thing, i spent an entire gym period ranting to my friend on how jared deserved his own solo and now i see that he HAD on and it was CUT.
"trust me dude, that shit will linger, worse than Charlie bit my finger," Masterpiece, I tell ya. Masterpiece. (ESPECIALLY because it's Jared's own song)
I love this song! I feel like if they added it to the show it could have possibly been a song for comedic relief in a sense. I know we have sincerely me and the reprise but this song would have been so cool in the musical. I would love to see this song with some short of dance choreography.
will roland is so talented like wow. he’s seems like such a a charming person online and yet acts like an ass onstage (and like also lonely) likes he’s such an incredible actor AND SINGER like WOW
Koi Fish Dot Jpg I agree we should have the song, but Larry's solo is super important. Idk why they cut it, there's a lot less songs in deh than most musicals
cat They mainly cut it because all the ensemble got fired and it just didn’t sound right with such little cast. If you wanna hear more look for wills explanation before the song, someone’s uploaded it I believe
Is it bad I'm listening to this while trying to binge watch season 5 of voltron while I'm sick otherwise my friend will spoil the show for me but I'm to obsessed with this song to turn it off?
okay say it with me yall: JARED KLEINMAN DESERVED HIS OWN MUSICAL NUMBER
annie JARED KLEINMAN DESERVED HIS OWN MUSICAL NUMBER

bella bennett h e h a s o n e
HE HAD HIS OWN SONG. JARED HAD HIS OWN SONG. JARED SONG. HE HAD A SONG. HE SANG. A SONG. A JARED SONG. A SONG HE SANG. JARED HAD A SONG.
I know it’s probably for the better but I’m so sad that Will doesn’t have his own song 😭
@@Ozloz the closest thing is him playing jerhemy in Be More Chill
They'll be dressed like you for Halloween
*khakis and those fucking shoes*
woa hey dude
RobinEgggs what makes it better is that I heard that evan used to wear uggs. *those fucking shoes were uggs*

You know he had to do it to em
He actually did. In the workshop version of "Waving Through a Window" he notices Zoey staring at his feet
The smartphone hour of DEH
Right that's exactly what I thought
YES
YES-
ST177 HEY EVERYBODY HAVE YOU HEARD EVAN HANSEN MADE A SPEECH NOW GO SPREAD THE WORD
Oh my gosh yes
"dear evan hansen, it turns out that i'm a huge loser and my life is an unforgiving nightmare that will seemingly never end."
Is ANYONE ELSE getting a Bo Burnham vibe?
Pikachu Ketchum one of the lines is actually the exact one bo used in 'Welcome to TH-cam.'
I am!
Ahh same!
Nah.
Chara which lyric?
Poor Will thought he was going to get fired..
JayB_roadway poor will
What?
I love his reaction tho.
@@mercedesgulley355 there's a video where he explains how the song was cut before he sings it and he thought he was getting fired instead
Still find it funny up to bow lol
The part when he says “the kids will dress up like you for Halloween” I’m just like
“....but....don’t we already do that??”
Mianha Varela LoL
cosplayers enter NOW
"every soccer mom in omaha" DONT SAY THAT NAME ANDREW RANNELLS WILL HEAR YOU
Milo Everett Smith O M A H A N E B R A S K A
YASS
I was thinking the same thing!
Milo Everett Smith SKSKSKS
He’s probably one of those likes
I mis heard the part as when Will sang "Now everyone knows your name" as "Now everyone knows you're gay!"
Michael is burning in the bathroom your name has me dead, but that is a good point
Why is Michael burning?
Awkward Dinosaur because Michael considered staying in the bathroom during the fire
i was going to change my user but google became a dick and said I can't change my channel name anymore
and that is where my legacy begins
Cameron this makes me sadddd
I could understand if they thought it didn't fit the musical, but Jared still deserved his own song
This an accurate depiction of what will happen to Logan Paul after he goes bankrupt.
Nyan DogeNerd OH MY GOD YES XD
I just screeched and my moms on the phone for work in the room next to me
Nyan DogeNerd basically
Oh my god what an accurate description
AHAHAHAHAHH
1:53 *VIRAL VIRAL VI*-ral-
And suddenly my will to live has appeared
Jella same
also haha puns
your what to live?
your WILL to live haha
Jella I see what ya did there ;)
hehe
I can't believe we were robbed of Evan's Uggs
NoItsBecky 127 I cosplay Evan a lot and usually wear gray uggs, so... well, uggs are not easy to do the Sincerely Me dance in, I can tell you that much
CaseyBasis That explains it
I'm still lowkey salty tho
Well we have fanfics for a reason I guess
NoItsBecky 127 fanfics and cosplay and... the parody versions of songs I’m working on with a friend, I guess? But yeah, I tried to jump in the uggs and almost fell over.
CaseyBasis Yeah, apparently they were scrapped because Ben Platt couldn’t do the Sincerely Me dance in them, and well, I’ll take the show with the dance in it
jared warning and, in a way, trying to help evan is my aesthetic
In what way is that helping?😂
I love Jared but this whole song is mainly just him being an ass lmao. Kinda glad it got cut, it’s a great song but I think Jared’s character in the musical is good without a douchebag song. ( again Issa bop but like it makes Jared much more of an ass lol )
I WOULD SELL MY SOUL TO GET A PROFESSIONALLY RECORDED OF THIS SONG
*RECORDED VERSION
Since Ben Platt first auditioned for the role of Jared there is a chance Ben sang this song at some point in history so LIFE is a POSSIBILITY
Need this-
PLEASE PUT THIS ON ITUNES
Annie Elburn I KNOW RIGHT I NEED THIS
Heck yea,
SPOTIFY
bella bennett IS IT ON SPOTIFY?! Or are you just saying you want it on Spotify?
Suz_ Draws there’s no official recording of Going Viral (hopefully they’ll make one)
Y'all who think Jared is being an ass. Think about the lyrics. Think about Jared trying to explain the only way he knows how that Evan spreading the letters is a bad idea for these reasons. He's warning him. "your life will go viral."

Shinji Ikari If you choose to see it that way, go for it.
Connor Parra Where in the hell did you get that idea?
It's not the way they choose to see it; that's actually what the song was originally about. It wasn't about Evan spreading the letters, it was about Connor getting a hold of the original letter.
Lillie Alicea no u
this is why jared needs to be a squip
honestly jared would be my squip
Bruh Jared already is my Squip
I WAS HAVING A BAD DAY
...I AM NO LONGER HAVNG A BAD DAY

Flee to Bombay...IS THAT AN ACCIDENTAL REFERENCE TO BMC I SPOT
When Rich set a fire and he fled to Bombay, when Rich set a fire cause he knew he was gay!!!
Eh it's an expression thats used for internet celebrities, so it isn't just used for BMC
not everything is a be more chill reference
helen white - full time trash dunno
Michael is burning in the bathroom well they said accidental..
the one dislike is Connor’s ghost 😤😤
And my quest to have this memorised begins
Charlotte Beavers your pfp SKSKSKSJS
THAT LAST NOTE. AHHHH
No,,,,, put this back in the show,,,, please,,,,,,,
You're out here doin the lord's work
I like this more than most of the actual songs in deh honestly
TyrantKokichi evan is the real liar, not you ouma
celestia ludenberg alright taeko yasuhiro, you keep telling yourself that
2:16
RICH SET A FIRE AND HE FLED TO BOMBAY
LPSHinageshi Thank you! I was trying to think of where else I’ve heard that
RICH SET A FIRE BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WAS GAY
emmathealien HOUSE!
I READ THIS JUST AS IT SAID THAT
The smart phone hour of Dear Evan Hansen
Jenexi pretty much
THIS IS THE ONLY THING IVE EVER LIVED FOR
WHY WAS THIS CUT IT IS BEAUTY
they had to cut the ensemble that went with it and it didn’t sound as good or something idk but if you search “will roland sings and explains going viral” that’s gives you a lot of context
That One Awkward Girl AYYYY
My thoughts exactly
OMG JARED GOT HIS OWN SONG WHY DIDNT THIS GET TO GO IN THE SHOW?!
Sadly most of the ensemble for this got fired and it didn’t really sound good without them plus it didn’t fit very well anymore with such a small cast. You should look at “ will Roland goin viral explanation “ it goes into more detail
I KNOW RIGHT
because when you find out that what you’re doing in a 4 minutes punk rock musical fantasia can be done in a 30 second scene you go with a 30 second scene
@@Intrusivemov why did the ensemble get fired?
I got up this morning and saw this video and it was the best thing to wake up to ever
They cast Niki Dodani as Jared in the DEH movie. A crime! This is Will’s role!!!
The DEH movie needs to play this DEEP in the credits to reward the true fans.
Then at the end, Will Roland comes out of the shower and says, "SHIT, YOU'RE STILL HERE?!? IT'S OVER! GO THE FUCK HOME!"
They cast someone else as Jared. The gay Indian guy from Murphy Brown.
This dude is playing Jeremy in the new Be More Chill and I’m honestly living for it👌🏻
That moment when I realized... I've been listening and singing this on repeat all day... Since yesterday
i want this professionally recorded and put on spotify its so fuckin catchy & iconic
I love how Will does his own effects and I love the way he swears
before i knew this was a thing, i spent an entire gym period ranting to my friend on how jared deserved his own solo and now i see that he HAD on and it was CUT.
I have played this over 100 times in the span of under 24 hours and I’m sure I have a problem
Princess TM it has played in my head to the point I have sung it in public for the last 3, so I understand
If they kept this song, it would’ve been a nice relief from everything else being sad
A moment of appreciation for the girl who does an extra viral at 1:55
LMAO I GOT INTO DEH LIKE OVER 3 YEARS AGO AND I MEMORIZED THIS SONG AND I FORGOT ABOUT IT UNTIL TONIGHT AND I STILL REMEMBER IT OMG IM DYING.
We need a theater who uses this song in a DEH preformce
"trust me dude, that shit will linger, worse than Charlie bit my finger,"
Masterpiece, I tell ya. Masterpiece. (ESPECIALLY because it's Jared's own song)
So Jared did have his own somg but they cut it? Wow
Why is this so gorgeous. I love you Will Roland. Thank you for this.
Now all I need is a lyric video for this. 😂
Let just wait for amazing animatic for this :3
I'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR A RECORDING OF THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH BLESS YOUR SOUL
He cleared my skin and watered my crops. Gave me the will to live.
when I tell you I had the biggest smile on my face through that whole song-
His little stomp at the key change though 👌👌
My mom watched this and she laughed so hard I was confused. She knows the show pretty well, and was so excited to see this.
Omfg he’s gonna star in BMC on Broadway I’m so fucking excited
Who knew in 2018 we’d get Will Roland belting “fucked” on a high B lmao
this is the littest thing I’ve ever listened to omg
I love this song! I feel like if they added it to the show it could have possibly been a song for comedic relief in a sense. I know we have sincerely me and the reprise but this song would have been so cool in the musical. I would love to see this song with some short of dance choreography.
2:17 - when evan told a lie
1:56 i think it's very important to note that in the original script, evan wore uggs.
Flew to Bombay...ACTUALLY SMARTPHONE HOUR OF DEH YES
I'M LIVING RIGHT NOW
Also
JARED IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL
I NEED TYPED LYRICS OMGGG I LOVE
At the start it sounded lile a mix of avril lavine and taylor swift. By the end it kinda had a heathers feel. I love it so much
The 11 dislikes are just Evan on different accounts
this is all ive ever wanted
The one dislike.. 🔪🔪🔪
woop i dressed up as Evan for character day.
frannie talks too much it’s fine! I was dressed as Evan in the audience (with the original shoes) so you’re not alone in that at all
CaseyBasis haha! I may or may not have went out and bought “those fucking shoes” just for it! (I needed new sneakers anyway though)
frannie talks too much I actually don’t mean the sneakers? I used uggs, the original shoes... I’m sorry
CaseyBasis EVAN ORIGINALLY HAD UGGS? I had no idea!
*sees the massive dumpster fire that the internet caused in recent years*
....we needed this song, RIGHT NOW
Thank you so much for uploading this!!
will roland is so talented like wow. he’s seems like such a a charming person online and yet acts like an ass onstage (and like also lonely) likes he’s such an incredible actor AND SINGER like WOW
WHY DOES THIS HAVE ONLY 3K LIKES
i’ve listened to this song a million times and i still barely understand what is happening but it’s great
Will belting "you are fucked!" at the end is a whole mood
This should've been recorded and put on the album with the other removed song
WHY WAS THIS CUT I NEED THIS!!!!
The little head bobbin at the beginning
I CANT STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!
THANK U FOR UPLOADING THIS
PROFESSIONAL RECORDING WHEN?
Hopefully it'll be in the Deluxe album coming out next month (10/18)
Anyone else love the way Will says “god it’ll spread like fuckin HPV?”
Should have been in the final cut cowards. Larry didn’t need a solo
Koi Fish Dot Jpg I agree we should have the song, but Larry's solo is super important. Idk why they cut it, there's a lot less songs in deh than most musicals
cat
They mainly cut it because all the ensemble got fired and it just didn’t sound right with such little cast. If you wanna hear more look for wills explanation before the song, someone’s uploaded it I believe
While I enjoy this song, it’s really not necessary for the story.
ngl i listen to this so much
I LOVE THIS OMGGG
i still need a professional recording of this song
“cause it’ll spread like fuckin’ hpv” I FUCKING LOST IT I LOVE THIS
I think the redhead was a little scared of Will but was also kinda attracted.
Is it bad I'm listening to this while trying to binge watch season 5 of voltron while I'm sick otherwise my friend will spoil the show for me but I'm to obsessed with this song to turn it off?
He's so worried about this letter and then I look at him and I break into a three-minute musical number.
this is such a bop
"And OH - YOU KNOOWWW..."
"...YOU'RE LIVING IN AMERRRRIICAAAHH - AT THE END OF THE MILLENNIIIUUUMM-"
Oops, wrong musical!
I hear it now. I cannot unhear it.
"Or when a fat girl falls" *Will casually points to girl next to him as she gives death stare* o shi
fellas i do believe this is one is a *BOP*
Wish it was in the musical😔
“Flee to Bombay” ... heh
Rich? Never heard of her
