This is one of my favorite songs from "Hairspray" (the 2007 musical movie). I couldn't find a version on TH-cam that had subtitles/lyrics, so I added them myself.
Tracy's character was truly amazing. She didn't just claim to like black people and enjoy black culture but stand on the side when she witnessed the issues that black people face, she actively participated in trying to help them overcome these problems and for society to accept colored people just as they accept whites, even though it meant trouble for her. this is what needs to happen today; white people who claim to be against racism should be active in trying to help put an end to the prejudice and trials colored people face instead of just saying "it happened in the past, get over it". take note America.
RedGangster23 me too coz my sis had a really large crush on Zac so we just kept watching. But I didn't understand it well coz I was like 6 or 7 yrs old when I first saw this
So when I first watched this movie, this song got stuck in my head. That week at work I kept singing “the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice” randomly out loud . And one time when I did it this Black male customer heard me and said “dam right girl” smiled at me and left. I laughed like crazy. Such a great moment.
"I won't ask you to be colorblind", I love it. More problems could be fixed if we recognized, celebrated, and appreciated differences rather than hating or trying to ignore them.

I remember watching this when I was younger and just sing Little Inez's part over and over again. She just seemed so chill and cool to little, snow-white me and I wanted to be her lmao
mariaarakal yea, I’m a 13 yrs old girl and I’ve got the part as Seaweed, and my best friend is Penny. I don’t know how I’m gonna keep up with a legend Like Elijah Kelly.😂
Lets all pay due props to the true icon of this film. Little Inez. She slayed literally every time. I love that she is the one who wins the Miss Hairspray pageant at the end instead of Tracy. She really was the most talented one.
Meagan Moura Hairspray Live was closer to the Broadway version than the movie. I think they're both charming in a way. Musicals are normally 2-3 hours long with the interlude... Movies are shorter and edited.
Whoever was the casting director for this film done such a great job finding the perfect Tracy,link,penny and seaweed. Great cast! Full of talented actors, singers and dancers. My favourite musical ever😀😀
This is one of my favorite parts of the movie because it shows exactly how different African American people were treated just for a living! This movie deserves all the hype it gets
I'll never get tired of watching this hip video clip time and time again.The entire scene is extremely astonishing,dashing,and refreshing all the way.Both Elijah Kelley and Taylor Parks truly stand out in their very energetic,frenetic,and fantastic production number. I've to congratulate the choreographer Mr Adam Shankman and the song writers Mr Marc Shaiman / Mr Scott Wittman for their ingenious,meticulous,and conspicuous works so as to come up with completely fabulous song-and-dance sequences. Even if it took them and the entire casts two months to rehearse and to perfect all the musical scenes in the 2007 Hairspray, the outcome becomes heartily astounding,resounding,and rewarding. I can run and tell that Hairspray is one of the finest and greatest musical movies that I've ever seen.
Love this movie & love what Tracy stood for, standing up for what she believed was right, even though she knew the price she'd have to pay and the trouble she would be in as well as her family. She did the right thing and fought for justice and equality. This movie is epic!
A girl from my school (back when I was in high school) brought this movie on the bus for our class trip and I sang this. The girl was sitting next to me and said she thought I had a good voice. it made my day. Best song by the way.
when i was 10 my mom bought the dvd for my bday, and no joke, i would watch this movie like 20 times a day with no breaks lol 😂 like right when it ended i would replay the movie for the wholeeee day
I liked seaweed and penny relationship it's lovely but I will always love link and tracy relationship better cause of the fact he loves her for her qualities her self confidence her sense of humour and inside beauty and he doesn't care about her weight
Im stunned because ive seen this when i was little, but now that im older i can appreciate the capability in his voice, why don't we hear more from him my god!
I wish this was how ppl communicated. Just musicals all around.
ugh same
That would awesome omg
T Stanton
I agree, but some people can't sing. *Cough, Cough* ME *cough*
I feel the same way. Especially during Les Mis when the barricade boys are rallying themselves up. Motivational musical speeches haha
The part where Link tries to dance with the girl in the beginning is painful to watch.
Thought I was the only one!
I seriously have to look away
thank God I'm not the only one
True girl, he can't dance for shit 😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao indeed it is
While all the girls was fangirling over Zac, I had my eyes on Elijah Kelley 😍
Yessssssssssss
When I first saw this I liked both of them, but now I'd take Elijah over Zac any day!!!
ariana me encanta tu musica
Nataly Martinez Ramos jajaja no soy Ariana Grande. Yo admiro ariana :)

We ALL need a Tracy Turnblad in our souls
couldn't have said it better!
You said it 100%

This song makes me proud to be black! What strong vocals, omg.
Me to . I swear imma make a dancing video to this man. I'm proud to be dark skinned . I don't care who judges me
+Rexy Rapper I'm black 👩🏽
True, black people have usually better singing skills

Asked my grandma if she danced like this when she was young. She said "of course!" LMAO!
Go grams !!!
My 68 year-old grandma got up and danced this with me
They danced like mad and grew up swing dancing and flying in the air and landing in kitten heels. It's why they now have walkers haha
@@juliannehannes11 😂😂😂
Your grams is awesome ❤
"I'm tired of covering up all my pride.. so give me five on the black hand side" I like that!!✊🏿
Dennis Tate "I'm tired of covering up all my pride.. so give me five on the black hand side " I like that!!🥊
That's why in so excited for this role, but it's a lot to live up to. People are expecting these power notes and strong voice and I'm lowkey scared
Me too
Aye I killed that ish, I had people clapping!
GOOD FOR YOU OMG!!! Congrats@@Annuii.i
Who would've guessed the kids who all attend this school were also professionally trained dancers
I would be scared to attend that school, cause my dancing would look shitty :D
+ZomIIXC lol "Not Another Teen Movie"
KwanKwan Katzuca 7 months later, someone finally someone caught the reference!!!
ZomIIXC Of course! Love that movie. Plus it was said by the actor that plays Ted from "how i met your mother" so that helps remember it.
Zom 😄
0:32 That girl face when Link said "Damn just when I was getting it" Lmao the SHADE..
Shay Alexx I'm crying😂
Shay Alexx that was the best face in this movie
Shay Alexx I
Get em a pair of sunglasses cuz she just threw some SHADE
Seaweed killed with that split. Once in a lifetime.
Letago Modiba LOL
I can’t do the splits
It was so nice for seaweed to take out the Lollipop so she didn't choke on it when she was passed out.
True
Love that
Inez is a queen I wish I can sing like her!!!!
She is and she still being queen

favorite part of the song xD
NYlife1022 Now Inez is a singer called Tayla Parx, if you like it go to listen his music 💕 please she is so underrated
That's my favorite part 2
Same its my favorite part too
I have a dance to this song and I’m always singing that part in school and everyone gets so confused, I love that part too though🧡
@@lavender1872 Her name is Taylor Parks
Seaweed was my sexual awakening as a child lol
Rachel Steinke Amen.
Hahahhahaha love this comment
Penny's too XD
Always the best hair spray version
Lovely Chi honestly I like to think it’s the only version
Angelina Laramie there are 3 versions
You guys are young. The best was with Ricki Lake when they actually filmed it in Baltimore.
Carla W I guess I am just young. I find that one boring and not as energetic as the 2007 version
@@arilovah Even though I'm late to the conversation, but the 2007 version is the best.
I remember when I used to have a crush on seaweed 😍
tooLIT I still do😂😂😂😁
Why?????

She is! That's Tayla Parx
It's Me, Abi THATS TAYLA PARX WHATTTTT
Yeah id love to have them pipes im good i singing but i dont believe it and my friends and the music teacher who is my best friends mom say i do
@@Noah-rq3xt YES!
I saw her singing with Ariana Grande before and was like, "IS THAT INEZ?!"
I remember watching this when I was younger and just sing Little Inez's part over and over again. She just seemed so chill and cool to little, snow-white me and I wanted to be her lmao
OMG I thought I was the only one, I remember being shocked at well she sand being that young
L I T E R A L L Y also damn your icon is a beautiful egg💖
Me too!
I mostly watch this movie for the Seaweed X Penny romance.
Doesn't everyone 😅
That ending with Seaweed "pulling" Penny in was so sexy tho
mariaarakal lmao and no one saw how she almost fainted twice 😂😂😂😂 the last time no one was there to catch her
mariaarakal And he kissed his finger and put it on Penny’s lips.
mariaarakal yea, I’m a 13 yrs old girl and I’ve got the part as Seaweed, and my best friend is Penny. I don’t know how I’m gonna keep up with a legend
Like Elijah Kelly.😂
😂😂😂😆😆😆
dude got game!
Lets all pay due props to the true icon of this film. Little Inez. She slayed literally every time. I love that she is the one who wins the Miss Hairspray pageant at the end instead of Tracy. She really was the most talented one.
Am I the only one who got chills from the moment Inez started singing. That airy and slightly raspy texture to her voice is just perfect
Yeah she’s awsome. And she was only what?? Like 13 in this film???
Dat jump doe.
Also penny was just under his spell. I'm a boy, but this guy is kinda handsome and I wish I could be like him in some aspects.
even the comb over?
@@janehoe_ that wasn't a comb over
lmao those are waves
Just watched hairspray live. Wasn't too bad but I prefer the movie a lot more
saaaaaaaaaaaammmmeeee
Meagan Moura Hairspray Live was closer to the Broadway version than the movie. I think they're both charming in a way. Musicals are normally 2-3 hours long with the interlude... Movies are shorter and edited.

I love this movie along with Hairspray Live. My favorite character is Seaweed.
@@lavender1872 yes
I've this movie dozens of time, and only now noticed I noticed that the WHITES are sitting at the back of the bus. Subtle.
The whites could sit, the darkskinned needed to stand.
Yeeeeaaah, that's why Seaweed and everyone carries on dancing?
Symbolism FTW
Omg I never noticed that
I was eating chocolate when i randomly remember this lmao ..the darker the chocolate the richer the taste :P
Amina AA 😂
everytime😂😂
This was when Amanda Byrnes was normal,god I miss her.
what happened to her!!
ARMY SWEG how was i a dick tho?
ARMY SWEG honestly i didn't know she had a mental disorder,but having a mental disorder isn't normal,this is why its treated so seriously
ksj I have bipolar and i know I’m not normal😂 remove the stick from your arse. There is a reason we take meds...
clint johnson she was never normal just a little less crazy
I watch this just to hear Inez they should've given her more parts
Ariel Brooks I agree
Ariel Brooks Now Inez is a singer called Tayla Parx, if you like it go to listen his music 💕 please she is so underrated
Seaweed is actually so hot though, gawwwwwd. I'm kind of just a giggling mess over here.
8 years later and that wink that Link gives Tracy still makes me melt.
so nobody wondering how tf he jumped that high
Blossom Blair I am
Movie magic
Lmao i absolutely wondered
My brother can do that. He does it a lot.
Uh yeah no
Whoever was the casting director for this film done such a great job finding the perfect Tracy,link,penny and seaweed. Great cast! Full of talented actors, singers and dancers. My favourite musical ever😀😀
I love the way that at the end, Link and Tracy have the time to look at each other and smile before they remember, "Oh! Penny just fainted!"
little inez knows whats up
Caitlin Robinson

Lil' Inez's voice. My singing goals. Along with Angelica Schuyler. (I'm Asian so..)

I agree
Yeah it is good isn't it?
I also love this movie
ELIJAH'S VOCALS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elijah Kelley can sure sing and dance...WOW...The Blacker the Berry The Sweeter The Juice and the MORE TALENT!...
came here after hairspray live because the live version of this song seemed really dragged out & i needed to hear this
Damn...That jump.
Ikr
I swear I used to think that they pulled him up on strings for that jump!
Goldenrod City Broadcasting woe......
The entertainment industry slept on Elijah Kelley. He's AMAZING!! I would have loved to see him more
Man, that guy is so good. I love his voice!
This is easily one of the top 3 songs in this show/movie.
"Is it safe for people like us?..."
*crickets*
In 4 minutes Elijah Kelly shows us he can do...anything and everything
Man has those pipes!! Hairspray is one of my favorite musicals man
Those vocals ugh save me
This is one of my favorite parts of the movie because it shows exactly how different African American people were treated just for a living! This movie deserves all the hype it gets
Penny was so thirsty lol
She wanted some chocolate milk
Juice*
prince blood 😁😂😂
She just wanted coffee with her cream lol
probably one of my favorite songs from hairspray! He is such an incredible singer!
the irony in link asking if its safe im glad they touched on that !!
We did a production of Hairspray at my school, my boyfriend was Seaweed and just...god, I was so proud of him and this song makes me smile so much.
Elijah Kelly is so talented!
Inez's voice give me chills EVERY time I hear this song!
Never seen this movie but I had to see Elijah Kelly and man can he blow...
you seriously need to watch this movie... it's AWESOME!!!!! :)
V8carfreak Naw I don"t like remakes...
classicstorm It's a great remake, but to each his own.
***** I strongly dislike remakes that's why it will suck for me...remakes are always stupid to me...
***** i didn't know it was a re-make.. haven't seen the original one but heyy this is one hell of a movie :)
I'll never get tired of watching this hip video clip time and time again.The entire scene is extremely astonishing,dashing,and refreshing all the way.Both Elijah Kelley and Taylor Parks truly stand out in their very energetic,frenetic,and fantastic production number. I've to congratulate the choreographer Mr Adam Shankman and the song writers Mr Marc Shaiman / Mr Scott Wittman for their ingenious,meticulous,and conspicuous works so as to come up with completely fabulous song-and-dance sequences. Even if it took them and the entire casts two months to rehearse and to perfect all the musical scenes in the 2007 Hairspray, the outcome becomes heartily astounding,resounding,and rewarding.

looorddddd Elijah😍😍😭 and he in the new edition movie lawwwdd😭😭😭😭💜💜💜
Omg I just realized that Tracy, Link, and Penny were sitting in the back of the bus 😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That wink ;)
CuriouslyAshley what pixel is that
this is the best song of the movie
Elijah Kelley will always be my favorite. I mean, come on, THAT VOICE!
this song is so good, my jam omg
I'm so waiting for the wiz. Please let Elijah kelly sing you can't win!
they are remaking the wiz??? YEAHHHHHH
XxxlilmizzzxxX they already did
Elijah Kelley is so underrated, dude sang the hell out this song, hands down best version
that girl can sing! the end when she wins Miss Hairspray '62 always puts a big smile on my face! sooo cute!
I played Amber over the summer and hairspray is just such a fun show to do. INEZ'S VOICE IS MY EVERYTHING
A girl from my school (back when I was in high school) brought this movie on the bus for our class trip and I sang this. The girl was sitting next to me and said she thought I had a good voice. it made my day. Best song by the way.
After Hairspray Live, I keep coming back to this...#thatsoultho
To me, they chose some of the worst actors for hairspray live lol. But the original hairspray is better :)
Came here bc I loved this version! The live was still great but this one is just 😍😍😍
who else is on a hairspray music marathon?
He's got such a good voice.
when i was 10 my mom bought the dvd for my bday, and no joke, i would watch this movie like 20 times a day with no breaks lol 😂 like right when it ended i would replay the movie for the wholeeee day
"Not quite, huh?" 😂😂😂😂
I love this song. I think it's stupid that still today people get judged because of skin color. We are all equal
damn that guy was smooth as hell
seaweed and penny were my fav couple. Love the music and was like hot dang the black males here are just so fine.
I liked seaweed and penny relationship it's lovely but I will always love link and tracy relationship better cause of the fact he loves her for her qualities her self confidence her sense of humour and inside beauty and he doesn't care about her weight
Tryna make a dollar out of fifteen cent.
Chenoa Threet long live the chief
My fav part of the movie
His voice is amazing! Also love the message of this song!
That "hey" at 01:00 is iconic
Seeweed is so fine to me
Im stunned because ive seen this when i was little, but now that im older i can appreciate the capability in his voice, why don't we hear more from him my god!
Without an doubt, the BEST song AND performance of the movie. Lord knows I love me some Elijah boyyyy.
My god I love her voice I wondered if she sings and she famous?
She does sing but she's really not that famous just like a lot of the secondary characters in this movie :(
316 ppl can't run and tell that😂😂😂
xD that's so tru
They tried to run but shi gravity soon caught up with them 😁
Watched Hairspray live, then came straight to this😁
This play is so fun!!!! This was one of my favorite songs to be in! Even though Tracy didn't sing a whole lot in it, the dancing was crazy and fun!
I need to learn these dances! Oh and I would totally get with Seaweed...those moves and that VOICE!! ;) Too smooth.
Annalisa Ching his hair though it's naaaaaa come ur hair
Haha true
Salamander Taz I might be wrong but did you mean 'comb' ?
Haha yeah he meant comb lol.
