this song actually makes me tear up a little sometimes. its quite sad that unfortunately squidward IS alone. however, this song is so beautiful its hard not to listen to over and over again!
i mean, he kinda like an older brother, they are kinda mean but are going through there own problems that make them that way.....this post was made by an older brother
@@PhirePhlame Can confirm. I saw the touring production over the Super Bowl weekend, and it did not disappoint in the slightest. The cast is spectacular, the leads in particular. Also, if you go, get an aisle seat if you can, particularly on the left side of the theater.
Unfortunately, the tour is also now cancelled due to coronavirus - REEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAALLY hoping it goes back on tour someday, even if it's with a different cast!
I just noticed while watching the recording on Amazon, as they are leaving the chorus sings "you are not, not, not, not, not, not alone." They use a sextuple negative... which means that he's alone :(.
@@TimidMinds Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant in the full version. I was watching the video on Amazon. Where this specific recording ends the chorus is around him for applause. After this they dance off stage while singing a brief reprise and have an even number of "nots". It's actually six, making it a sextuple negative. And he delivers the last "alone" himself.
Squidward is the pure embodiment of oppression under capitalism. We suffer and suffer and suffer, we suppress our dreams for dead end jobs and the best we get to do is fantasize about our true potential. It really moved me when Squidward got his own big musical number. I hope I can get mine too some day.
i auditioned for this musical at my local community theatre and i got a callback for squidward... i'm genuinely so excited i didn't expect to even be considered 😭 i don't wanna jinx it but...AUUFHHGHG
Squidward is never a loser he's relatable and my fav character and this Im not a loser is my fav song from squidward plus squidward is amazing but the sea thingys are my favs too yall
y'know this song hit really hard at me , my main task everyday in my daily life is to convice myself that im not bad , i deserv to be loved , etc i dont have the exact same problem as squidward but 4:37 make me tear up everytime
If someone did a subtitled animatic of Lumiére singing this, because Gavin played him in the UK Tour one of the lines would be: Hey, Lumiére, you’re not hallucinating this backing group of enchanted objects at all.
Rose they’re very dated compared to the broadway/tv version. the recent versions have gone through plenty of revisions before their new performances. it’s a big thing that happens in musical theatre! looking at some popular shows like be more chill and beetlejuice, they’ve gone through tons of song revisions from their original debuts in comparison to their broadway releases.
Also, the cast album was released while the show was in Chicago, which naturally meant a different cast, on top of the performers being nowhere near as experienced with their characters back then.
@@jay-lanhalliburton3593 Hopefully they'll reopen the show. I was greatly disappointed when they shut it down instead of just postponing, though at this point that was probably the right move. I was lucky enough to see it 3 weeks before it all shut down. The touring cast did an amazing job, and the guy playing Squidward, while young, was so spot on.
@@jay-lanhalliburton3593 The Broadway tour was BS with the theater wanting to remodel. You don't kick out a show nominated for 13 Tonies over remodeling!

This is actually the Ensemble.
U put the whole lyrics to the song dude
Appppp
Does anyone notice that squidward plays the clarinet good is when he's confident in himself
Fun fact: the badly-played clarinet sounds in the TV show are actually being played reasonably well - just after the reed was dipped in water.
@@PhirePhlame Oh damn, learn something new every day
My theory is that all this number is happening in his head and because is his imagination he can play good.
@@upodo100 no, he can play good. Because he's not a loser
nice stolen comment
i love how squidward’s song got the most screaming, cheering, and clapping.
Literally my fav song from the musical
@@Layla-rs1ix hel yes.
@@Layla-rs1ix same
It’s cuz he finally had a win, for once (disregarding sweet victory)
@@pacowallochenkenrick Sweet Victory counts in my opinion.
And the crowd actually cheered for this. The crowd loves him too.
At least the musical provides Squidward with his own big music and dance number even though it takes place inside his imagination.
Yep.
FINALLY SQUIDWARD GETS THE BROADWAY SHOW STOPPING MUSIC NUMBER HE DESERVES.

that's what makes Spongebob so timeless. when you're a kid, you identify with Spongebob, after you grow up, you identify with Squidward.

I think most of us or at least some of you learned about this musical when it was too late because I did and I’ll never be able to see it now 😔

Believe me it’s at this point as a trumpet player I play as loud as I have played the entire show right there
Listen to that crowd cheer for him for a change.

Yessss GAVIN!🎼🥇🎉🎉💗💗💓💓💝💝💕💘💖❣️❤️💜💙💙💙🐙
One of my favorite songs in the musical. Too bad they cut out the part where the backup singer tried to upstage him.
Gavin Lee is my favorite actor
Bro this hit different-
"Look at me now mama!"
I love that line it gets me everytime.
Also " clarinet solo!"
AND "This is weird?!"
Squidward has the best lines
I don’t know why but when I hear this I think of “King of New York” from the Newsies.

Gavin Lee's Squidward voice seems to be 50% Rodger Bumpass (the voice of the animated Squidward) and 50% Paul Lynde.
You know you're getting old when you realize you relate more to squidward than spongebob
Squidward is not a loser
TRUE
Yeah it's true squidward is not a loser
How would you like Gavin to tap dance upside down on the ceiling with four legs and two candle hands?
Whenever I feel down, like when I feel like I am truly a loser who is worth nothing, I always listen to this song and feel so much better
If someone did a subtitled animatic of Lumiére singing this, because Gavin played him in the UK Tour one of the lines would be:
Hey, Lumiére, you’re not hallucinating this backing group of enchanted objects at all.
