High School Rock Out - Darren Criss live at The Mint 9/20/10 

This song is incredibly underrated; this has got to be one of my favorites. I wish he played it more in his shows :)

His head. Just bobbing everywhere. I love him. So much.

I love how he can't stay still. It's adorable and reminds me of every drummer I know.

Is it bad that I love it when he curses and that I have it on my ipod and listen to it everyday? I just think I am in love with this perfect man. I mean really who couldn't be.

Dear Lord, hearing this song makes my toes curl. Ung.

I was just looking back at this video and on these comments and I was the one who picked up the papers!! Its crazy to look how far he's come now!

second favorite darren criss songggg!!!

I love how they always cheer when he swears! It makes me laugh! :D

i... love this song own that shirt knew him before glee love this kid

0:34 He Says my name!!!!!...and this is why I love this song!!!! :DD

Also, I may or mat not want to listen to this song every single day for the rest of my life.

ugh I LOVE THIS SONG

this is my new favourite darren song - it beats stutter and the muse

this song is AWESOME! Darren you're amazing

omg his head bobbling. how cute. Unfortunately didnt know Darren before glee,but i absolutely adore Starkid and everything they do. I have watched everyone of their plays since seeing Darren on glee and i love AVPM/S more than the actual Harry Potter now (dont get me wrong, Harry potter is still amazing. I just see darren as Harry now :P) I just wish we could all get along and love this talented human being without fighting about whose a 'real' fan. because we all are. some just came later :P

In school yesterday we were asked to write an essay on one of the given topics. I chose to write mine on my role model. Within fifty-five minutes I was able to write two and a half pages on why Darren Criss is my role model and successfully use the word supermegafoxyawesomehot in a school paper. My life is a win. :D

There is something soo sexy about the way he says "it's a fucking knockout".

Thank you for posting this! I'm so happy that this "live" performance was my first introduction to his new song. As wonderful as Darren's recordings are, they can never truly capture the energy, heart, soul, and joy that he emanates in his live performances. What an great introduction to his awesome song!

that's a Darren-show, man!

@JazzyFizzleBaby27 Thank you!! I happen to have know Darren before Glee, but I'm not acting all possessive. Darren has said in some interviews that the Starkids always hold a special place in his heart, but he doesn't really like how possessive they act sometimes. We can all just appreciate how AMAZINGLY talented he is, and how wonderful his personality is, and how he would be the perfect best friend/boyfriend/husband.

love this new song! even though i graduated last year :P

Holy crap thank you! I was waiting for someone to post this! It's amazing, Darren!

This is amazing! I wish i was there to hear it but this is just as good! Thanks for posting :)

omg thanks so much for posting this! LOVE IT! :D

One of his originals. A fairly old one too. =)

I approve :D (my GOD I can just see the look on my teacher's face if I'd use that word, ever, like even just in class :D)

I love how he wears shirts from yeeears ago. Haha I do the same :)

He's so incredibly hot when he curses!

@brittiface I was the one who picked them up! that's crazy we were all so close!

Okay, so let me get this straight. Ke$ha is the new favorite artist of teens everywhere. She sings about clubbing. But Darren Criss is not widely known, his songs are not on the radio, and he has not had several top 40 songs. He sings about important things, like life. HAS THE WORLD GONE INSANE!?

@JazzyFizzleBaby27 you are soo right!!!

@hermy1017 Why would it matter when we were introduced to the awesomeness that is Darren Criss? I had never heard of him before Glee, but when I saw how amazing he was on the show, I looked up what other work he did. Now, I'm a huge fan of him, because of the work he did on Glee and his Starkid stuff. He's not a possession, and while I'm sure that's not what you meant, its just frustrating to see people argue over him like this. There's nothing wrong with being a fan of him because of Glee. =D

@Bethanyyyxxx Yep, it was one he wrote in high school apparently but he doesn't play it alot.

@AmyLaRuu lol I was probably behind you. I didn't have a seat, but I was standing against that last booth over there. if you watch my videos you'll see haha. it's happy to "meet" someone that was there too :]

It's not a Darren show unless Darren forgets the lyrics. 'Sh*t I f*cked it up again'

omg, are people actually arguing over who knew about him before or after Glee... you do realise Darren Freaking Criss is in this video right??? How can you find the time to argue when that unbelievably hot guy is there...

dude, you had to have been sitting right in front of me! are you the one who picked up his sheet music when it fell off the piano?

@hermy1017 I consider myself a true fan and i know him because of Glee. I want to go to the University of Michigan because he was on Glee. I listen to his music, I watch the Starkid shows and I watch Glee, both faithfully. Why should I be discriminated against because I didnt know him before others did?

where is that wonderful hair? :)

This creeper has seen him in that shirt three times in video spanning all the way back to 2007 all the way to Harry Shums bday two months ago. Also, this was the day that Darren auditioned for Blaine O.o

Uhm can he please record this!

Is this a cover or one of his originals?

anyone have the lyrics to this?

and he forgets the words again!

Does anyone know the chords for this song?

Is this an original song?

only darren criss can use the f word and make it sound sweet

dude, you had to have been sitting right in front of me! are you the one who picked up his sheet music when it fell off the piano?
