What the World Needs is People Like Me - Ride the Cyclone 

What I love about this song besides the narcissism is the irony. Especially the first time she describes them as the working class, who are exactly the ones who "keep the world spinning around" and "pumping the gas"

I love this so much! It feels like a way more condescending version of "the Coolest Girl" from "a Very Potter Musical".

To the new fans: WELCOME TO RIDE THE CYCLONE!!! we have hello kitty cupcakes for everyone :)

2:07 the part we were all waiting for

PRAISE!!!

This is fantastic as always 😂 who plays Mischa and Ricky in this one?

This is the most narsastic song ive heard. I love it.

Sadly for Ocean, the only headline she probably was able to make was "Six teenagers dead in tragic carnival accident"

"Amazing how a horrific concept like social Darwinism can sound so appealing when you put a catchy beat under it." -Karnak, the Official Soundtrack Album

Something I like from this song is the use of lighting. When she's praising herself, the lights are pink and vibrant. When she's looking down at others, the lights are blue and gloomy, like her facade has fallen down and you can see past her "innocence"

I absolutely love how Ocean is not a typical mean girl character. She’s a nerd but she’s also definitely a leader, maybe self-proclaimed, but she does seem to be “protecting” the group during scary moments (like in It’s not a game/ it’s just a ride). She’s pretty, probably knows it (something about her attitude towards fast-food tells me that..), but doesn’t seem to know how to “use” it or doesn’t value it really. And I love how she’s a little clumsy and her body language is a little childlike, especially in this song. She’s so innocent really. And I also like how she can be bitchy and sarcastic (like what she tells Noel while trying to prove everyone she actually loves them is hilarious), but also she seems so open and she’s smiling all the time. I guess you can say she’s TRYING to be nice, but my god she’s just so cute, like in this Every Story Has a Lesson part where she’s listening to Misha explaining the moral of Saw 5 and she seems so genuinely interested 😭😭 idk I just love Ocean a lot, there’s dimension you know

this was my first impression to ride the cyclone. i thought she was trying to be elected or chosen for something in a magic-themed university. i was very wrong, like very wrong

What the world needs is free tickets to this show

The whole song is great, but for some reason Jane standing up for "the walmart greeter with an overdrawn credit card" just really makes me giggle.

I listened to the recording first and I legit thought Ocean was going around insulting everyone she saw on the street

I actually think Tiffany kills Ocean better than Taylor did. I've seen and heard them both play the role, but Tiffany just brought that innocent life to the character. Love it!

I have this au in my brain where if ocean did end up choosing herself in the end that Jane just haunts the fuck out of her and in ocean's exhaustion and terror she end up becoming a person she consider a "zero" in this song Update; she is also driven to solving Jane's cold case and discovering who she was and how that ties into the cyclone accident

The idea of this song is so interesting because she's not what the world needs, everyone she says the world doesn't need are the same people who keep the world spinning! Walmart workers, sandwich workers, single moms everyone like that keeps our world spinning around

Something about how she says “Maybe steal Hubcaps, maybe steal Booze.” Is really fun to listen to.

I appreciate that you know on-sight who Jane Doe has gotta be.

Something I find really interesting with this song is that instead of listing all of the things that make her worthy of living and a good person, she brings down the other people around her, which doesn't make her better than them, it just makes her a narcissist

I’m just impressed on how she did this I feel out of breath watching it

I mean, we could say she indeed was a headline maker

Don’t know much about this show but always thrilled to find more Canadian musicals killing it.

im convinced emily, tiffany, kholby and lillian can magically teleport with any cast

This song actually made me cringe... not because is bad but because, dear lord this is the exact mentality I had as a middle schooler, suffering bullying and thinking I was better than anyone else. Is so embarrassing to remember who I thought I was. Anyone that thinks like this wakes up sooner or later to realize they are the real losers, unless they wise up really soon

Is it bad I listen to this to make myself feel better?

all the little hand gestures on the riffs really add to the “narcissistic choir kid” vibe

Shout out to whoever yelled "you're annoying" after Ocean said "Im trying to prove to you that im a good person"

this deserved a much bigger applause than it got

OMG SHES LITERALLY SO GOOD!!! Her singing is amazing, perfect breathing, the delivery was perfect and she managed to keep moving!!! Amazing performance!

I love this show and NEED a cast recording! (Desperately want to play ocean one day as well 😂)

I love how all the chamber choir kids embody their voice part so well like Constance is just the purest cinnamon roll alto whos accepted her fate and ocean is the soprano 2 who’s a wannabe soprano 1 and then Jane is like the actual soprano 1 and Noel is the gay tenor - I’ve only seen parts of this show so i dont know much about the other two but yeah

dont be shy, post the full show :) (or do a pay per view, I _will_ give you my money)

WHOAH SHE NAILED THAT OH MY GOD- Tiffany is such an amazing ocean!!!

“This goes to show that with enough up-tempo shine, you can make any audios idea palitable; even social Darwinism.” -The Amazing Karnak, 2019

Sadly, I've met so many people like this in my life.

I remember seeing this at chicago shakespeare. So glad it’s finding an audience online!

She’s so humble 😊

This has massive rachel berry energy

For someone named Ocean she seems quite shallow

Another thing that points to her as contradictory is that the last word "down" is said while going up in melody.

oh no the song slaps but shes so mean

Ocean: "I am trying to prove to you that I am a good person!" Random guy in audience: "NO!"

Ocean: I'm trying to prove to you that I'm a good person! Audience member at 0:04 : Nope!

Everyone, if you look up "cyclone slime tutorial" it's the full movie with normal audio and everything, though I think this is recorded from a different time it was played because richies actor is different and it looked like maybe misha's is too. Not to mention some of the placements during moves were different.

I love how every version of this song has a different description of Ricky

my toxic trait is thinking I can do this :/

Please please please at least release a cast recording :'( the more videos I see the more sad i get because there won't be a digital release

WHY DO THEY ALWAYS CHANGE THE "ooh it's so groovy to watch a ___ movie" FIRST IT WAS WILL SMITH, NEXT IT WAS TRANSFORMERS, NOW ITS ADAM SANDLER.

This and jane doe's ballad are the best songs I've heard in a while

rip ocean, you would’ve loved never have i ever

her mannerisms are so on point

*I would now like to tell you that the winner of this contest will be chosen by unanimous vote of all parties you have just insulted*

i have never seen these musical before in my life but this came up on my recommended and i clicked it out of curiosity and now i can't stop watching it help edit: still obsessed, yesterday i watched the bootleg so now i have context and now i love it even more. ocean is still my favourite character.

This is the best performance I've seen of this so far! Tiffany KILLS it here especially!!

Something I've been wondering is if Ocean is the reason everyone else got on the Cyclone in the first place. I haven't seen the show, but they would have gotten in line as a group or else there likely would have been someone who wasn't a student in the car (like Disney will put in single riders to fill empty seats on 4 person rides if you only have three). These 6 don't seem exceptionally close, but them getting in the coaster together makes sense if someone decided to break the choir into groups to go do different rides based on what they were up to (a lot of people really don't like loop de loops). Ocean seems like she would have loudly started asking who wants to do what and would have taken anyone who looked apathetic or easily swayed to do the ride that no one else wanted to do because *leadership*. Ocean would also be the last to own up to that because she doesn't seem too aware of her own hubris, or might not even be aware of how her pushing affected others.

1:11 JD?

i love ocean so much, tiffany plays her perfectly

I can't stop listening to this, wish I could go see the full show!

i love how her movements look like how an actual teen would act

1:52 | nothing special i just rlly love this part

They sing so beautifully!

do i like ocean as a character? not really, she's kinda annoying. will i still learn her dance? yes. i will

I am obsessed with the first "Noo Noo~"

I love how it ends with her at the top of a pyramid, clearly neglecting the fact that she needs all five of the other students to support her to do so Great choreography!

Tiffany's voice is so beautiful

This song is so narcissistic. And I love it.

whoever wrote the verse “im the mover, im the shaker, im the headline maker.” has ruined my life and will be punished

The way she says hubcaps is addictive

The way Karnak's mic cut out 💀

ocean is the worst i'm obsessed with her

she's so terrible. i love her.

I CAME AS SOON I HEARD

Jane is too adorable she keeps stealing my attention

She reminds me of the villains from Night In The Woods. She also reminds me of JD from heathers :D

It’s funny bc I just heard 2 songs from this show and this is one of them and while I already can’t stand this character, the song is catchy asf

One thing I love about this show is that the choreography during their songs matches the character really well. For example, a lot of the cheography in this is reminiscent of show choir moves or musical theater. She doesn’t stray, except for the hubcap move. Ballad of Jane Doe doesn’t include much physical choreography at all, while someone said that Constance’s song looked like the kids having fun, which is reminiscent of what the character would want. I just think the changes in choreography changes between songs are great

1:35 I love how he skips away 😭

futher muckin' is my new favourite!

This is what a presidential election should look like

Ocean is the only person allowed to be a narcissist/j

Wait... THIS IS WHERE THAT SOUND WAS FROM?! HAD I KNOWN THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN HYPERFIXATING A LONG TIME AGO

Awesome! Which date was this performance filmed? Would love to be able to tell if I was in the audience :)

I love how they just have her face spin in the background.

Tiffany had NO right to pop off this hard with the most narcissistic song i've heard

I like how oceans bitchiness can be replaced with cluelessness

watching this rendition has me questioning the rewrite of the "another will smith movie"/"adam sandler movie"." why? which came first?

rickys actor is fuckin enjoying this aint he, bro is all smiley

i thought it was a transformer movie not adam saddler??

2:24 this part just kills me

help my obsession wirht terrance and phillip from south park is so bad i couldnt stop laughing when i saw the signs with the cananda flag 😭😭😭

[OCEAN] Oh no What the world needs is people like me To keep it all spinning around I'm the mover, I'm the shaker, I'm the headline maker I get up I get up And no one's gonna keep me down Okay, it's clear I'm the top of this class These folks here, well they pump the gas Fetch me a coffee, shine my shoes Some of us are winners, some were born to lose You got the Sandwich artist, the security guard The Walmart greeter with an overdrawn credit card He smokes ganja, oh it's so groovy To stay at home and watch a transformers movie She serves me a Coke and a medium fries and No thanks, I don't want it supersized cause that's low class Diabetes in a cup Keep your head down and things will look up What the world needs is people like me To keep it all spinning around I'm the mover, I'm the shaker, I'm the headline maker I get up I get up And no one's gonna keep me down Seriously? This one here, he's raring to fail He'll rob a 7-Eleven and go straight to jail Maybe steal hubcaps, maybe steal booze Expressing himself with his homemade tattoos Soccer mom, minivan Four little brats, no steady man And do we really need another organ donor? (spoken) Maybe that was a little harsh, love you! Oh, Pokemon, Spiderman This kid doesn't have an attention span And what's he gonna do, solve a Rubik's Cube? (whispered) How long's he got if we feed him through a tube? What the world needs is people like me To keep it all spinning around I'm the mover, I'm the shaker, I'm the headline maker I get up I get up And no one's gonna keep me down And as we move through life to find our place in the crowd [CHORUS] Some don't make the cut that's crystal clear-o [OCEAN] Oh yes, oh yes Well isn't someone keeping score, I've gotta say it out loud I mean do we need another zero Or zero, or zero, or zero, or zero Add 'em all up and you'll still get zero What you really need is a Futhermucking Hero He'll never learn to read He's never gonna breed Going to jail, guaranteed And she's a freaky monster [CHORUS] Yes there's a problem [OCEAN] I'm the solution Darwin had a theory called [CHORUS] Evolution [OCEAN] He put it into words but it's plain to see We need a little less of them a little more of me Me, little more of me (riffing) I get up, I get up And no one's gonna keep me down [CHORUS] Some stay down [OCEAN] Down!

I like Jane Doe's costume design, she starts off very stiff with doll-like motions and at the end, she becomes more 'human'. The best part is that she adopted her dolls head (since died without one) and wardrobe (blonde hair and headband, tights, mary jane shoes, black eyes, laceyblouse)

When I first heard the song instead of breed I heard breathe so I just went around singing "he's never gonna breathe" for a while

Do they change the kind of movie for every performance? Bc this one says “Adam Sandler movie” but the recording I watched says “will smith movie” and the album says “transformers movie”

Despite oceab being a social Darwinist and an abelist she knows how to make a good song.

The crowd is not crowding. They suck. I would've cheered so much

I wonder if she ever messed up the futher mkng part

PLEASE RELEASE AN ALBUM 💿
