Basically, the story behind this one is this: My school band played Popular for our latest concert, and since I'd been singing along with the band ever since I memorized the words, about a week before the concert in class, our conductor basically said, "Oh, what the hell. Here's the microphone." I sang my little heart out and apparently he thought I was amazing. So I'd been singing along in class every day (not that I hadn't been before) and Popular was stuck in my head for the rest of the school day.
I had absolutely nothing to do in drama club a few days later, seeing as we were going over act 2 and I'm only in one scene that whole time (and it's near the end of the show, too) I started writing this.
Hope you enjoyed that little story (you probably couldn't care less), and by the way, I was thinking of Megan Hilty's version of Popular when I wrote this (hers is my favorite version), so it'll help if you listen to that one on youtube while reading. Have fun and review, please!
…Elphie…? Really?
Makeovers? Oh, no…
Galinda, if those curlers come anywhere near me, so help me Oz I will hex you to kingdom come…
I love how you manage to insult me at a time like this…
Who's worried?
Wait… popular? You're going to put lipstick and a pink dress on me and expect people to like me? Ha!
What in Oz is personality dialysis?
Yes, Galinda, that's probably the only thing you do know…
Dreary? Well, that's a new one…
I didn't know you knew such big words…
Yes they did. And you're laughing already.
No need to get so defensive, woman!
"This is NEVER GOING TO WORK."
The only thing you'll ever do to change my life is make me deaf.
You make such strange noises…
Hair tossing? Oh Oz, help me!
I'm going to practice?
I have a strong feeling of apprehension…
Galinda… ball gown is not a spell…
And I repeat my earlier statement… you'll make me deaf someday.
Wands don't have on buttons…
What are you going to do to me?
I'm what?
Galinda… your flower… my hair…
The damned green…
"I have to go."
I'm beautiful?
Beautiful?
