  • The love that we have recieved from our fans all over the world
    Has been truly so amazing and so moving
    And one of those fans happens to be in our audience tonight
    So, I wanted to know, Remington
    Hi, Remi, is it okay if I call you Remi?

    Yeah

    Okay, Remi
    I was gonna call you that anyway because Remi
    Now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project

    Yeah

    Yeah, yeah, I know
    That's what makes me so nice

    Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
    And let's face it, right? Who isn't less fortunate than I?
    My tender heart tends to start to bleed
    And when someone needs a makeover, I simply have to take over
    I know, listen, I know, okay? Exactly what they need
    And even in your case
    Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face
    Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed
    Follow my lead
    And yes, indeed
    You will be
    Popular
    You're gonna be popular
    I'll teach you the proper ploys when you talk to boys
    Little ways to flirt and flounce, ooh
    I'll show you what shoes to wear, how to fix your hair
    Everything that really counts to be popular
    I'll help you be popular
    You'll hang with the right cohorts, you'll be good at sports
    Know the slang you've got to know
    So let's start 'cause you've got an awfully long way to go

    Come with me
    Come on
    Down center stage

    Don't be offended by my frank analysis
    Think of it as personality dialysis
    Now that I've chosen to become a pal
    A sister and adviser, there's nobody wiser
    Not when it comes to

    Popular
    I know about popular
    And with an assist from me to be who you'll be
    Instead of dreary who-you-were

    Well, are

    There's nothing that can stop you from becoming populer-lar

    La-la, la-la, oh
    We're gonna make you popular

    When I see depressing creatures
    With unprepossessing features
    I remind them on their own behalf to think of
    Celebrated heads of state
    Or especially great communicators
    Did they have brains or knowledge?
    Don't make me laugh
    They were

    Popular

    Exactly
    That's what I'm saying

    It's not about aptitude, it's the way you're viewed
    So it's very shrewd to be
    Very, very popular like me, me

    Now, Remi, would you mind coming with me?
    I'd like to teach you how to toss your hair
    Ready?
    Now this is a slightly different technique because I have a ponytail today
    But I have to wind it up and then you toss, toss
    Everyone, Remington

    And though you protest
    Your disinterest
    I know clandestinely
    You're gonna grin and bear it, your newfound popularity (woo)
    La-la, la-la
    La-la, la-la
    La-la, ooh
    You'll be popular
    Just not quite as popular as me Writer/s: Stephen Lawrence Schwartz
