Was this Bowen Yang's first time singing?

This has no reason to go as hard as it does

[grantcole]

Feelin’ weary? Well, you oughta
‘Cuz dwelling underwater isn’t swell
Trust me, I know
You see, since birth I have a fought a
Dermatology disorder
That has caused me sadness and woe, woe, woe
Whenever other kids saw me under the sun’s rays
In no time, they’d be calling me a freak or a raisin
So, I resigned myself to being
Left behind forever living in the H2O

But since then, I’ve realized
There’s nothing wrong with being moisturized
Why should I stay below the shore
Second rate and inferior
To the air-breathing, land-walking sun-kissers
I despise?

So, watch me rise up
Open the skies up
And take the world by storm
I’ll flood the dry lands
Low and highlands
And take the world by storm
Every inch of the land, every part of the sky
Will be water when I transform it
So, watch me rise up
Open the skies up
And take the world by storm

How did I come up with this plan?
Well…

I was chilling with the fish
And my pillar sparked a vision
And bam! I envision a plan
Now I’ve created a machine
To turn the world submarine
This demon dragon’s gonna be the man
Oh, yeah!

I’m saying see-ya-laters
To all the haters and the dehydrators
To the land-walking, hair-growing, name-calling, life-ruining, loneliness-inducing

I mean…
They’re all gonna die!

So, watch me rise up
Open the skies up
And take the world by storm
You’ll quake and shiver
Well, cry me a river!
(He’s taking the world by storm!) Yes, I am!
For years, this un-phibian demon’s been rehearsing a scheme
Now stand back, ‘cuz I’m gonna perform it
And nobody will deny
My power when I
Take the world by storm!

No more sunshine, no more flowers
Only endless power showers
No more groundhogs or earthworms
And no more ruined frizzy perms
No more islands, no more nations
No more rain-checked invitations
No more sadness, no more crying
No more failed auditions drying up
On the big final note…
Ever again!

So, watch me rise up
Open the skies up
And take the world by storm!
I’m the top dragon
(And he ain’t braggin’!)
No, I’m taking the world by storm!
Fortune favors the brave, so, baby, I’m makin’ waves
So big they’ll become the norm!
So, watch me rise up
(Our king will reign!)
Open the skies up
(He’s making it rain!)
And take the whole dried world by storm!
