THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT - (A Farewell Song from the Pilot Cast of Hazbin Hotel!)

This song has been a long time coming... We actually wrote it over a year ago when we (the pilot cast of #HazbinHotel) found out we were being re-cast. However, we didn't release it out of respect for Vivienne and the new A24 crew as they hadn't made their official announcement yet.

Now that the cat's out of the bag, we hope you enjoy our final Hazbin Hotel song! We hope it is received in the spirit with which it was written; as a light-hearted and proverbial passing of the torch from the pilot cast of Hazbin, to the incredible new voice cast that will carry the show into the future! We have nothing but love and respect for the incredible world that is the Hellaverse, and the brilliant people who bring it to life! We are honored to have been a part of it, even for a moment!

Thank you, and Goodnight!

Alastor: (Spoken)
Well, it’s been a wild ride and we’ve enjoyed every Insane minute of it!
We don’t know what the future holds, but we’re grateful for every moment we got to spend with you!
And remember, it’s not really goodbye, 'cause we’ll probably see most of you very soon!
Until then…

It’s been a blast, been a slice, been a hell of a ride.
We’ve had some laughs, had some fights, even some of us cried.
But all good things must come to an end and I guess this is our time.
So so long, farewell, and we’ll see ya on the other side.

But it’s not goodbye forever
Cause we’re all down here together
And we hope we get to see you when you die.

All:
We may be monsters creeps and killers but we’ll miss you just the same
And don’t be sad we’re stuck for eternity in constant torture, fire, and pain
Cause there is love and joy and laughter
Who cares if it’s wrong or right?
We had so much fun so thank you and goodnight.

Goodnight, goodnight.
Thank you and goodnight.
Goodnight, goodnight.

Angel:
What a trip, never had such a natural high.
(Haha)

Husk:
And I’d buy you a drink but I’m not that kind of a guy.
(Screw off)

Cherri Bomb:
You’re the bomb, you’re the blowout, no doubt, the cherry of my eye.

Nifty:
And though you gotta check out, I’ll keep it neat and tidy till next time.
(Buh-bye!)

Alastor:
But we won’t leave you with nothing
At least we hope we gave you something
Even if that something made your conscience cry...

Charlie:
If anyone out there can hear me I have one last thing to say.
Despite the unideal location we hope you enjoyed your stay.
Cause there was love and joy and laughter
it’s not perfect, but we tried…

All:
We had so much fun so thank you
We had so much fun so thank you
We had so much fun so thank you and goodnight!

We may be monsters creeps and killers but we’ll miss you just the same
And don’t be sad we’re stuck for eternity in constant torture, fire, and pain
Cause there is love and joy and laughter
Who cares if it’s wrong or right?...

Alastor:
We had so much fun so thank you and goodnight…

HELLO DDR'S (Dedicated Description Readers)!!

I honestly don't know what to say this time... I'm happy, I think. This song is very meaningful to me. It's a bitter-sweet moment. Sweet because I'm reflecting on all the awesome memories and the amazing people I've encountered through being involved with Hazbin Hotel! Bitter because, well... I'm sad that I'm no longer going to be a part of it. I think we all are. I do, however, understand and respect the decision to go in a different direction. That's Hollywood, after all. It's the nature of the beast! Projects come and go, but the experiences and lessons never leave you, and the friendships you make along the way are worth more than any disappointment or sadness that comes with the end of a project!

I guess if I want to say anything, it's this; I'm SO happy for Vivian! I'm happy for the fandom! I'm happy for Indie Animation! This is a win across the board! This show has brought so much joy into the lives of so many, and that is bigger than all of us! I hope my small contribution was a positive one, and I hope the show continues to bring love, joy, and laughter to millions for years to come!

Thank you, and goodnight!

HELL-O EVERYONE! 😈

I’ve seen a lot of the same questions repeated in the comments, so I figured I’d answer some of them here:

Q: Why were you all recast?
A: There’s been a lot of speculation; that we couldn’t join the union, we can’t sing, or Amazon/A24 forced the re-hire… The simple answer is that Viv always wanted a Broadway cast and, when the show got picked up, she had the opportunity to get it!
That’s show business, baby. No hard feelings.

Q: Why isn’t Vaggie singing?
A: We originally wrote a verse for her (after Cherri Bomb) that went “And, though it’s hard to say, hasta luego. Audios. Goodbye.” Monica Franco declined our request, but we still wanted to represent her, so we put a Vaggie in the background!

Q: I thought Ed was the voice of Alastor?
A: Ed was the speaking voice of Alastor in the pilot, I was the singing voice. We asked Ed to do the opening monologue, but he felt it might be a conflict of interest as he also voices Striker in Helluva Boss.

Q: Did you go to the premiere?
A: I was not invited to the premiere. I don’t think any of the original cast were. But we were all supporting from a distance!

Q: Is this song official?
A: No, this is a love letter from the OG cast to the fandom and the show! I’m not even sure Viv has heard it yet, but when/if she does, I hope she likes it! :-)

Lastly, I really wanted to thank you all for the incredible outpouring of love and support we’ve received! It’s honestly more than I could’ve ever imagined and it means so much! Thank you… 🥹🖤

I don't think I've ever seen a community get as attached to a cast of VA's from a single pilot episode of a web series that was in production hell for literally years. You guys made a Helluvan impression!

[Wolfietjuh]

It gets to me how the song in itself sounds cheerful and catchy, but when you consider that it is not just a song for the purpose of the show, but the original voice actors giving their final performance and low-key addressing you, the audience, directly to say their goodbyes, it gets me all emotional.
The original voice actors are the voices that brought about the hype and "cult status" this show has accumulated over the years. They played a large role in bringing the show to where it is today, so they deserve all the love and appreciation. Thank you so much, all of you!

[jasonpodell]

The pilot cast deserves all the love and all the opportunities in the future. They made it worth the wait!

[ThatSchneiderMan]

Charlie's solo really makes me consider things about my life...
It's time to reconsider.

[Angel_Dust_Official]

"It wasn't perfect but we tried" kills me. It's acknowledging that though the pilot was flawed and was a learning curb, the beautiful attempt was made and absolutely paid off.

[maya_vita]

The pilot cast will always be the reason so many of us are here, and without them, Hazbin Hotel wouldn’t be where it is today. Truly a group worth applauding!

[MasonpoliticalStuff]

"its not perfect, but we tried"- this line made me cry, as long as i watch Hazbin Hotel, i will never forget who started it all, thank you to the OG cast

[evil_stevil]

"and we'll probably see most of you VERY SOON" perfectly correct

[BotiEk]

I cried on Charlie's part, "its not perfect, but we tried"😢

[Galimeer]

"It's not really goodbye because we'll probably see most of you very soon!"
Very sentimental, yet slightly threatening

[NotesFromTheVoid]

The weird part is this is genuinely in character for alastor, sure he's a casual murderer but he's also a showman. Very impressive considering this is more about the cast saying goodbye than the characters.

[_hotelier]

I literally just realize it was posted on January 19th, the day of season 1, so it was actually a farewell 😭

[H-e-y]

It’s amazing how Charlie’s original voice actor can hit those really high notes

[MishtiTakamuri]

"Makes your concise cry..." "It's not perfect but we tried..."

Hit so hard, and hurts.

[liberty]

The line "It's not perfct but we tried-" Made my heart shatter because this is perfect. I've been a fan of Hazbin from the begining and you guys will always have the biggest place in my hearts as the OG cast. Thank you guys for this beautiful masterpiece that will fill all our hearts.

[Molly-mhpx]

That little la-da-da-dada at 2:57 is just perfect. I love the Insane shoutout!!

[EthanielDanieI]

"But we won't leave you with nothing, at least we hope we gave you something..."
Hazbin Hotel was the show that inspired me to pursue animation. So for the original cast who helped bring such an amazing project to life and instilled me with a passion to create my own stories, thank you and goodnight.

[Witchydigit]

Man, I just want to say that the Pilot cast was so much more than voices for the characters. The promotional work and podcasts they did (you know which podcast I mean, specifically) were such a comfort during 2020/2021, a bit of a reprieve from being on the minimum wage front lines. Everyone here is so amazingly talented, but more than that, so kindhearted and caring (even Bosco), that they can touch people's lives for the better without even knowing them. Absolutely wonderful, and I can't wait to see what they have next for us in their future projects.

[MoonieFlower]

I never thought that I would cry for a cast of ONE EPISODE... but... What iconic voices
