**watches "Taylor" sing**Me: ok so I actually love him, I love him, I love him

[kelhanbailey]

nO i shipped them whyd she have to be a weird stalker

[emileebrown]

I was laughing so hard during the rebuttal it was so funny😂

[savannahsmith]

I almost find the rebuttal a little bittersweet. It is obviously hilarious, but I have so much love for the original song that I'm a little saddened to imagine this twist in which the narrator is actually very overtly creepy, rather than just forced into being a little awkward due to what she thinks is love.

[mermaidsecrets]

Leave it choirs to take a song that is basically Broadway (solo I might add) and make sure that everyone has a chance to sing. XD

[bigpapameatball]

Feel as if the choir wasn't needed in some parts

There's a boy who works at Starbucks
Who is very inspirational.
He is very inspirational because of many things.

I come in at 8:11, and he smiles and says, "How are you?"
When he smiles and says, "How are you?"
I could swear my heart grows wings!

So today at 8:11
I decided I should meet him
I decided I should meet him
In a proper formal way.

So today at 8:11 when he smiled and said "How are you?"
I said "Fine, and my name's Maggie"
And he softly answered, "Hey."
And I said "My name is Kristen, and thank you for the extra foam…"

And he said his name was Taylor,
Which provides the inspiration for this poem:

Taylor the latte boy,
Bring me java, bring me joy!
Oh Taylor the latte boy,
I love him, I love him, I love him…

So I'd like to get my nerve up
To recite my poem musical.
He would like the fact it's musical
Because he plays guitar.
So today at 8:11, Taylor told me he was playing
In a band down in the village in the basement of a bar.

And he smoothly flipped the lever to prepare my double latte,
But for me he made it triple! And he didn't think I knew
But I saw him flip the lever, and for me he made it triple,
And I knew that triple latte meant that Taylor loved me too!
I said, "What time are you playing? And thank you for the extra skim…"
He said, "Keep the $3.55, " because this triple latte was on him.

Taylor the latte boy,
Bring me java, bring me joy!
Oh Taylor the latte boy,
I love him, I love him, I love him…

I used to be the kind of girl who'd run when love rushed toward her.
But finally a voice whispered "Love can be yours, if you step up to the counter, and order."

Taylor, the latte boy
Bring me java, bring me joy
Oh Taylor the latte boy
I love him, I love him, I love him.

So many years my heart has waited,
Who'd have thought that love could be so caffeinated?
Taylor, the latte boy,
I love him, I love him, I love him.
I love him, I love him, I love him.

There's a girl who comes to startbucks
and i think she has a crush on me
I can teel she has a crush on me
thats too big to ignore
she comes in here every morning
at exactly 8:11
when the clock says 8:11
she comes walking through the door

then one fateful monday morning
as she made her usual entrance
i could tell that she was nervous and she has something to say

and i smoothly flipped the lever
to prepare her double latte
and she said her name was carol
and i came back with "hey"
and i said my name was Taylor
and here's a little extra foam
as she left i cleaned her table
and i found a folded napkin with this poem:

Taylor the Latte Boy
bring me Java bring me joy
oh, taylor the latte boy
i love him
i love him
i love him

so i should have got my nerve up
and just said i wasn't interested
but since she was clearly interested
it all got out of hand

cause before i found her poem
we had had this coversation
i had told i was playin
in the village with my band

when i walked in friday evening
to our gig in Arthurs basement
i saw carol in the front row
and i heard her scream my name

then my friend said man shed crazy
she's been here since 7:30
and she told me she's your girlfriend
and she's really glad she came
and then when our gig was over she followed me the whole way home
as I ran to try and lose her
i composed another version of her poem

Maggie The Stalker Chick
your a psycho and your sick
oh, carol the stalker chick
you scare me
you scare me
you scare me

I used to be the kind of guy
who never was rude or doubting
but now i've got this lunatic freak in my life
everynight now at my window she's shouting

taylor! the latte boy!
go away im not your toy!
taylor the latte boy
is calling
is calling
the police

many a girl has let me court her
but i've never needed a restraining order
carol! come find me now
i'm tranferring to a new starbucks
there's 20 on each block
so luck!

Someone did this at my school's Coffee House, let's just say the whole room was dying after

[PrinceMeNb]

Mattie and those girls were good but Adam was just great! Thumbs up!!
Best rebuttal I've seen so far...

[skinkscat]

This was probably the best thing to ever stumble upon

[asongandadance]

By far the best Taylor's Rebuttal I have ever seen! Adam is incredible! Mattie was equally as brilliant but no-one beats Alan Cumming's version

[fairy]

Adam sings so effortlessly. I wonder what he's doing now. His voice is beautiful.

[carapercoco]

they both had really amazing voices wow

[solma]

I loooove how she says "how are you"

[BMROASTD]

I think I'm in love with Taylor the Latte Boy. :)

[dioarchangel]

Taylor the Latte Boy sang so effortlessly! Omg! So awesome!

[cbsdis]

His voice is so smooth, and I love it. My oh my. She's great too! This is great!

[johngov]

If I might be allowed a second comment, what makes this work is the fact that Mattie Bell and the chorus sing TTLB as the sweet love song that it is--with no hint of stalkerism--leaving the audience charmed and clueless as to what is coming next.

At least a dozen of the views this has received is me sharing it with other people.

I hope before their high school days are over we might see Bell and Holthus sing a duet. On stage. Together. At the same time.

[Nikkinook]

who is this guy because i think i'm in love :D

[maxwheatley]

I just rediscovered this song and I'm so glad I did
