John C. Reilly - Mister Cellophane

[denouement_]

that "I hope I didn't take much of your time" broken my heart QAQ

[ErinaBleu]

Every time I hear someone say “cellophane” I have to start singing this song, it just comes out of me I can’t stop it

[LucyLovettLestrange]

I'm sure we've all felt like this at one point in our lives 😉

[LucyLovettLestrange]

You can almost feel his pain just listening to this

[canileavethisspaceblank]

We stan our poor himbo. He deserved better

[phoebetaber]

I quite literally *cry* everytime I listen to this song

[mikacar]

Lyrics:

If someone stood up in a crowd
And raised their voice up way out loud
And waved their arm and shook his leg
You'd notice him
If someone in the movie show
Yelled, "Fire", in the second row
This whole place is a powder keg
You'd notice him

And even without clucking like a hen
Everyone gets noticed, now and then
Unless of course, that personage should be
Invisible, inconsequential me

Cellophane, Mr. Cellophane shoulda been my name
Mr. Cellophane 'cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me and never know I'm there

I tell ya Cellophane, Mr. Cellophane shoulda been my name
Mr. Cellophane 'cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me and never know I'm there

Suppose you was a little cat
Residin' in a person's flat
Who fed you fish and scratched your ears?
You'd notice him
Suppose you was a woman, wed
And sleepin' in a double bed
Beside one man, for seven years
You'd notice him

A human being's made of more than air
With all that bulk, you're bound to see him there
Unless that human bein' next to you
Is unimpressive, undistinguished you know who

shoulda been my name
Mr. Cellophane 'cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me and never know I'm there

I tell ya Cellophane, Mr. Cellophane shoulda been my name
Mr. Cellophane 'cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me and never know I'm there
Never even know I'm there

Hope I didn't take up too much of your time

My best friend posted this out when we were watching it. He's the only character that doesn't get introduced by the announcer, and his dreamlike musical sequence has no big set pieces like the others.

[starchild]

This to me is the perfect warmup Tenor song to as it changed melodies so many times, and also gives off different tones if how Amou’s voices changes when he sings.

[pncwho]

Reilly absolutely nails this song. The best singer in the show. Marvelous!

[KatiS]

honestly, Mr. Cellophane is the best song in the musical, i will fight over that

[snowflakegirl]

when he does the "never, even, know" and he just pours out his heart then realizes no one heard and then he gets all quiet.... UGH

[jjh]

I've never related to this character as Much i do now 30s years old.

[peachdoesart]

Just found out Wreck it Ralph has pipes apparently. Mans can sing.

[starborn]

Favourite song in this musical hands down ❤️

[joanneevans]

Omg its Wreck it Ralph !! Actually how weird that this song would of fitted Ralph in the first film when all the other characters didnt like/irgnored him in the first film ☺☺, John is such a good actor ☺ xx

[iloveplayrehersal]

I love how the song starts out with the "Me and my Baby" music a song from the stage show that didn't make it into the movie

[Rivers_TG]

Almost started screaming "I see you king" in the theater💀

[glittergirl]

All I can think about listening to this song is Kurt Hummel
