Me: Hey, guys! Welcome to another episode of Musical Characters react!

Heather M.: Hi, everyone!

Eliza: I hope you are doing well!

Jane Seymour: And please stay safe and healthy!

Vanessa: Same here from the barrio!

Burr: What are we reacting to today?

Me: Today's winning reaction is from diamond0749.

Me: We're reacting to the song Forbidden Fruit.

King George: What's that?

Me: Okay, so it's a song from Sanders Sides. But you'll need a little bit of context. This song is sung by Remus, or the Duke, who is in charge of Thomas' intrusive thoughts.

Veronica: Oh boy...

Me: And it's basically his "I am" song. And it IS a bop, even though it mentions stuff you wouldn't want to think about.

Katherine Howard: Wow...looks like Sanders Sides just got a LITTLE bit more mature.

Heather C.: My thoughts exactly.

King George: SO mature, it needed a content warning for the Remus episode.

Eliza: But it WAS very informative, even though the things Remus said DID warrant a content warning.

Me: All righty! Let's get to it!

[REMUS:]
Adam and Eve bought knowledge for the small price of a little sin
They also lost eternal life, but what's fruit without the pits?

[LOGAN:]
Apples don't have pits.

Catherine of Aragon: Actually, we don't know whether or not the fruit Adam and Eve ate was an apple

[REMUS:]
I am the Duke and it's high time that I dropped in

Angelica: Uh...we're good, thanks.

And since you haven't puked yet, we'll know they're wrong when they call you sick
It's unicorn horns and dragon tails, Roman's dull creativity

King George: Hey! Don't insult Roman!

Sonny: Yeah!

If you want the spectrum A to Z, then you'll need a little help from me
From unicorn porn to rats impaled, I give these thoughts generously

Veronica: Okay....unicorn porn? Impaled rats? No thanks.

Catherine of Aragon: Yeah...thanks, Remus, for THAT mental image...NOT!

If you really want to challenge your viewership then you need to stop limiting me

Jane Seymour: No thanks.

[THOMAS:]
What in the... have I been drinking?

Anne Boleyn: That's me all the time.

[LOGAN:]
It's fine

Heather C.: How is it "fine"?

Me: Heather?

Heather C.: Hm?

Me: Watch the episode, then you'll find out what he means.

[PATTON:]
It isn't you these thoughts you're thinking!

Catherine Parr: We wish...

[VIRGIL:]
Alright! You've got to stop this guy from singing

J.D.: Not gonna lie though, this song is a bop.

[REMUS:]
I love how hard you try
It's so cute... Let's resume, sure!
People don't like me much, Thomas
But that's only just cause I'm honest
Good and bad is all made-up nonsense

[ROMAN:]
Bro, I'm gonna whip your butt!

J.D. DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

Veronica: Jason Dean!

[REMUS:]
Do you promise? Thomas
Speaking of honesty
Recently a snake offered me a morsel from the tree of knowledge

Philip: Deceit!

Benny: Or you can call him Janus now. Since it's been over a month since the new episode

Mulligan: I'm STILL not over the drama in the new episode, though.

King George: Same. It was pretty intense.

He said "You're wanting to be more honest, and be direct dealing with your issues
No longer will you deceive yourself about the ugliness within you"
Neat!

You wanna face facts, I've got one
Your late night thoughts get pretty sick, dude

Hamilton: If he means "sick" as in "awesome", oh, we have VERY different meanings of "awesome".

If you shared those musings with your friends, I doubt they would forgive you

Daniela: Wow, his thoughts must've been PRETTY unsettling, then.

Even though everybody sins, everybody dies
Why deny yourself knowledge, say knowledge of yourself?
You don't need to feel ashamed with your dear old Duke
You need not feign decency
You see this house on fire? I see it too
Cause you've got a fiend in me!

Jefferson: Nice Toy Story reference.

So clap your feet and stomp your hands
And dance off your booty cheeks!

Mulligan: He's basically saying to do one handed handstands while clapping your feet and twerking.

Heather D.: Thanks for THAT mental image.

You can then bet your bottom, I'll still be around
When all your loved ones leave!

Lafayette: Oof! I felt that!

Imagine with me!
Licking the blowhole of a dolphin

Madison: Ew!

Your best bud trapped inside a coffin

Anne Boleyn: NO, JOAN!

Your grandma choking on a lozenge

Usnavi: (Shudders)

Nina: I do NOT need that image in my head

Your pet dog stuffed into a sausage

J.D.: Ew!!!

Benny: Gross! That's so gross!

These sorts of things are only thought in
The mind of a man whose soul is truly rotten

Nina: Like Logan said, just because you think these thoughts doesn't necessarily mean you're a rotten person.

So let all your hopes of heaven be forgotten
Cause your head's not in the gutter, pal
It's in Hell, Hell, Hell

Laurens: Big oof!

Catherine Parr: But it's kind of sad that Remus is saying that stuff to him.

The kind of mind you'd only find in Hell

Me: So what did everyone think of Forbidden Fruit?

Peggy: Even though it DOES mention stuff that's unsettling, it's a bop.

Catherine Parr: Yeah. It's pretty catchy.

J.D.: Same. I think I'll watch the full Intrusive Thoughts episode.

Veronica: Oh boy...

Vanessa: Yeah, the song is catchy, like the others said.

Angelica: Even though the stuff mentioned is stuff you don't want to think about.

Nina: Yep.

Me: Yeah, I like the song too. Okay, that's all the time we have today for Musical Characters React! Feel free to vote, comment, and add a request! See you guys next time!

Everyone: Bye!
