[Team StarKid, Darren Criss - About Ten Years Ago... lyrics]
So about 10 years ago, well a few of us put
Together a show just for fun in
College like you do just havin' a laugh
And we put together a raunchy
Silly Harry Potter parody musical
and it was meant for a very small group of
People it was wrought with inside jokes
And things that were just funny and fun
To us we did it in
A small black box theatre at the University
Of Michigan and that was kind
Of it we were just doing it
For us and having a great
Time and by the end of it
It was just sort of a fun last
Thing that we did before a lot
Of us graduated, and if no one had seen it
Which
Was sort of the intent after it was done
We would have been kind of fine with
That it was kind of a magical thing that we
Loved and talked about, and that
Was great when we put it
On YouTube 10 years ago
Before that was really like a thing to do
We did it mainly
To share it with each other
Because we missed each other and
It's meant to be
Sort of this love note to something that
We had built together little did we know that
Millions of people around the world would see
It i should have read the disclaimer that
YouTube asks before you press 'upload'
Because apparently it was available to
So many other people that weren't
Those 200 some odd
People in that room that night and in turn
You guys have created something that is much
Bigger than us, then yourselves
Something that we could have never possibly
Dreamed of so thank you for
Sharing this with your friends
For creating fan communities
For singing along thank you for immortalising
This very weird, fun stuff that
We made for ourselves
Into GIFS and memes and
Enthusiastic, but sometimes questionable
Fan art we're so appreciative i think
We felt it in this room
Tonight, I hope you felt it this is so
So special to us you have made us
In all your enthusiasm
Into a fully-fledged production company
Together a show just for fun in
College like you do just havin' a laugh
And we put together a raunchy
Silly Harry Potter parody musical
and it was meant for a very small group of
People it was wrought with inside jokes
And things that were just funny and fun
To us we did it in
