yougottaletitout:Ohio, Ohio, OhioThey tried to make me go to rehab, but I said, “No, no, no”Yes, I’ve been black but when I come back you’ll know, know, knowI ain’t got the time and if my daddy thinks I’m fineHe’s tried to make me go to rehab, I won’t go, go, goI’d rather be at home with RayI ain’t got seventy days‘Cause there’s nothing, there’s nothing you can teach meThat I can’t learn from Mr. Hathaway Didn’t get a lot in classBut I know it don’t come in a shot glass They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, “No, no, no”Yes, I’ve been black but when I come back you’ll know, know, knowI ain’t got the time and if my daddy thinks I’m fineHe’s tried to make me go to rehab, I won’t go, go, goYou can wear bright dresses and use bright lights and wear even brighter smiles… But none of those things make this song not about alcoholism and depression.So they start the song by addressing the entirety of the state Ohio- And not a single person listens. This mostly reads as a fun performance, because of how we know nothing about Vocal Adrenaline at this point, and because of the cheerful audience. What we learn in Hell-O is that there’s nothing real about those smiles. We also learn in Acafella’s that people aren’t supposed to leave auditions, not even for health-reasons.What’s interesting about combining show-choir with an addiction is that this is kind of how Vocal Adrenaline works. You can’t just… stop Vocal Adrenaline. For example, Sunshine had to revoke her visa in order to escape them.On the other hand, the line:“Didn’t get a lot in class”and the other lines about not wanting to learn, very much correspond with how Jesse’s knowledge works: he knows everything that in his opinion is necessary: everything about music and show-choir, but absolutely nothing outside of it. (When would they even have time to do anything but practice with their hours.) New Directions does get the message. Despite the fact that they’re horrified and intimidated by how good this group is, when they visit Vocal Adrenaline in Acafellas, Kurt says: “We have more heart.” -- source link
