It's just fab isn't it? Or AIBU?
I have had it on in the background while I try and sort the sitting room out and I keep stopping to watch and find myself singing and smiling along.

There's no hope for me, is there?

I really don't like it but I think that's because DD's friend sang it for the entire 45 minute journey home to her house. The girl in question is Dutch and she had a bizarre half American half dutch singing voice. I don't find it as awful as Alvin and the chipmunks though.

southeastastra · 17/07/2010 20:31

really? sounds like chipmunks singing

watch the proms instead

phoenixflower · 17/07/2010 20:32

YANBU!! I agree... my DC have loved it since it came out a few years ago and I love it too! . Now you have seen the first one, watch the other two! Very catchy songs, you'll love them!

Tootiredforgodtyping · 17/07/2010 20:32

I like it becuase the female lead isn't the usual disney bimbo.

southeastastra · 17/07/2010 20:34

the whole cast are disney bimbos instead

There's probably a helpline you could phone.

Quality · 17/07/2010 20:41

I think I do need a helpline, I have seen HSM2 actually, I watched them both last year as some of DD1's friends have older sisters so she is aware of it and asked to watch it when it was on disney channel.

It is so sickly sweet and twee, but I can't help watching it.

I lurve High School Musical. And I totally heart Zac Efron. In fact, I'm going to put on number 3 now. So thanks for writing that!

MilkNoSugarPlease · 17/07/2010 20:44

Quality · 17/07/2010 20:44

Oh don't mantion alvin and the frciking chipmunks. I was talking to a friend at the playgroup dd1 went to in a local church and I said 'You couldn't pay me to watch Alvin and the fricking Chipmunks' and there were sharp intakes of breath all round.
I said fricking!!! I still felt I had to apologise

I too am a HSM lover - bought 1 & 2 for my little girl a few years ago and bought her HSM3 for her birthday last year. Am embarrased to say that I wrapped it up, then unwrapped it watched it late at night the day before her birthday, and wrapped it up for her! And I don't like musicals or kids films even Disney animation. I blame it on the wonder that is Zac Effron or Zac Ephwoar as my dh calls him!!!

clarabella23 · 17/07/2010 20:49

Oh I meant on DVD too as I also DD has them all on dvd! If they're on TV it's fate and you need to watch them now. henever there is a HSM weekend on Disney channel its the law in house to sit and watch all of them, sometimes twice, and it's even better if they put the dance-a-long version on!

MilkNoSugarPlease · 17/07/2010 20:52

Yes but you can pretend the DVDs are your DC's...I'm childless! I BOUGHT them!

clarabella23 · 17/07/2010 21:05

But Zac Efrons so pretty....I understand the need! Sometimes, you just NEED to put on something cheesy and singalong at the top of your voice while dancing like an idiot. I've done it to Grease (and Grease 2- even cheesier!), I've done it to Dirty dancing, and now I do it to HSM!

Quality · 17/07/2010 21:06

He is veyr pretty. Woof. Indeed.

Ahem.

Ingles2 · 17/07/2010 21:17

Oh god I love HSM
and Zac Ephron is just so pretty.
I have 2 boys and make them watch regularly

MilkNoSugarPlease · 17/07/2010 21:22

The hawaii esque song in HSM2 with Sharpey and Zac Efron (What the hell is his characters name?!) is hilarious!

!!!

clarabella23 · 17/07/2010 21:26

Its Troy, and I like that song too. But my favourites can I have this dance from number 3...I'm very sad and we have the album! If you're a Zac fan have you seen 17 again? He's topless at one point. He has very nice nipples. God, so, so pretty. Sorry, I am that sad.

clarabella23 · 17/07/2010 21:29

I feel really bad now cos TooTired made a good point about the female lead not being a bimbo...but I let DD watch it so I can perve on the teenage boy!

womblingfree · 17/07/2010 21:59

I love pretty much anything Disney, and actually get a bit emotional when they are graduating at the end of HSM3 !

Alambil · 17/07/2010 22:41

I am a complete saddo
