*marvin is gay, not bi*

I'm bi and the fact that people insist Marvin's the same (and not gay) is massively erasing to the amount of gay men who had to force themselves to go through straight marriages because homosexuality was illegal or incredibly unacceptable at the time

Y'know even without this song, Mendel outright calls Marvin a "homosexual father" in falsettoland so he ain't bi lol

someone: in trousers proves that marvin is bi because he's clearly a horndog for ms. goldberg and- me: *crawls from the deep recesses of hell and plays this song as loudly as possible*

this is actually a really interesting and intimate view into Marvin's character; it's a rare glimpse into how Marvin perceives himself and his sexuality

I find this song very empowering. He has played a lie all his life and this is a key point of the story where he's decided to get what he wants, and screw the rules. That's why I love Marvin's character so much.

For everyone who thinks Marvin is bi it's normal for gay people to force themselves to love girls especially back then it's called suppressing your sexuality.

I think the lyric about cutting her lip on the sofa doesn't have any deep symbolic meaning at all because immediately afterwards he says "that's it for girls." It's as if he's looking for any excuse to break up with her, and the slightest turn off of cutting her lip sends him over the edge. "The sofa was blue before" she bleeds on the couch and it grosses him out reminding him how much he doesn't like girls.

0:25 has the same instrumentals as “I wanna see the bald spot/hairline” 👏

me when it’s my first night in a new minecraft world and i don’t have any resources

I love the "I played a game" line because you can see the clear connection to the constant theme in Falsettos of love being a game, especially when we see how this thinking affects Whizzer in The Games I Play. William Finn truly is a genius.

2:29 I love chips voice I can’t copeeee

Wow, I can't believe music was invented when this song was written!

I know that the bad stuff happens in Falsettos but still *W H I Z Z E R* man!!!!!

people: “marvin’s bi” me: slowly turns up the volume of this song

Fuck, this is 100% my favorite song from in “in trousers” because Marvin’s voice plus smooth jazz AHHH

I’m going to lose my mind I need Christian Borle to perform this in the style of the 2016 revival

I love how all of the comments in this video are people being mad at people for calling Marvin bi

@everyone saying marvin is bi: listen to this song lmao

God bless your account the world needs more In Trousers

“For everyone saying marvin in bi, this song proves he’s not” YES BUT also him hypersexualizing mrs Goldberg is a very common thing for gay kids to do, to over sexualize a woman in hope they will actually be attracted to women.

this sounds unintentionally like a minecraft song parody

now i love chip zien and his voice in this is incredible but,, how did he not clock marvin was gay at first lol

"thats it for girls!" well gosh marvin must be bi

THE VOCALS OMG

Girl: *cuts her lip on sofa* Gosh, I'm sorry Marv- Marvin: Fuck this shit! I'm out, that's it for girls!

Girl: *ruins a perfectly good blue sofa* Marvin: that’s it for girls reeEeeeee

"That's it for girls!" Yeah I see how people think that Marvin is bi

Marvin is the world's biggest compulsive heterosexual oh my goodness you poor gay baby

T h a t ’ s i t f o r g i r l s Lol me with boys

my favorite song so far

"That's it for girls" well gosh diddly darn y'all that must mean the dude's bi who knew

[THE LADIES] Relax Relax Relax Relax Relax Relax Relax [HIS SWEETHEART, spoken] Relax, Marvin [MARVIN] Here's my chance To survive the night There's nothing special about it If I try to go to sleep, I might But the phone will ring I had a girl She cut her lip on the sofa by the door The sofa was blue before That's it for girls That's it for girls Here's my chance To survive To survive the night Here's a dance I might try to make I'm not so lucid about it But I'm sure of the path that the arms must take And the feet don't move I found a word It was a queer little thing with lots of regret I had a way with words, and yet I'm through with words That's it for words Here's my chance To survive To survive the night Here's my chance To survive To survive the night To survive the day To survive my life In the most very natural Most unremarkable way I played a game She was as cute as a dime and couldn't spell I asked her to spell my name That's it for girls That's it for girls That's it for girls That's it, that's it, that's it for girls That's it, that's it, that's it for girls Here is my chance To survive To survive the night Here's my chance To survive To survive the night Here's my chance To survive Survive Survive Survive To survive the night

god this song 💕❣️💞💗💖💕💗❣️💗❣️❣️💗💕💗💞

This song slaps tbh

Everyone’s arguing whether he’s gay or bi and I’m just trying to enjoy the song 😭

Can i come out as a lesbian by covering this but with boys...

I know “I played a game / she was as cute as a dime and couldn’t spell / I asked her to spell my name / That’s it for girls” is a reference to how Marvin would look for any reason not to be with a girl ("Oh, if she can't spell my name I'll leave her", fully knowing she can't spell, and so forth) but I choose to believe that he simply embarrassed himself SO badly one time that he decided to never speak to a woman again

god i love this song so much

attention in trousers fans: i need in trousers friends and it's virtually impossible to find them out in the wild so if you need someone to freak out about it with pls reply to this comment

When Marvin hits those perfect 'there's'🥵🥵🥵

*vibes aggressively*

this is my least favorite song off the album, but its still a revolutionary song about the gay experience, even with it being from 78'

I can’t not think of minecraft in this song

Live laugh love Chip Zien the vocals are immaculate like ✨2:54✨

He does sound like Christian borle a little?

Gosh diddly darn. Marvin must be bi

did the people who worked on falsettos just straight up never listen to this song? 😭

isn’t the title five nights at freddys in a nutshell

Do you reckon that the ‘Word’ is whizzer? OR alternatively is it Marvin’s own homosexuality? I question jf it’s whizzer because not only is the word not referred to as a girl or she/her pronouns but it is also referred to as a queer little thing

Okay I know Anthony Rosenthal is older than me and is part of the hecking sister musical/revival but it honestly disturbs me that he knows about this Like ???you're so pure??? Stop it???

Here's the thing, William Finn kinda contradict himself: He described Marvin in the in trousers book as bisexual, but he describes Marvin in the musicals as, well, a homosexual. (At least in Falsettos it's more present this theme) So, guys, stop saying that people that have either view of Marvin's character is wrong, because sexuality is a fluid thing. Maybe Marvin could've felt in his younger years that he was Bi, but then felt like he was more on the gay side. Or maybe he was always gay, maybe he's still bisexual. In trousers is a more poetic musical, so take it's word more softly, be open for different interpretations!

Why do y'all care so much about if Marvin is bi or not, like you're so stressed about it, it's a musical damn

This song is so beautiful, and it belongs, ONLY, to the lgbt fans. Straight fans could never understand the power and truth behind this song.

Uh, y'all talking about him saying 'that's it for girls'. He also said 'that's it for words', yet he's still talking ?? so, shut ya mouths and stop assuming his sexuality lmaooo
