Lyrics
I am what I am

I am my own special creation

so come take a look

give me the hook

or the ovation



it's my world that I want to have a little pride in

my world and it's not a place I have to hide in

life's not worth a damn

till you can say I am what I am



I am what I am

I don't want praise I don't want pity

I bang my own drum

Some think it's noise

I think it's pretty



and so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle

why not try to see things from a different angle

your life is a sham

till you can shout out I am what I am



I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses

I deal my own deck

sometimes the ace

sometimes the deuces



it's one life and there's no return and no deposit

one life so it's time to open up your closet

life's not worth a damn

till you can shout out I am what I am

GLORIA GAYNOR, vidder?? This song choice was glorious (if you will). This vid is SO CUTE and omg how much did I love the part from :36-:55 where the song really takes off and the section ends with Batman doing a STAR JUMP, omg. Your lyrical ties are adorable and very clever, and your paralelisms are fantastic (I especially loved "see things from a different angle" and all the kicks from 1:24-1:31 and then the ZIP-LINING and the zap rakk zonks and the BUSTING THROUGH THE WINDOWS). TIME TO OPEN UP YOUR CLOSET TO GET YOUR COSTUMES. You are so clever, festividder. Why is Batman surfing? I love the end with the in-source text. You are a genius!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!! <33333333

I forgot to mention that I love the TEAMY FEELS!!!!!!! The general overview of this vid is just super charming and hits all my buttons. <3
