Here is the demo for “Oh Fionna,” which Neil Patrick Harris sang for the final.

I really wanted NPH for this episode, mostly because I thought he would be a perfect male Bubblegum, but also because I wanted to impress my brother Steven, who was obsessed with the Music Meister from Batman Brave and the Bold at the time. 

NPH was AMAZING, he sang the song beautifully, and every line he read was hysterical. That scene where his laugh becomes the Ice Queen’s laugh, he really did that, he laughed his voice up an octave until it matched with Grey DeLisle. It was really incredible.

Here are the chords for Oh Fionna! It was pitch shifted for the final so it might not match the episode version…

C, E7, Am

Dm, G7, C, G7,

C, E7, Am

Dm, G7, C, E7,

(Oh, Oh, Fionna…)

C, E7, Am, A,

Dm, G7, C, C7,

(Oh, Oh, Fionna…)

F, G7, C, A7,

Dm, G7, C, A7,

Dm, G7, C

It was so fun to write a romantic song. I wanted the scene to be very Whole New World, plus the Romani Ranch aliens from Majora’s Mask. 

I want to thank Ian Jones-Quartey who helped me write this song, he suggested “you punched me in the heart,” which I pretty much used.

Adam and I put so much love into this ep. It was awesome to take the torch from Natasha, and she and Pen really let us run with it. I was honored to be allowed to put so much of myself into this episode.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!

GUYS QUICK, CRIMINAL OR ENFORCER?
