Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Well, not every hero receives a namesake

in this office. Are you kidding me? All

these heroes have something named after

him in this office. There's the Superman

writer's room, the Batman art

department, the Aquaman water cooler,

and the swamp thing office plant.

Listen, I understand you're upset, but

we only name things after a list heroes

who create the amazing comic books our

fans have grown to love. So, what are

we? Be list heroes? No, you're more like

D-list heroes.

There has to be something we can do to

prove we belong on the A-list. Like

putting us in charge of Wonder Woman's

anniversary issue. I'm sorry, but I've

already assigned that issue to our top

creative minds.

Then why don't you unassign it? No, I

must ensure that the issue becomes a

huge success so we don't get crushed by

the competition. Now, please enjoy the

rest of the party.

Oh man, this stinks. Don't worry,

Titans. We're not going to let anything

stop us from making that comic. But

Detective Chimp said Batman, Superman,

and the Flash are in charge of that

issue. Leave it to me. Hey guys, just

wanted to wish you good luck on Wonder

Woman's anniversary issue.

Now, let's get to work, Titans. If we're

going to make an amazing comic, we need

to come up with an amazing story. Ooh.

It also needs a diabolical plot and the

new villain. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. We should

probably throw in some cool vehicles and

some familiar faces, too. Yo, great.

I'll do the writing and design. Starfire

and Cyborg, you two will take care of

the coloring. Booyah. Raven, you can be

the inker. Whatever. What about me?

You're going to draw the speech

balloons. Well, in that case, my speech

balloons are going to blow your mind.

Yell Titans. Go make a comic book.

[Music]

Thanks for coming everybody. We've got

something amazing to show you.

Has anyone seen Superman, Batman, or the

Flash? No. Knowing them, they're

probably somewhere slacking off.

This is terrible. The deadline for

Wonder Woman's issue is today.

Relax, man. We already took care of it.

You created the issue? That's right,

yell. So, we can prove to you that we

the kind of A-list heroes who deserve a

namesake. I'm sure you'll find that our

version truly represents 80 years of

Wonder Woman. Take it away, Cyborg.

[Music]

On the island of the mascara, Wonder

Woman, champion of truth, warrior for

peace, and lounger of couches, sips her

iced tea. When Cheetah suddenly leaps

from the shadows.

The hiss. I am the cheetah. Here, kitty

kitty. There. There. That's a nice

kitty. Steve, Trevor, what are you doing

here? I've come to give you an urgent

message. Oo. From the Justice League.

No, the pharmacist. The refill on your

prescription has been denied.

Oh, he won't get away with this.

Quickly, Steve, to the invisible station

wagon.

Wonder Woman. So, we meet again. Tell

me, pharmacist, why have you denied my

prescription? Forget it. I'll never tell

you. Oh, yeah. We'll just see about

that. My lasso of truth will force you

to tell me. It's because your insurance

no longer covers brand name

prescriptions. Then you get my doctor on

the phone and have her authorize the

generic. Okay. Okay. Do you have her

contact information? Yes. It's right

here on my medical alert power

bracelets.

Okay. Give it a minute to process this.

A half hour later. So, did you get your

prescription? Yes. And just in the nick

of time, too. The diner's early bird

special is almost over.

Yo, Beasty, let's play some dumb video

games.

No way. I'll lose all my brain

percentages. That's the idea. We loved

you the way you were. A sweet guy with

2% brain power. That beast boy is gone.

I'm using 80% of my brain now. Check

this out.

Whoa. Telekinesis. Yep. That's what

happens when you use the extra

percentages of your brain. I can do

this, too.

[Music]

What?

[Music]

So much brain power. But not enough.

Hold up. I got to do something real

quick.

[Music]

[Music]

Oh snap. What up, monkey man? Let's

touch fingers.

[Music]

Sick.

Where'd you go, dude? On a journey

through my own DNA to the beginning of

time, me and a monkey man touched

fingertips and then I saw all the

secrets of the universe. Now I'm using

95% of my brain and I'm going to turn

into a computer.

I do not understand what is the

happening. That's cuz you only use 10%

of your brains. If you was like me, you

could touch monkeys and be computers,

too. Beasty, you got to lock it up, man.

This is too much power. Ain't enough.

I'm about to get to 100%.

Then what will you do? Eliminate

reality.

We have to do something. Once he gets to

100%, we won't be able to stop him.

Titans, go.

Where are we? We're inside the puzzle.

Beast Boy, what have you done? I removed

all distractions so I can finally find

the hidden pics. You got to restore

reality, dude. Not until I finish the

puzzle, bro.

I can see. I can see.

Rocket ship, beach ball, feather

broccoli. Come on, little buddy. One

more. You can do it.

You got to be kidding me. It's right

there. Look, it is in the No, no hints.

I'm going to do it myself, even if it

takes forever.

A dolphin.

A, so obvious. They should really make

these puzzles harder.

We're back. Thanks, you did it. That's

what's up.

So, now that you have the unlimited

power of your brain, what are you going

to do? I don't know. I ain't thought

that far ahead. Hey, they got mazes in

here. I'm great at mazes.

I shall set the record for the longest

fingernails ever grown.

Must be so unnatural. I've never seen

such a thing in all my days. Star, it'll

take years for you to grow your

fingernails out like that. Yeah, that

dude took 50 years to grow his. Time

matters the not for I have dedicated my

whole heart to the task. Why' you pick

something so nasty? Yo, so I can be the

special. At least consider an easier

record to set like world's most likable

Teen Titan.

Thank you, Raven. But it is decided. I

will never give the ups, no matter the

cost. It may be a terrible idea, but I

support you, Star. I bet you won't be

able to last two months before you

realize how shameful a goal this be.

Everything okay, Star?

At this pace, it will be the forever

before I do the setting of the record.

You don't have to do this, Star. You're

already special just the way you are.

That is very nice, Robin. But your

opinion does not matter to me.

[Music]

What?

[Music]

Robin.

Robin.

What?

I have an itch under my nose that

requires the scratching.

Oh, yeah. That's the spot. Yeah.

Do you have any idea how close I am to

setting the record for the longest

fingernails ever grown? What? Very

close.

What?

Just a few more of the years.

Okay, this has gone far enough. That's

right. We're cutting those nails. Why

would I let you do that? Just look at

those hands.

You've been in misery the last 50 years

and we can't let it go on. My hands are

in the pain. The weight of the

fingernails is so very great. Then that

settles it. You're getting a manicure.

I would not try that if I were the you.

Oh yeah. What if we try it anyway?

I will show you what I will do once I am

able to aim my hands at you. Your

fingernails are so long you can't even

move your hands around. Yo, thank us

when we're done.

And then we can have some ma ball soup.

Do you know how many personal sacrifices

have been made in the setting of this

record? I gave up being the superhero. I

gave up all of the human contact because

I cannot do the hugging. And worst of

all, I have not held a single kitty in

over 50 years. I have wasted my life in

order to be special when in fact I shall

never be special. You don't need to set

any records. You're special just the way

you are. Do you mean that? I've been

saying that for years. Yes, but I do not

care about your opinion. Oh, hit me with

it. What if they're super muscular,

super ripped,

super tight?

The team tight hands.

Deep underground in the carbal tunnel,

our superheroes get pumped. Yeah. Tight

hands. Looking tight. The tightness I am

feeling is at maximum levels. Yeah.

Yeah. Right hand. Flex the flexers.

Yeah. Shan. Yeah.

Yeah, baby. We the tightest hands down.

It's the emergency hand signal. We must

lend the helping hand. Tight hands to

the flying ballet.

[Music]

Meanwhile, at the Jump City Bridge,

havoc is being reached by the arch

nemesis of the team tight hands, the

atomic toe. No, Mr. Frostbite. No, no,

no. The Clipper. Yeah,

look. The Clipper and his army of

Clipperrons are clipping the cables to

the jump city bridge. Oo, you got to

hand it to him. That's pretty

underhanded. It's time to get a handle

on the situation. Tight hands. Yeah.

Tight hands. You'll never stop me. The

transparic

[Music]

smash

power punch. Yeah.

You won't be slipping through my fingers

this time. Looks like we got the upper

hand. Tight hands. High five. Yeah,

[Music]

that is literally the worst idea we've

ever had. It might actually be the worst

idea anyone ever had.

It's all part of the creative process.

Got to dig through the dirt to get to

the gold.

But the Teen Titans have been around for

two decades. I feel like we're trying to

reinvent the wheel here. That's why

we're here in our favorite diner, taking

a pit stop.

H wheel pit stop. What is it, George?

What have we got? What if

the Teen Titans are a superhero Formula

1 pit crew?

Faster than a speeding bullet shot from

a speeding car.

Pit crew titans, go.

[Music]

[Applause]

We are the fastest pit crew in the sport

of motors. 1.81 seconds, baby.

I'm getting in a distress call. Pit crew

titans. Go, go, go. Meanwhile, in Jump

City, a crime is in progress at the

National Bank.

Check it out.

Pull them down.

[Music]

Roll them out.

1.81 seconds, baby.

I'm getting another distress call. Bed

crew titans. Go, go, go. Give me the

bag, lady. Help. Help.

Check it out.

Wheels locked. Helmet on. Go, go, go.

1.81 seconds, baby.

It's Batman. He forgot his lunch.
