And yet, somehow, one of the film\u2019s stars, Josh Gad, has dodged learning all the lyrics to the hit song over the years. Yes, really.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Josh Gad, of course, plays the snowman Olaf in the <em>Frozen <\/em>movies, subsequent shorts and 2021\u2019s <em>Olaf Presents<\/em> miniseries, which <u>was particularly \u201cemotional\u201d for the actor to record<\/u>. When Gad was recently asked to sing \u201cLet It Go\u201d at a live performance in Carnegie Hall to pay tribute to writers Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, it apparently didn\u2019t go well. In Gad\u2019s words:\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>So, there&#8217;s a problem with this, people assume that because I&#8217;m in Frozen that I know the lyrics to &#8216;Let It Go.&#8217; What&#8217;s funny: I don&#8217;t know the lyrics to &#8216;Let It Go.&#8217; So, there was a little monitor, but everybody was like, &#8216;Yeah, Josh, just move over, you know it already, we don&#8217;t even need this.&#8217; [Laughs] I was like, &#8216;Yeah. Alright, let&#8217;s go guys. Let&#8217;s sing it.&#8217; And so I&#8217;ve got the mic, and I&#8217;m doing, &#8216;The stars are bright, and the mountains are light, and you know that things are nice,&#8217; just making up lyrics. Not a single word was correct. It was a disaster. And of course \u2014 this is a true story \u2014 I had the only working mic on the stage. Kids were like, &#8216;Did they rewrite this?&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"><\/aside>\n<p>When Josh Gad stopped by on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_t5OJ3oD9-Y\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_t5OJ3oD9-Y\" rel=\"noopener\"><u><em>Good Morning America<\/em><\/u><\/a> to promote the third season of <em>Central Park<\/em>, he shared the funny story. However, he does have a good reason why not knowing the lyrics to the <em>Frozen<\/em> hit is OK. He continued:\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing. It\u2019s not my song. I already have a hard enough problem learning the lyrics to \u201cIn Summer,\u201d which I have to sing and can\u2019t remember. Idina, you\u2019ve got that and that\u2019s all America needs.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s true, when you have a talented singer as incredible as Idina Menzel, why would we want to hear anyone else sing it? It\u2019s not Olaf\u2019s song, and hearing the voice of the lovable snowman say the \u201ccold never bothered me anyway\u201d is kind of weird, y\u2019all. Anyway, the live performance he was talking about happened last month and was in celebration of Lopezes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The other talents in attendance were Kristen Bell (who plays Princess Anna in the <em>Frozen<\/em> movies), along with Samantha Barks, Jennifer Barnhart, Kristen Bell, Jaime Camil, Stephanie D&#8217;Abruzzo, Santino Fontana, Josh Gad, Jordan Gelber, Ann Harada, Nikki M. James, Mykal Kilgore, Maggie Lakis, Caissie Levy, Rick Lyon, Rob McClure, Patti Murin, Andrew Rannells and Betsy Wolfe, all of whom have had connections to the <em>Frozen<\/em> and <em>Book of Mormon<\/em> songwriters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Frozen<\/em>, of course, changed Josh Gad and the lives of all involved. Following the success of the 2013 <u>Disney movie<\/u>, a sequel was released in 2019. <u>When asked about a third <\/u><u><em>Frozen<\/em><\/u><u> film<\/u>, Gad said that while there are no plans for another one, he trusts that if the team behind the movies decided to make another film it would be for the right reasons. <em>Frozen <\/em>has a huge presence in the Disney Parks, including the <u>House of Mouse\u2019s upcoming plans to make a Frozen Land in Hong Kong<\/u>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Josh Gad must see <em>Frozen<\/em> everywhere he goes. He did randomly <u>walk into a doctor\u2019s office that was ridden with <\/u><u><em>Frozen<\/em><\/u><u> posters<\/u> once while taking his kid to get something looked at. The fact that he&#8217;s gone so long without knowing the movie&#8217;s biggest song by heart is honestly impressive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The biggest phenomenon in Frozen was its hit song, \u201cLet It Go\u201d which ended up becoming the most streamed Disney song of all time before Encanto\u2019s \u201cWe Don\u2019t Talk About Bruno\u201d took its spot recently.
