Hi, I'm Aaron Tveit
and I'm here to play Song Association With Elle.
I'm gonna be given a word
and I have ten seconds to use that word in a song.
I don't want to set myself up for
expectations that are too high,
but I think I'm going to do pretty well.
And I just set myself up so high.
Cool, great, now I'm going to crash and burn.
Before we get into the game,
just wanted to let you know that
you can come see me and my castmates
live on stage in Moulin Rouge on Broadway.
(lip trilling)
I'm a lip triller, so
Okay, I'm ready.
The first word is me.
Oh my gosh. (timer ticks)
I just always think of the meme right, but--
♪ It's gonna be me ♪ (ding)
It's gonna be may.
That's the greatest meme of all time, isn't it?
Sorry, Justin Timberlake, I'm a big fan.
All.
Why am I just going straight to boy band stuff?
(timer ticks) This is O-Town.
♪ 'Cause I want it all or nothing at all ♪
How's the rest of it go?
(humming)
(mumbling)
Yeah, that song.
That's a good song.
Shout to Ashley Parker Angel.
He's done some Broadway stuff.
He actually-- he did Link on Broadway after me,
in Hairspray.
No one knows what Link is.
Link in Hairspray on Broadway after me,
Ashley Parker Angel, good guy.
Dance.

Crazy.
Crazy in Moulin Rouge, it goes--
♪ I remember when, I remember, ♪
♪ I remember when I lost my mind ♪
♪ Does that make me crazy ♪
♪ Possibly ♪
I think the song that I enjoy in Moulin Rouge the most is
I get to sing Gnarls Barkley's Crazy
kind of at this moment where I'm kind of losing my mind
and on the verge of going crazy myself, so kind of--
the way that that song weaves into the
narrative of the story with its song lyrics,
it kind of becomes a storytelling song
and not just a pop song.
I think it's wonderful, it's great.
Little.
Little, little, little, little, little.
Oh my god, little, little.
There's got to be songs with little in it.
I think you stumped me. (alarm buzzes)
I don't, little?
Does anyone know little?
Big.
Big, this is a musical theater song
but a buddy of mine and I played opposite
in Catch Me If You Can, Norbert Leo Butz,
sang a call called

Johnny Cash.
I'm a big fan of this singer-songwriter named
Jason Isbolt-- Isbell.
I've seen him in concert a bunch of times,
he's kind of a very classic Americana,
classic rock, a little bit of country influence,
and I just think he's an incredible song writer
and I think singing with somebody like that or
I never really recorded my own music but
if I was to ever record some music,
you know to have a song writer like that
to work with would be pretty incredible.
I think my favorite song is this song called Cover Me Up.
