Serenata su YouTube per l'attore Jason Segel. Che è tentato dal dire di sì

Se fosse un film l'intraprendente Chelsea Gill avrebbe già raggiunto il suo obiettivo: Jason Segel non saprebbe resistere alla serenata geek che gli ha cantato su YouTube e sarebbe già nelle sue braccia. Se fosse un film. Nella realtà dovrà attendere ancora un paio di giorni: Segel, l'attore di Forgetting Sarah Marshall (orrendamente tradotto come "Non mi scaricare" in italiano) e dell'ultimo lungometraggio dei Muppets, le ha promesso una risposta via Twitter ma ha detto di volerci pensare un po' su.

Ma lo ha detto in maniera molto galante: "La cosa migliore che mi sia capitata, forse la più bella di sempre - ha twittato, allegando il video di Chelsea - Sono senza parole. Risponderò presto". E poco dopo "Mi ci vorranno un paio di giorni per farlo".

 Il video? Eccolo.

Ed ecco il testo della ballata, in pieno stile Segel.

A girl's gotta dream

Intro:
When I was young
I was told to follow my dreams
No matter how big or obscure they seem
So here it goes, gotta lot to prove
Can't stop now, nothing to lose

Verse 1:
Oh Jason Segel
You are the ring to my Smeagal
Won't you write a quirky ballad just for me
I know you're super busy
With Sarah Marshall and Miss Piggy
But I swear I'm worth your time
Wait and see

Now I know what you're thinking
Another crazy girl with heightened feelings
But I'm totally sane, tested and disease free

Now with all your worries set aside
I'll go ahead and swallow up my pride
And shamelessly ask that you listen
To my plea

Chorus:

Have drinks with me
Oh Mr. Segel can't you see
I'm trying real hard to impress
I think you're hot but I digress

Perhaps you'd like a scotch or rum
I swear when I'm drunk I'm so much fun
We can dress up incognito
Your fame and fortune only we'll know

I'll have you home before it gets light
Just one drink
It won't take all night
I mean I'm cool enough
To write you this awesome song

Verse 2:
Oh Jason Segel
It's important you know I'm legal
So any crazy shit you wanna do
Just know I can do it too

And I know my odds
Are slim to none
But with all that work
You need some fun
You won't have to spend a penny
All expenses paid, drinks on me

Oh and hey Jason Segel
Did I mention that I'm single
But no big deal, We can still be friends
Just have a drink with me before this year ends

Chorus

Ending:
I know with this song I'm brushing the surface
But can you blame me, I'm pretty nervous
Don't want to cross the line, and get you pissed
To be honest with this song it's a hit or miss

So I'll wait a couple days for you to respond
Totally no pressure
I know I came on a little strong.
But my offers on the table
So don't keep my heart waiting very long
