He has a couple slight word changes, nothing drastic that I can think of.
Replaces his own name in the song ('Hi my name is Johnny...')

Posted: 3/31/06 at 9:12pmDon't most people who sing it insert their own names? I don't think Kristin Chenoweth did, but Susan Egan did.

Now I have the urge.
"There's a boy who works at Starbucks
Who is very inspirational.
He is very inspirational because of many things.
I come in at 8:11, and he smiles and says, "How are you?"
When he smiles and says, "How are you?"
I could swear my heart grows wings!
So today at 8:11
I decided I should meet him
I decided I should meet him
In a proper formal way.
So today at 8:11 when he smiled and said "How are you?"
I said "Fine, and my name’s Kristin"
And he softly answered, "Hey."
And I said "My name’s Kristin, and thank you for the extra foam…"
And he said his name was Taylor,
Which provides the inspiration for this poem:
Taylor the latte boy,
Bring me java, bring me joy!
Taylor the latte boy,
I love him, I love him, I love him…
So I’d like to get my nerve up
To recite my poem musical.
He would like the fact it’s musical
Because he plays guitar.
So today at 8:11, Taylor told me he was playing
In a band down in the village in the basement of a bar.
AND he smoothly flipped the lever to prepare my double latte,
But for me he made it triple! (And he didn’t think I knew)
But I saw him flip the lever, and for me he made it triple,
And I knew that triple latte meant that Taylor loved me too!
I said, "What time are you playing? And thank you for the extra skim…"
He said, "Keep the $3.55," because this triple latte was on him.
Taylor the latte boy,
Bring me java, bring me joy!
Taylor the latte boy,
I love him, I love him, I love him…
I used to be the kind of girl
Who’d run when love rushed toward her.
Till finally a voice whispered, "Love can be yours,
If you step up to the counter and order.
Taylor the latte boy,
Bring me java, bring me joy!
Taylor the latte boy,
I love him, I love him, I love him…
So many years my heart has waited,
Who’d have thought that love could be so caffeinated?
Taylor, the latte boy,
I love him, I love him, I love him.
I love him, I love him, I love him."

"When will people stop singing this song?"
That goes along on my list of questions that include "Where the hell did Jennifer Westefeldt wind up after her mysterious disappearance, never to be heard of again?"

I saw him perform this at one of his Joe's Pub concerts. He doesn't change any of the lyrics or anything (well, he inserted his name, which is fine). There were a couple of boys dressed in Starbucks aprons and such and there was some "background dancing" or staging of sorts. It was just fun to see it performed by him because when I saw it, I had not heard it sung by a guy before. It worked, though. It was very entertaining.

God forbid a guy sing a song to another guy. What's the world coming to?
Get a grip.
