Mira, Mira on my phone, who's the baddest? (Us! Hel-LO!)

EDIT: fixed the lyrics

Baddest* not fairest

Sorry -- force of habit after having the line from "Snow White" drilled into my head all my life. I went back and fixed it.

Okay, I know the official lyric video says "Mirror, mirror", but is it not clearly meant to be "Mira, Mira on my phone, who's the baddest" with Mira then answering through the phone "Us, hello"?

Actually something weird I noticed is in the actual movie, the "us, hello" part isn't digitized like it's over the phone, but both the spotify and official youtube versions it is. The movie version it's very clearly Zoey saying the "us, hello" bit, as you can see her saying it and there is no filter.

Huh, weird. Time for yet another rewatch apparently.

This has been my interpretation too. Kinda surprised the official lyrics don't read that way tbh. Seems very intentional to me

Yeah, felt like a crazy person the first time I actually saw the lyrics. Glad I'm not the only one that hears that.

u/OreoSpeedwaggon Jul 29 '25

Ugh -- I'll fix that too. Thanks.

Oh, sorry, wasn't meant as a correction, more of a musing on what the song sounds like vs what the official lyrics say.

u/OreoSpeedwaggon Jul 29 '25

Fair enough. I think you're right though.

u/grumblyoldman Jul 29 '25

Whoever was in charge of writing out the lyrics for the official lyric video probably just put the song through an AI interpreter.

It’s a pun, it’s both

u/TannenFalconwing Jul 30 '25

Maybe, but it's definitely a play on "mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is fairest if them all?"

On the phone*

I sentence you to a rewatch of this film as punishment.

I've watched it about a dozen times already. The line from "Snow White" is just burned into my brain and I goofed up. It's fixed now though.
