"Gaston" is a song sung by Gaston (Richard White), LeFou (Jesse Corti), Gaston's Cronies, The Bimbettes, and the Villagers in Beauty and the Beast. It was sung to cheer up Gaston after Belle rejected his marriage proposal, and was started by LeFou. It is most famous for the memetic phrase "No one [verb]s like Gaston," which became so popular it eve...
After Belle humiliates him while rejecting his marriage proposal, Gaston sulks at the fireplace within his tavern. To lift his spirits, LeFou and the villagers sing about how Gaston is good at basically everything and that no one compares to him. This successfully cheers him up. After the song, Maurice barges into the tavern, frantically seeking as...
•The version of the song featured on the soundtrack notably includes a small scene where LeFou tries to spell out Gaston's name, but fails and ultimately gives up. This scene was cut from the film's version, however. This stanza was reinstated in the 2017 version, with LeFou justifying why he is unable to spell it by mentioning that he is illiterate.
•The song was originally supposed to have different lyrics. However, the test lyrics proved to be so popular during development that they were used in the final version.
•The third issue of the Marvel Comics serial for Beauty and the Beast's ending had Gaston and LeFou engaging in similar dialogue to the beginning of the Gaston song.
•In the reprise, the final verses in the film version imply that the entire village (exempting possibly the Bimbettes) knew and agreed with Gaston's plans of blackmail.
•The Broadway version, however, omits this implication by having everyone leave the tavern before Gaston and LeFou start plotting. Consequentially, this resulted in LeFou and Gaston actually singing the final verses in the musical, which had previously been reserved for the chorus in the film. In addition, the comic adaptation also cuts out the song entirely and implies that, besides LeFou and the warden, no one actually knew about the plot.
•The lyrics used in the Broadway version of the reprise were based on the version of the song used in the first draft, barring that in the first draft, it was implied with the final lyrics that everyone, or at least Gaston's buddies, proceeded to sing the final lyrics.
