Hairspray Live! (2016): A show-stopping dream team of stars including Dove Cameron, Kristin Chenoweth, Garrett Clayton, Harvey Fierstein, Ariana Grande, Derek Hough, Jennifer Hudson, and Martin Short come together to bring this Broadway favorite to life! With the Tony Award®-winning choreographer of the original Hairspray Broadway musical on board, Hairspray LIVE! is sure to dazzle. Set in 1962, Tracy Turnblad becomes an overnight sensation after appearing on a Baltimore TV dance show. With her newfound popularity, she twists and shakes her hometown, teaching them a thing or two about racial equality - and of course, the power of big hair!

Run and Tell That (LYRICS):

[Seaweed:]
Heyyy...
I can't see why people look at me and only see the color of my face, oh yeah
And then there's those that try to help, God knows, but always have to put me in my place

Now I won't ask you to be color blind
Cause if you pick the fruit, then girl, you're sure to find
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so, but darlin', what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
And that's where it's at
Now baby, run and tell that (Run and tell that)
Oh sugar, run and tell that (Run and tell that)

Hey, yeah
I can't see why people disagree each time I tell them what I know is true, no, no
And if you come and see the world I'm from, I bet your heart is gonna feel it too

Yeah, I could lie but baby, let's be bold
Vanilla can be nice, but if the truth be told
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so, but darlin', what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
And that's where it's at
Ooh, baby, baby, run and tell that (Run and tell that)
Oh sugar, go run and tell that (Run and tell that)
G-g-go on and run and tell that (Run and tell that)
Hey, yeah, run and tell, go tell
Keep moving, baby, run and tell that (Run and tell that)

Hey, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Hey, woo, ooh...

Come here girl. This is my sister Little Inez
Oh, I know Tracy Turnblad. Good for you, girl, you got on the show!
Well, you better be next!
You got that right!
Oh, you know she is. You better show 'em girl...

I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride
(So give me five on the black-hand side)
I've got a new way of movin' and I got my own voice
(So how can I help but to shout and rejoice?)
Oh, the people 'round here can barely pay their rent
They're tryin' to make dollar out o' fifteen cent
But we got a spirit money just can't buy
It's deep as a river, it soars to the sky

I can't see the reason it can't be the kinda world that where we all get our chance, yeah
The time is now, so we can show them how to turn the music up and let's all dance, yeah

Cause all things are equal when it comes to love
Well, that ain't quite true cause when a push comes to shove
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so, but darlin', what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
And that's where it's at
Now baby, baby, baby, run and tell that (Run and tell that)
Yeah, run and tell that (Run and tell that)
Oh baby, go run and tell that (Run and tell that)
G-g-g-g-go on girl, and run and tell that...
That... yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Woo!
