"Don't
push me, please, Dean,' she said, sounding
annoyed. 'you're always doing that, I can get
through perfectly well on my own...'
The
portrait swung closed behind Harry, but not before
he had heard Dean make an angry retort...his
feeling of elation increasing, Harry strode off
through the castle."

K Rowling Harry Potter and the
Half-Blood

Dean Don't Push Me
- Commentary
'Dean
Don't Push Me' is a song written in a cool lounge
jazz style, the title being self-explanatory. When
Harry uses Felix Felicis to have a 'lucky' day, he
accidentally nudges Ginny when she is coming
through the portrait hole with Dean, resulting in
Dean receiving a telling off, however
undeserved... poor Dean.
We felt
this passage in the book represents Ginny's feisty
character brilliantly, an aspect of Ginny that we
adore, so we decided to write a song based around
this idea. We wrote it in a swinging jazz style,
with Percy playing a smooth piano solo (which he
was annoyingly proud of). Charlie particularly
liked this song, as it was a chance for him to
show off his skills on his upright bass.
So prepare to click your fingers and tap along as
you enjoy, 'Dean Don't Push Me', jazz style!

Dean Don't Push Me
- Lyrics |
|
|
I picked you from the crowd (she picked you from the crowd) |
|
You
didn’t act too loud (he isn’t very loud) |
|
I
thought ‘Oh he seems nice’ (Hermione’s advice) |
|
And so
I asked you out without thinking twice |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(She picked you from the crowd) I picked you from the crowd |
|
(You
didn’t act too loud) You weren't very loud |
|
(She thought that you seemed nice) I took Hermione’s advice |
|
(And so she asked you out without thinking twice) |
|
|

|
|
It’s sweet the way you always try to make me laugh |
|
You're looking pretty cute in your Gryffindor scarf |
|
You’re really quite an artist – boy can you draw! |
|
But
the thing that really bugs me is this one little flaw |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every time we go, through the portrait hole |
|
You
seem to think I can’t get through on my own |
|
So
Dean don’t push me, Dean don’t push me |
|
Dean don’t push me ‘cos you'll push me too far |
|
I
said now Dean don’t push me, Dean don’t push me |
|
Dean don’t push me ‘cos you'll push me too far |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We work well as a team (on the Quidditch team) |
|
But
things aren’t what they seem (not what they seem) |
|
We’re really good friends (they’re better off as friends) |
|
Will we stay together? Well I think it depends |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ron caught us kissing (Ron caught them kissing) |
|
He
doesn’t know what he’s missing (doesn’t know what he’s
missing) |
|
Harry saw us too (Harry was there too) |
|
I’m
sorry but I wish that it was him and not you |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It’s sweet the way you always try to make me laugh |
|
You're looking pretty cute in your Gryffindor scarf |
|
You’re really quite an artist – boy can you draw! |
|
But
the thing that really bugs me is this one little flaw |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every time we go, through the portrait hole |
|
You
seem to think I can’t get through on my own |
|
So
Dean don’t push me, Dean don’t push me |
|
Dean don’t push me ‘cos you'll push me too far |
|
I
said now Dean don’t push me, Dean don’t push me |
|
Dean don’t push me ‘cos you'll push me too far |
