| Episode: | Choke |
Not the Boy Next Door from The Boy From Oz is featured in Choke, the eighteenth episode of Season Three. It is sung by Kurt, with Brittany, Mercedes and Tina as backup.
He performs this as his NYADA audition piece for Carmen, the dean of the college. He originally plans to audition with The Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera, but he senses that Carmen would not be impressed.
He switches gears at the beginning of his audition, clearly having planned this as a possible back-up. His Phantom costume is revealed to be a tear-away early in the performance, revealing his black formal shirt and tight gold lamé pants underneath. Carmen is incredibly pleased with Kurt's quick change and him taking a risk by changing his audition song from The Music of the Night to Not the Boy Next Door.

Lyrics
Kurt:
Comin' home used to feel so good
I'm a stranger now in my neighborhood
I've seen the world at a faster pace
And I'm comin' now from a diff'rent place
Though I may look the same way to you
Underneath there is somebody new
I am not the boy next door
I don't belong like I did before
Nothin' ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can't have me
Oh, I can't come back there anymore
'Cause I am not the boy next door
You've been savin' those souvenirs,
Faded photographs from our foolish years
We made plans, but they're wearin' thin
And they don't work out 'cause I don't fit in
And those mem'ries will just weigh me down
'Cause I got no place to keep 'em uptown
I am not (Tina, Brittany and Mercedes: do do) the boy next door (Tina, Brittany and Mercedes: do do)
I don't belong (Tina, Brittany and Mercedes: do do) like I did before
Nothin' ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can't have me
Kurt with Tina, Brittany and Mercedes:
Oh, I can't go back there anymore
'Cause I am not the boy next door
Kurt (Tina, Brittany and Mercedes):
I'm not sorry for just bein' me
But if you'd look past the past you could see
That I am not
(You are not)
(The boy next door)
(You don't belong)
Kurt:
Nothin' ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, oh, but you can't have me
Kurt with Tina, Brittany and Mercedes:
I can't go back there anymore
'Cause I am not (Tina, Brittany and Mercedes: You are not)
I am not (Tina, Brittany and Mercedes: You are not)
I am not the boy next door
Trivia
- Tina, Brittany, and Mercedes are wearing the same gold dresses in this song as they did when performing the Journey Medley in Journey to Regionals. Also this outfit also worn on the X-Factor while they're singing Don't Stop Believing.
- This is the second time Tina and Brittany have backed up for Kurt, the first being Single Ladies in Preggers.
Errors
- In the beginning of Not the Boy Next Door performance Rachel sits in the audience next to Blaine and Will with bangs and a black dress when moments previously she was with curly hair and a white dress. The change would be impossible in such a small period of time. (Although she was wearing a wig ready to come on in Not The Boy Next Door but she is ready for Don't Rain On My Parade).
