The spoof features Franzese and fellow actor Adrian Anchondo, who also wrote and directed it. Members of the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus get in on the fun too. If you want more Daniel Franzese in your life, the actor will [appear ](http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/08/27/looking-daniel-franzase/)in the next season of HBO’s _Looking_. Maybe then we’ll finally find out whether or not he [got his pink shirt back](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=338Q-PaZSfA). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3485413/damian-mean-girls-sam-smith-stay-with-me/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3485413/damian-mean-girls-sam-smith-stay-with-me/"},"headline":"Damian From Mean Girls Made a Hilarious Parody of 'Stay With Me'","datePublished":"2014-10-09T17:44:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:13:42.187Z","description":"\"Oh won't you please go home / I wanna be alone\"","url":"https://time.com/3485413/damian-mean-girls-sam-smith-stay-with-me/","keywords":["Newsfeed","mean girls","Music","viral","Sam Smith"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9f37d5881dc8eff2/69875f7606f2c14ac1331364/screen-shot-2014-10-09-at-12-36-01-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9f37d5881dc8eff2/69875f7606f2c14ac1331364/screen-shot-2014-10-09-at-12-36-01-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-10-09 at 12.36.01 PM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3485413/damian-mean-girls-sam-smith-stay-with-me/","name":"Damian From Mean Girls Made a Hilarious Parody of 'Stay With Me'"}}]}] ```
