Whoville is a fictional town created by author Theodor Seuss Geisel, under the name Dr. Seuss. Whoville appeared in the books Horton Hears a Who! and How the Grinch Stole Christmas! However, there were significant differences between the two renditions.
The exact location of Whoville seems to vary depending on which book or media is being referenced. According to the book Horton Hears a Who!, the city of Whoville is located within a floating speck of dust which is then placed onto a clover flower by Horton the Elephant. In the book How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, Whoville's location is not mentioned. Further, in the 1977 television special Halloween Is Grinch Night, additional geographic features are added to Whoville such as Punkers Pond. Again, however, its greater location is not mentioned, but in both works it can be assumed Whoville is still located within its speck on the clover.
In the 1970s television special Horton Hears a Who! as well as the 2008 CGI-animated film of the same name, Whoville retains its literary location being within a speck on a clover flower. The 1966 television special How the Grinch Stole Christmas! also stays true to the literature.
Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is
Chill out whatcha yellin' for?
Lay back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're driving in your car
and you're talking to me one on one but you become
Somebody else 'round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You try to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn
it into honesty
and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no
You come over unannounced
dressed up like you're something else
where you are and where it's at you see
you're making me
laugh out when you strike your pose
take off all your preppy clothes
you know you're not fooling anyone
when you become
Somebody else 'round everyone else
Watching your back, like you can't relax
Trying to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break
and you take what you get and you
turn it into honesty
you promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no
Chill out whatcha yelling for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
Somebody else 'round everyone else
You're watching your back, like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you
turn it into honesty
and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
