Tongue Tied by GROUPLOVE is featured in Nationals, the twenty-first episode of Season Three. It is sung by the New Directions with solos from Artie, Finn, Rachel, and Santana.
The song is sung when they triumphantly return to McKinley, following their win at Nationals. The school welcomes them with open arms, celebrating their win, as opposed to what the Glee Club thought as they walked into the school. They saw two Hockey players with slushie cups in their hands assuming they are slushies but turning out to be confetti.
This song is done in the background as a montage. During the montage, we see New Directions opening champagne bottles, walking through the hallways while confetti is thrown around, a few couples kissing, enemies becoming friends, Emma having her "first time" with Will, and at the end, a younger high school girl asking Rachel to sign her yearbook.

Artie with New Directions:
Woow!
Rachel and Santana with New Directions:
Woah!
Artie with New Directions:
Take me to your best friend's house
Goin' around this roundabout
Oh yeah
Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now
Oh yeah
Finn (and Rachel) with New Directions:
Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
(Don't...)
(Break!)

Oh! Take me to your best friend's house
Marmalade, we're making out, oh yeah,
Oh! Take me to your best friend's house

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't...
Brake!
Rachel and Santana:
One, two, three, four
Don't leave me tongue tied
Let's stay up all night
I'll get real high
Slumber party, pillow fight
My eyes and your eyes
Like Peter Pan up in the sky
My best friend's house tonight
Let's bump the beats 'til beddy-bye

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
(Don't take me tongue tied)
(Don't kiss me goodnight)

Don't wave no goodbye (Don't leave, no)

Don't leave me tongue tied (Don't leave me)
Don't wave no goodbye (Don't leave, no)
Artie and Finn with New Directions (Santana):
Don't leave me tongue tied (Don't leave me)
Don't...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah...

Oh-oh-ohoh
Trivia[]
- This is the fourth time that a song has been featured in the background of a clip rather than showing the singer(s) singing the song. The first time was Don't Make Me Over in Hairography (although just the instrumental), the second was Smile in Mattress, and the third was You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch in A Very Glee Christmas.
- Naya Rivera said on Twitter that her favorite Brittana moment is the kiss from this performance.
- Despite this song never charting, the original song re-entered the US Billboard Hot 100 at #74 the same week this episode aired.
Mistakes[]
- Coach Beiste was walking towards the right side of Emma, but after Will came in she was on his right side.
- Emma holds the Lima newspaper and it shows a photo on the front of Will stood next to the Nationals trophy. But in one of the next scenes, they're in the choir room which the photo was set. This may be because the scenes were meant to be out of place for effect.
