Yeah, you should probably learn the lyrics. So you can lip-sync to them properly. We're shooting at the lane at the back of Quinnsworth. - You know Quinnsworth? - Yeah. This Saturday at 12:00. Cool. Well, I'll try and make it. What would I wear? I don't know. It's kind of like a Chinese theme. So, like, a kimono? Well, it's more like a riff than a song.

That's really sweet. Oh. No, it's not about you. It's about another model I know. Oh. Right, well, I'll give it a listen, but I'm, like, really, really busy at the moment. You know, so I'll try. Yeah, you should. It's a, it's a good song. We've got a great team. It's a really good opportunity. Cool. So this Saturday at 12:00, then? 12:00. Sounds good. - Thanks. - Cool. Bye.

I don't know. Who the hell brought a cowboy costume? Me. It's all I could find. No one wears a cowboy costume in a band. There's a cowboy in the Village People. And Adam Ant. Adam Ant is a highwayman. So we can have a highwayman, but we can't have a cowboy? Are you mentally ill? I got fangs in the joke shop. What are you gonna do with them?

It's me da's show band outfit. So it's a gay band? Okay. Coming from the one who wants to look like the Village People. What's gay about the Village People? Hello, all. Sorry I'm late. I was out last night. At a nightclub. Jesus Christ, what are you all wearing? Yeah, we're just working that out. Um, maybe you can help. Well, who's your costume person? We don't really have a costume person. Well, who's your cameraman? Maybe he can make some of this work. Well, we don't really have... I'm the cameraman. Thought you were the producer. And the cameraman. Saving money at all costs, yeah.

In fact, you should all be wearing makeup. Yeah, I'm not wearing any makeup. Relax, you're not even in the band. Yeah, thank God. I'm in the band, and I will not be wearing any makeup. Thank you. Why? You've got great lips. No, piss off. I'm not wearing makeup. Whatever. Those of you who actually care about the band and want to do this half properly, queue over there. Okay, so we're playing over here, and Raphina's standing over there against the wall. I go up to you and start singing to you. Make sure to pan up to her eyes when I sing the line, "She's got dangerous eyes." I think a zoom would be better. Okay, a zoom, whatever. Do you think I should have, lightning flashes on my eyelids when I close 'em? Can you do that? I can do anything. Cool. So then for the chorus, you walk off and I follow, circling you like when he's following her in the "Thriller" video. - Have you seen the "Thriller" video? - Yeah. Cool. So then I follow you up the laneway, keeping behind you, and then we'll swing around and get the angle in front. - Let's shoot it. - Right, let's shoot. It's just some kids filming something. What are yous filming, lads?
