There's a black guy in 3B. So? - Be cool if he was in the band. - Why? He's probably the one black guy in the whole school. Probably in Dublin. Having a golliwog in the band give us a real edge. You can't say "golliwog." Why not? Trust me, you just can't. And anyway, what if he can't play anything? He'll be able to play something; he's black.

"Futurist band forming. Looking for a bass player, drummer." That's us. "Influences include Depeche Mode, Duran Duran and many more." - Faggots. - Piss off, Ryan. "Contact Management Solutions, 361 at St. Theresa's Gardens. No telephone, just call in." Sounds like a gig for us. Let's go.

What are you doing? I'm just letting the stink of that out, man. Whew. That was bad, bad music. And there is nothing as bad in this world as bad music. - You know you can record over tapes? - No.

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.

Yeah. There you can do a stop. - Yeah. - And I come in and sing. # The riddle of the model. # Like, would everybody stop? - Yeah. Yeah, everyone. - Like, the drums - will do a... - Yeah. No, yeah. We-we all stop. - Fireworks and lights and shit. I don't know. - Yeah. - Everyone. - And they all... - Everyone stops, yeah. - Crazy shit, that'd be cool. - I like that. - Yeah, yeah. So maybe like a... # Oh, oh, oh # # The riddle of the model. # - Yeah. - Yeah, I like that. That's good. - Yeah, that's cool. - Yeah. Do you, do you have a hoover? Check out this effect. It's like "Video Killed the Radio Star." Go.

A video for a band. Hi, Barry. Are these in your school, Barry? Yeah, they are, yeah. But they're wearing bleedin' makeup. I know. Oh, yous making a movie, lads, is it? Nah, it's just a video for a band. You should get in a band, Barry. Put on lipstick, dance around and all. - You'd be bleedin' great. - Piss off.

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?

# She's standing on the corner # # Like an angel in disguise # # And as I look a little closer # # She's got dangerous eyes # - # She tells me she's a model # - I'm a model. # Of international reputation # # She's lightning in a bottle # # But there's a stipulation # # She's so indecipherable # # She holds the key to the missing code # # Just the thought of her touch # # My mind explodes # # So desirable # # Time never will unfold # # Oh, oh, oh # # The riddle of the model # # The odds are against her # # In this little city # # She's got a taste for adventure # # And she knows she's pretty # # She's the face of an angel # # And the heart of a sinner # # And if you play with danger # # How you gonna win her? # # She's so indecipherable # # She holds the key to the missing code # # Just the thought of her touch # # My mind explodes # # So desirable # # Time never will unfold # # I'll never unravel # # The riddle of the model. # Why don't we go eat these in the park?

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.

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.
