Oh, lads, we're gonna be amazing.

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?

So what are we called, then? All right, what about... The Rabbits? What's the story with you and rabbits? I don't know, I just love them. What about La Vie? What's that mean? It's French for "The Life." What's French for, uh, "That's not gonna be the name of the band"? C'est nes pas le nom du groupe. There you go. What about... Sing Street?

It's like when you don't know someone, they're more interesting. They can be anything you want them to be. Yeah. But when you know them, there's limits to them. No, that doesn't make any sense. What's it called? "The Riddle of the Model." So what about a rhythm like this?

Hey, baby! Hi. - This is Evan Adams. - Word. - How do you do? - This is the singer in the band I was telling you about. Oh, yeah, she played me your song. Good vibes. Little bit of Duran Duran in there, bit of New Romance. What style would you say you were? I'm a futurist. Epic. See you in the future, then.
