That was a novelty act. You want to have actual sexual intercourse, right? - Yeah. What, what? - The girl. It's all about the girl, isn't it? Yeah, the girl, yeah. And you're gonna use somebody else's art to get her? Are you kidding? We're just starting. We need to learn how to play. Did the Sex Pistols know how to play? You don't need to know how to play. Who are you? Steely Dan? You need to learn how not to play, Conor. That's the trick. That's rock and roll. And that takes practice. And you're not a covers band, by the way. - Really? - No. Every school has a covers band. Every pub has a covers band. Every wedding has a covers band. And every covers band has a middle-aged member who'll never know whether they could've made it in the music industry or not because they never had the balls to write a song for someone else. Rock and roll is a risk. You risk being ridiculed. But I don't know how to write a song. Close that door and sit down. - Really? - It's gonna be a long night. I've school in the morning. This is school. "She's standing on the corner like an angel in disguise. "I want to try and warn her. She's got dangerous eyes." "Dangerous eyes." I like that. What does it mean? I don't know. What's the song about, Conor?

I'll be in your band. I'll play guitar. And I'll help write songs. We could rehearse here 'cause my da's in Saint John of Gods. - Is that a pub? - No, Darren. It's a place where alcoholics go to get off the drink, stop beating up their wives and kids. Right. And neighbors. Who's gonna be the manager? Me. Have you managed bands before? No, I'm just breaking into the market. Got to get everything straight. Get everything down on paper first. Otherwise, the major record labels can rip you off when they come hunting. That's what me da says.

I'm more of a singer. I write songs, words, lyrics. But I haven't put them to music yet. What kind of music are yous gonna be doing? Well, I-I don't know yet. What d'you mean you don't know? You have to know what you're gonna be playing. What are you into? I'm a futurist. What does that mean? Like, uh, no nostalgia. Not like your da's band. Not looking backwards, just forwards. Oh, cool. Like Depeche Mode? - Okay. - Or Joy Division? Right. Or Duran Duran? What do you think of them?

- Wow. - Can I help you? Is this the house where the colored lad lives? Four doors down. What do you think? How many black people do you think that lives on this shitty estate? - Do you know Ngig? - What's that? Ngig. My son. We're putting a band together. Does he play any instruments? Why don't you ask him yourself? We are putting a band together. I am the manager. What the hell is wrong with him?

When'd you want to rehearse? Not at the weekends. He's got a job packing shelves in Quinnsworth on Saturdays. You're not giving that up for any band, d'you hear me? Yeah. What about Mondays and Wednesdays after school? That's fine. Sounds good. Now all we need is other musicians. Do yous know any? - No. - Eamon? He usually just plays on his own. Don't you, love? Right, well, we can't get any peace in here. Let's continue this meeting outside.

# Moving on the floor now, babe # # You're a bird of paradise # # Cherry ice-cream smile # # I suppose it's very nice # # Her name is Rio # # And she dances on the sand # # Just like that river # # Twisting through a dusty land # # And when she smiles # # She really shows you all she can # # Oh, Rio, Rio # # Dance across the Rio Grande. # - Sped up a bit there at the end. - Really? - That sounded great. - Yeah, we sound deadly. Oh, lads, we're gonna be amazing.

Do you actually not get that like? Sing Street. - Oh! - I like that. - Gobshites. - Yeah, I like it.

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.
