LEADSINGER: We are the guys smiling in your daughter’s posters. Ethnically equally cast boys pretending to be best friends. Like in a soda ad. One of us is singing. The others just look good and do the background vocals.
BACKING VOCALS: We do the background vocals.
LEADSINGER: We sing about love, broken hearts and relationships.
BACKING VOCALS: Twelve year-old girls seem to like this.
LEADSINGER: Yes, we have opinions, too. Like about politics and religion and stuff.
BACKING VOCALS: But no one wants to hear that.
LEADSINGER: We don’t have girlfriends. For several reasons.
BACKING VOCALS: Four skinny guys in tight pants with a bachelor in modern musical dancing. Wink.
FEATURE RAPPER: I’m the feature. Ten seconds of wired nonsense rap break. Took me 5 seconds to write it – piece of cake. I don’t know these guys. I’m a real G. But their label pays good, so they can pretend to hang out with me.
LEADSINGER: Look daddy, no need to be scared of us. We just want your daughter’s pocket money.
BACKING VOCALS: Much better than sex.
LEADSINGER: And by next year we will be forgotten anyway.
BACKING VOCALS: Failed solo-projects.
