Adam:
|
Are Tripod ready, want to do their song-in-an-hour challenge this morning?
|
|
Scod:
|
Nah!
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Sooo not ready!
|
|
|
|
|
Adam:
|
Well, we'll pad for you for about another twenty seconds but that's probably not much help because you can't really play in the background. What have we set them this morning?
|
|
Yon:
|
Do you want to hear us rehearsing again, do you?
|
|
|
|
|
Adam:
|
What have we set them, Wil?
|
|
Wil:
|
Well, basically we asked for a love song - two people in a bit of a love song, with a third person interrupting said love song.
|
|
Adam:
|
Okay...
|
|
Wil:
|
But we didn't put any more boundaries on it than that. Whatever you want to take that with.
|
|
Adam:
|
Two people trying to crack onto each other while someone else just gets in the way. And then at the last second, (well, a little bit a while ago), we threw in a bit of a curve ball, and that was?
|
|
Wil:
|
That there should be a DVD feature in the song. You know, it could be a voiceover, it could be a little documentary, but a DVD feature of some kind.
|
|
Adam:
|
Added extras. Take it away, Tripod - the DVD version of the love song!
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Six years we've been together now,
|
|
Yon:
|
Just three larrikins, knocking about.
|
|
Scod:
|
Remember when we broke into the police station,
|
|
|
And tried to steal all the cops?
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
That was a bad idea,
|
|
|
But we were naive.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Come on, it wasn't that bad an idea! I reckon it would have worked if we'd all worn the cat suits and done cartwheels to avoid the lasers.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Yeah, thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
I thought those times would never change,
|
|
Yon:
|
I thought that we'd be shooting fruit launchers forever.
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
But now we've grown older and we're more comfortable in our skin,
|
|
Yon:
|
Urgh!
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
All kinds of grown-up feelings start slowly creeping in.
|
|
Yon:
|
You know, I've got hair on my shoulders now. Do you guys have that?
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Thanks. Shut up!
|
|
Scod:
|
Yon!
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Every day...
|
|
Scod:
|
Every day without you seems a little bit colder,
|
|
|
Every day...
|
|
Gatesy:
|
But when I think about you I'm a little bit bolder.
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
Maybe the time has come to run away...
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Where are we going?
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
I can't stop thinking of you,
|
|
Yon:
|
Thanks!
|
|
Scod:
|
Not you!
|
|
Gatesy:
|
There ain't no nothing we can't love each other through.
|
|
Yon:
|
"Ain't no nothing we can't"... that's a quadruple negative, well done!
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
So late at night, when heaven explodes,
|
|
|
And volcanoes start to burn.
|
|
|
I realise the naked truth,
|
|
|
That it's for you for whom I yearn.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
Oh Gatesy, will you be mine?
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Scoddy, yes I will!
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Ah, you're listening to Simon Hall, the director of this piece.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
This is Gatesy, I performed in it.
|
|
Yon:
|
This is the scene where, ah, Gatesy lowers himself down, upside-down in the rain...
|
|
Gatesy:
|
It was raining at the time, wasn't it?
|
|
Yon:
|
It was raining, and kisses Scod. And it was very difficult because he had to pull his mask off...
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Ohhh!
|
|
Yon:
|
And once the mask came off...
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Full of water!
|
|
Yon:
|
(Makes nasal noses) That's the rain, it went up his nose!
|
|
Gatesy:
|
And Scod's glasses were fogging up...
|
|
Yon:
|
Yeah, I remember we had to do fifty takes or so of that...
|
|
Gatesy:
|
But it was funny - we laughed.
|
|
Yon:
|
The bit you're watching now is, ah, is Scod standing on top of the Eiffel Tower in a bikini, but we felt that this didn't further the story so it was removed from the final cut.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Yeah, we deleted it.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
Every day...
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
Every day without you seems a little bit colder.
|
|
Yon:
|
Are there any duos out there that need a third person?
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Every day...
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
When I think about you I'm a little bit bolder.
|
|
Yon:
|
I don't play the guitar but people tell me I look funny.
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
Maybe the time has come to run away...
|
|
|
|
|
|
(Silence)
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Fellas? Fellas? They've gone!
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
To run away!
|
|
Yon:
|
Oh, still there.
