RONI: Oh, Dan, I didn't think you could read music.

DAN: Oh, I can't, no...

Popularity rank 13 #194. Just repeat the chorus again

January 7, 2009

DAN: John, it's 4 AM, man. We've gotta stop writing this song. Let's just repeat the chorus again and go to sleep.

JOHN: NO!! It's gotta be something NEW, Dan! The BEATLES wouldn't "just repeat the chorus again"!!

A pause.

DAN: The Beatles don't have an early shift at Kinko's tomorrow.
JOHN: We don't sleep until we redefine the fundamental structure of pop music!

DAN: ...swing it around like Kratos in GOD OF WAR... my Blade of Chaos... MUSICAL chaos... ooo, MUSICHAOS!!!
ROGER THE MANAGER: Dan?

DAN: ...oh, hey look! ... Roger's here! ...
ROGER THE MANAGER: (sigh) All right, I'm just gonna leave the room now, Dan...

JOHN: No, no, just-- look, the future of music is the Internet, right?
CHRISTINA: Did you get our demo onto iTunes?

JOHN: OK, Jesus, just let me-- I made us a MySpace page, OK? A-and it's gonna take us to the Next Level!
