[When it starts, the video's vantage point is of 24 peering down at his scroll.]

Aw yeah, look at this!

[He disappears from view and then his face is replaced by a slightly rumpled copy of Hoovesweek clutched between his teeth. It's open to the positive review of their wings.]

Mroo huvs mup!

[24 spits out the magazine.]

If you missed our show in the park, we're still taking pre-orders. Talk to us if you don't want to get left on the ground.

And we weren't even trying!

[buckleupforsafety]

We get things done. I'll bet that's what the Princess saw in us.

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

She sure as hell wasn't admiring our thieving and infiltration skills when she hired us.

Okay. So if we do find a place, what are we gonna sing?

[buckleupforsafety]

Are there any good duets?

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Well, there's Summer Nights, Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, The Time Of My Life... Sound of Silence? Yeah, I think that one counts.

[buckleupforsafety]

I'm not singing the Olivia Newton John part.

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Hell, I don't want to, either.

I seriously don't want to do Ebony and Ivory, either.

[buckleupforsafety]

Is that racist?

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

I - No? It looks weird when you've got two white guys singing it.

Well... two beigish horses? (Or whatever color 24 is.) And I don't want these ponies to think I'm all "Ooh yes, Unicorns and regular horses and pegasii should all just be besty friends."

[buckleupforsafety]

(Yes, let's say beige and overlook my failure as a pony player to establish this.)

Ugh. You're right. There's enough friendship around here as it is.

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

See what I mean?

I can't think of any duets that aren't disgustingly sappy, or all about friendship.

[buckleupforsafety]

Then there's only one solution.

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Sing two entirely different songs separately?

[buckleupforsafety]

No! We need to sing something that will rock their hooves off!

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

"We Will Rock You"?

[buckleupforsafety]

Aw, now I wish I hadn't said "rock their hooves off". That's a terrible image.

Maybe. But if you do "We Will Rock You", it's just not the same if you don't go into "We Are the Champions" and it starts to lose its edge.

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Yeah, you're right. I think five minutes might be too long for karaoke. Not that we couldn't pull it off, because we totally could! But I think we should save that for some other occasion. Like, I dunno, Celestia's wedding or whatever. Or some sort of graduation.

Hmm. Born In The USA? Ugh, no, no. It'd go way over their heads. Damn, this is tough. So friggin' tough.

[buckleupforsafety]

We totally could.

Do ponies even graduate? What do they graduate from - Sunshine and Smiles School?

What about "Friends in Low Places"?

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Well, it's not like we could do it at the Superbowl or anything. I don't think horses play sports.

No. No, the 'you can kiss my ass' won't go over well. They'll think we're talking about a literal ass. Like. A donkey ass. How about... Livin' On A Prayer? Nah. How about I'm A Believer?

[buckleupforsafety]

They could play soccer. But I'm not singing at The World Cup.

Wait. You're going to have to repeat yourself. Because I can't believe that I actually just heard you pass up Livin' On A Prayer for I'm A Believer.

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

I... actually would like to see horses playing soccer. I would sing at the World Cup just so that we could sit through that.

I think that might rock these ponies a little too hard. Plus, it's like, not really something you can break up into a duet, really.

[buckleupforsafety]

No, we totally could! To start with, there's parts about Tommy and Gina. We could split those up. Or do you not even know the song?

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Dude, of course I have!

[He taps his hoof against his chin.]

Okay, we split it up that way. Should we alternate? Like, I do the Tommy parts and you do the Gina lyrics for the first stanza, then reverse it for the second stanza?

[buckleupforsafety]

That doesn't make any sense. Why would we switch?

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Dude, don't get pissy. It was just an idea to break up the song a little more!
