Request Line: Duets

INT. UNDERDOG SPORTS BAR – NIGHT

A thin crowd mulls around a dimly lit sports bar.  Practically every available surface in the bar is covered with a television screen; most are showing basketball and hockey games.  A door behind the bar marked “OFFICE” opens and the bar manager emerges, followed by a large piece of electrical equipment.

BAR MANAGER: …and again, I can’t thank you enough for filling in for the regular guy tonight.

DJ 3000: IT IS MY PLEASURE.

BAR MANAGER: Do you need any…

DJ 3000: [has already plugged itself into a sound board at the far end of the bar] NOPE, I’M GOOD.

The bar lights brighten slightly.

DJ 3000: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…[looks around more closely]…WELL, GENTLEMEN, ANYWAYS…[looks around again at the shabbily-dressed crowd]…WELL, ALL YOU DUDES OUT THERE, ANYWAYS…WELCOME TO KARAOKE NIGHT AT THE UNDERDOG BAR.  I AM YOUR HOST DJ 3000.  I CAN SEE THAT SOME OF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE MASTERING THE MICROSOFT SURFACE TABLET SIGNUP SHEET BUT ONCE YOU SEE HOW MUCH FUN THIS IS I’M SURE YOU’LL POWER THROUGH AND FIGURE IT OUT.  LET’S GET RIGHT TO THE MUSIC!  THE FIRST SINGER – OR I SHOULD SAY SINGERS BECAUSE IT’S A DUET – ARE TOM AND BILL.  COME ON UP, YOU GUYS!

A very drunk TOM BRADY drags an obviously reluctant BILL BELICHICK to the stage and winks at DJ 3000, who cues up the music.

TOM:
You’re a full time hardass and part time friend,
That hoodie looks ridiculous but it’s become a trend,
I couldn’t win with anyone else but you.

BILL:
Grumble grumble grumble grumble grumble grumble grumble
Grumble mumble mumble grumble grumble grumble grumble
Grumble grumble grumble grumble grumble grumble fuck you

TOM: 
Here is the church and here is the steeple,
Patriot fans really are the worst people,
I couldn’t win with anyone else but you.

BACKUP SINGER ELI MANNING: 
Screw Ben McA-doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

TOM: 
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, “b”, “a”, start.
Just because we cheat doesn’t mean we aren’t smart.
I couldn’t win with anyone else but you.

BILL:
Grumble grumble grumble grumble grumble grumble
Grumble grumble grumble should be watching film a grumble
Grumble grumble grumble grumble waste of my goddamned time
[tosses aside microphone, leaves]

5. A gift to Wee Baby Seamus, but these two have incredible voices. Go ahead, mock like you’ve never mocked before.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsgbRuGZe64

yeah right

Love this band and have for longer than many of you have been on the planet.

Yeah, that’s the stuff.

4. The only time Jimmy Fallon is tolerable is when he’s being musical.

3. The (sadly) late Pat Dinizio and Belinda Carlisle singing about strange-colored menses:

‘Easy Lover” getting more thumbs up than ‘Did You Evah’ is Trump’s America manifesting itself in comment form.

SonOfSpam

I dunno, man…Easy Lover has a black guy singing with a foreigner, so I feel like most Trumpists wouldn’t be down with that.

scotchnaut

My comment was site-specific. Given that parameter, I’m quite confident that Tom Brady will very soon die in a fire.

SonOfSpam

I don’t understand the first part, but I like the second part.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m breaking the rules in more ways than one here (too many entries and not sure if this counts as a duet or not)…but sorry, not sorry….

SonOfSpam

Can’t give you shit for this…what would “Groundhog Day” be without it?

And no, it was never too early for a Sonny Ski Suicide joke.

3. Kind of a Beauty and the Beast thing here, but it works.

15 year old me LOVED this song. Good pick!

Excellent Ned-Beatty-raping tune. Then again, what isn’t?

2. I don’t have any actual stats, but it seems like these two might smoke all the pot.

I dated a girl who told me that she didn’t like this song. That was the moment I knew it wasn’t going to work out.

Here’s to drunk chicks singing along with this in bars 25+ years ago!

This is actually a trio if you consider the whale noises. No one ever considers the whale noises.

SonOfSpam

Should we assume you don’t want stuff like Simon and Garfunkel or Daft Punk (i.e., two-person groups)? Just singers getting together for a specific song?

SonOfSpam

Elisha’s part is just the fucking best.

Game Time Decision

gaming nerd alert. Miss going to the arcade sometimes.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

The man beat Contra without using it (so I’ve been told) and he’ll always have my respect there.
