BC: Thank you so very much, thank you. How is everybody doing tonight? ... I know. Thank you, um...um, um, um. We’d now like to play for you our latest single. It’s number one in America, actually. We beat out Christina Aguilera for the top spot. Now that Christina’s moving back towards her Latin roots, we feel we have a chance. This song is called Why Try.

Iha: Danke, thank you. How are you guys doin’? Still rockin’? I’d like to make a quick introduction of the rock band. On the piano, Mr. Mike Garson. He’s a good man. On the keyboards, Mr. Chris Holmes. Wow, you looked like Ozzy like that with the fringe and stuff.
BC: But there was another guy with the mustache earlier.
Iha: Yeah, who was that guy? On the bass (pronounced like the fish) guitar, Ms. Melissa Auf der Maur. Auf der Maur. Auf der Maur. Alright, alright. On the drums, back in action, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin! What’d you think of that drum solo? Do you remember the drum solo? Yes, heh heh. On vocals and guitar, songwriting, Mr. Billy Corgan. Thank you, thank you. And I am Pedro, your humble guitar assistant. And now we go back many albums....
BC: Wait wait wait wait wait, hold on.
Iha: Don’t you like this segue?
BC: No. We’re supposed to say thank you to all our fans for ten great years.
Iha: (screams) And thank you!
BC: Thank you.
Iha: Thank you, motherfuckers!
BC: Thank you.
Iha: Thank you.
BC: Thank you to all of our fans for the past ten years. We love you, we appreciate your support very much. Some naked guy wants to hear some old song that we don’t know how to play anymore, I’m very sorry. We’ll get you some clothes.
1979 (acoustic, Jimmy plays guitar)
Iha: Woooo! Ew. Ew. Where’s that FX box?
