This is a bit outdated, too, the events. Near the end of Season 2.
Sorry if the lyrics to the songs are a bit off :/
Back at school Andrea kept her eyes peeled for either Annie or Jasper. She was paranoid to know if either of them knew she overheard them. And, she was getting ready for a band contest with Mairead. They were competing with the only other band in the school, the Gloria Steinems. Mairead and Andrea were doing their separate thing, however, based on their talents and interests. Mairead was going to do a guitar solo from a Green Day cover, and Andrea would be playing the keyboard/synthesizer, doing a Hot Chip cover. The band would be starting in about an hour, so now they were just getting ready. As Mairead was tuning her guitar, Andrea asked:
"So what are you and Liam up to?"
"Nothing, really." she replied. "We talk, in Chem you know. He mentioned his dad was back and he was going to move out of his mom and step-dad's place and with him. He seems really happy about it."
"So I guess it's a big deal, then?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Hmm. You know, I saw him talking to Naiomi this morning."
"You think they made up?"
"Maybe. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have feelings for anyone elllllse." Andrea sang.
Mairead blushed.
"You really think so?"
"Well...if you're just talking in Chem then no. You need to hang with him after school. Try asking him to go get a burger or something."
"Burger...right."
"You know, or. ask him to the beach, just to hang out."
"He DOES like to surf."
"There you go!"
The rivalry band was watching them from their corner, giving them dirty looks and suspicious stares.
"You think they're any good?" Leila asked.
"Don't know. But we'll see..." Gia said.
"Adrianna should be here. We'd be sure to win!"
"Well, she's not. She quit, remember?"
Adrianna wasn't even going to the concert. She was busy with Ivy's mom, going over some solo stuff. But inside, she felt guilty.
"So what song are you doing again?" Mairead asked Andrea.
"And I Was A Boy From School?"
"Riiiiiiiiiight."
"By Hot Chip? A.K.A. my favorite most favorite band en el mundo?"
"Uh-huh. You scared? Nervous?"
"Me? Nervous? Psssh...yes."
"Me too." Mairead laughed.
"What song are you doing?"
"Holiday by Green Day."
"Cool."
"Do you want to go first?"
"Heck no."
Mairead pouted. "Maybe the 'Gloria Steinems' can go first." she said in a mocking tone. "What kind of name is that anyway?"
"I don't know. Weird."
"I just don't get what it means."
"Me neither."
"Hmm. Well, I don't know if they have a specific order of performance, but..."
"They probably do."
"Why do I have a feeling I'm going to be first?"
A teacher got up on the stage in the auditorium, where the Gloria Steinems, Mairead, and Andrea were getting ready, and all the students came filling in. Everyone got settled and the teachers began to announce:
"Everybody settle down, settle down...welcome to the Beverly Hills talent contest concert! Wooo!"
The crowd cheered. A lot of people cheered for the Gloria Steinems to play. They therefore ended up going first.
"They're pretty good." Mairead whispered, looking through the curtain with Andrea.
"I GUESS...I don't know they sound kinda funky."
"It's a different kind of sound."
"It's weird. I'm surprised I don't like it."
"Maybe it's the people playing the instruments you don't like."
"Could be, Mairead, could be. Oh by the way I saw Liam in the park today with...ANNIE." Andrea growled.
"Really? Man you are such a stalker you see everyone everywhere."
"Doesn't make me a stalker, just a lucky observer. I am the eyes and ears of the universe!"
"That, and you're a stalker."
Andrea made something between a grunt and a sigh.
The Gloria Steinems finished their song.
"All right that was great, everyone give it up for the Gloria Steinems WOOO!"
The crowd cheered.
"Of course they cheer. Those girls are popular." Andrea complained.
"Alllll right! Our next contestant is...
Mairead Keogan!"
The crowd clapped, and as Mairead walked on stage with her guitar you could hear Andrea holler and scream in the wing. She shut up once she realized no one else was screaming.
"This song is called Holiday. It's by Green Day." Mairead announced.
She began with a pretty cool guitar opening. The crowd grew more and more cheerful as Mairead's awesomeness continued; her quick guitar solo was followed by some guy playing the drums below the stage in the orchestra area. Mairead sang:
"Say, hey!"
Mairead continued her sick guitar solo, and the drums loyally followed.
"Hear the sound of the falling rain, coming down like an Armageddon flame. The shame, the ones who died without a name, Hear the dogs howling out of key, to a hymn called faith and misery. And bleed, the company lost the war today...I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies, this is the dawning of the rest of our lives ON HOLIDAY!
"Hear the drum pounding out of time, another protester has crossed the line. To find, the money's on the other side. Can I get another Amen?"
The crowd cheered back "Amen!" keeping up with a constant clap.
"There's a flag wrapped around a score of men, a gag a plastic bag on a monument...I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies. This is the dawning of the rest of our lives...ON HOLIDAY!"
Mairead performed an awesome guitar solo as Andrea could be heard whooping in the background. A bass player below the stage harmoniously performed a sickilicious solo.
"The representative from California has the floor! Zieg Heil to the president gasman
bombs away is your PUNISHMENT! Pulverize the Eiffel towers who criticize your GOVERNMENT! Bang, bang goes the broken gasman! Kill all the fags that DON'T AGREE! Trials by fire, set in fire, it's not a flame that's MEANT FOR ME! Just cause...
The crowd cheered back "Hey, hey!"
"Just cause because we're outlaws...I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies, this is the dawning of the rest of our lives...on Holiday! I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies this is the dawning of the rest of our lives, on HOLIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!"
The crowd went wild. Mairead smiled, and waved, and spotted Liam in the crowd. He was cheering for her loudly and happily. She waved to him. He waved back. The teacher came back on stage, and Mairead went back to the wings.
"THAT WAS SICK!" Andrea shouted as soon as Mairead entered.
"Thanks. Hey, I saw Liam out in the crowd."
"Cool."
"And now for our last contestant, Andrea Churchill!" the teacher clapped.
"Good luck." Mairead said.
Andrea walked on stage with a keyboard and some other equipment including a long clear tube. She set the equipment down.
"Hey, I'm going to be doing a slightly different version of Boy From School by Hot Chip. Hope you like it." she said into the mic.
Before playing, Andrea took the long clear tube and stuck it down her throat.
"What the heck is she doing? What is that?" Mairead asked herself, watching Andrea started a beat on the keyboard, very fast paced and techno-y. Then she began to play the keyboard, a high pitched, very fast tune that sounded completely and utterly psychedelic. She sang:
"And I was a boy from schoooooolllll!"
"OMG THAT IS AWESOME!" Mairead yelled. Andrea's voice sounded JUST like a robot. She was using a talkbox.
"Helplessly helping all the ruuuullllesss...and there was a boy from schoooool...heartlessly wrestling all his fools...and there was a girl at schooool...blaming all the words she learned from home. Lives are found and loves are bound, say goodbye to nothing everything found."
The chorus went a but slower, but still has the same amount (if not more) of psychedelic funk.
"Weeee trrryyyyy, but we still got lost! Weeee tryyyyy, but we don't belong. Wee tryyyyy, but we still got lost. Weee trryyyyy, but we don't belong!"
The usual tune wrang out again;
"Now I find you on the streets, heartlessly breaking rules we meet. Lives are found and looves are looooost, say goodbye to nothing but everything passed..."
The funky techno, yet beautiful chorus played again.
"Weee trryyyy, but we still got lost, weee tryyyyy, but we don't belong. Weee trryyy, but we still got lost. Wee tryyy, but we don't belong!"
For the bridge, it was slow, pretty, and had an interesting keyboard solo. Then Andrea continued to sing:
"I got, I got lost. You said this was the way back."
Andrea alternated between robot voices for each sentence, so it sounded like 2 different people singing the bridge.
"I got, I got lost. You said this was the way back. I got, I got lost, you said this was the way back...Wee trryyyyyy! But we still got lost! Wee tryyyy, but we don't belong! Weee tryy, but we still got looost. Weee tryy, but we don't belong..."
Eventually the song died down into a techno-y melodic tune. Then, it ended. The crowd cheered. Andrea left the stage and Mairead in the back.
"That was so cool! You were all robot-y and techno-y and...YEAH!"
Andrea laughed. "Thanks!"
The two left the concert, not even staying to see who won. They didn't care, they had a fun performance.
