Chapter 4
Disclaimer: Nope. Nada. Nothing.
Tyler walked up to the microphone wringing his hands nervously. He took a deep breath and nodded up at the booth where Mr. Banner was sitting, signaling the start of the music.
Before Tyler even got a chance to open his mouth I heard Edward let out a snort behind me. Turning, I looked at him with a surprised look.
"Did you just snort?" I asked. He just nodded his head up at the stage. Turning back, I looked up to see Tyler start to sing.
"Well we're comin' to your city
gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song
we'll all be flyin' higher than a jet airliner
and if ya wanna little bang in your ying yang
come along."
Just like everyone else in the gym, I bust out laughing. Turning back around, I looked up at Edward.
"Oh." He said "Just you wait."
Right at that moment, Mike came out of the shadows to join Tyler on stage.
"Well we flew thru cincinnati
and we all got really happy
grabbed a bowl of that skyline chili
along the way."
"Oh my god." Was all I could say. "Is this really happening?"
"Afraid so." Was the only answer I received. "They think themselves bad ass now." He added.
"Then we rolled on into canton
scared the hell out of Marilyn Manson
and the party started happenin' … hey hey."
"Do they even know who Marilyn Manson is?" I asked with a laugh.
"And in the middle of a Charleston night
we ran into Jessica White
and a little moonshine got us right
plumb smack insane."
By now most were past the sheer insanity of the song choice as well as the just-this-side-of-dirty dance moves the boys were doing up on the stage. Instead of being surprised now, everyone was dancing and moving to the music. Edward and myself included.
"They are gonna get so busted for this aren't they?" I asked while wrapping my arms around Edward's neck from my position in front of him.
He chuckled and said "probably." With that, we both glanced at Alice who was standing close to the stage dancing with her back to Jasper with his hands on her waist. Seeing us, she nodded enthusiastically.
I just laughed again.
"Well we're comin' to your city
gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song.
We'll all be flyin' higher than a jet airliner
and if ya wanna little bang in your ying yang
come along."
"Well we broke down in Greenville
in the middle of a hayfield
but a Bud Lite truck pulled up
and helped us out.
So we dead headed up to Philly
partied down like real hillbillies
brought the music mafia and rocked it out.
Oh Chippewa is where we go
when we're up in Buffalo
don't ya know those yankees
drink enough to drown."
Somehow, Edward's hands had moved to hold onto my waist as he moved me against him.
"You know," he said "I doubt they even know half of what they're saying at this point."
I cracked up, throwing my hands high above my hands as I moved.
"Probably not." I answered breathlessly as we continued to move.
"Well we're comin' to your city
gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song.
We'll all be flyin' higher than a jet airliner
and if ya wanna little bang in your ying yang
come along
come along"
Then, Tyler stepped forward as he continued without Mike in a solo verse.
"Listen up.
Now LA's got the freaks
at Pink's and the fifteen dollar drinks
and San Antonio is a wild wild rodeo
and in Phoenix, Arizona
we drank way too much Corona
and we woke up by the river in Jeff City, MO"
Continuing to dance as close to Edward as I was, I blocked out the music; this is heaven. I only vaugly registered that Mike had come forward to join Tyler again.
"Well we're comin' to your city,
gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song.
We'll all be flyin' higher than a jet airliner,
and if ya wanna little bang in your ying yang
well we're comin' to your city
gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song
we'll all be flyin' higher than a jet airliner
and if ya wanna little bang in your ying yang"
"Bang in your ying yang." I muttered "That's just wrong."
"Well," Edward laughed "it is Big and Rich. They aren't exactly known for politically correct music."
"If ya wanna little zing in your zang zang
if ya wanna little ching in your chang chang
come along
come along
come along."
The boys came up close to the end of the stage as their song came to a close.
"Yeah we're comin' to your city!"
Jumping up and landing in some wanna-be gangster pose, they ended their song to roaring applause.
"I'm not sure if the applause is more for them or for the song itself." I said
Edward laughed saying "A little of both it seems."
"Alright!" Mr. Banner exclaimed from up in his booth. "That was Tyler and Mike with "Comin' to your City" by Big and Rich. Awesome job guys!"
A/N: Who is up next? I certainly have no idea. Requests, thoughts, ideas? Let me know. Also, sorry for the loooonnnnnggg break. Finishing high school and starting college (I'm in my second year) has been nuts. Add on top of that medical issues and family drama. So I'm so sorry. Please stick with me!
