Before the song starts, we go to a desktop computer screen that gives us a 16-bit image of the original Digital Monsters logo. Then, we zoom into the screen as we enter a wall of 0s and 1s, they fade away to reveal the DATS logo on Matt's cell phone. He answers the message; and in several other places around the world, the other members of the team answer as well. They meet up in Japan.
Somebody
Told her that there
Was a place like heaven
Across the water on a 747
Yeah, we're living in
In a modern world
Soon, they're whisked away on a company jet as their "band" front is set up. All around the world, fans await the arrival of "The Teenage Wolves". And secretly, so do a group of evil Digimon, led by Bagramon.
And pretty soon
She's really got the notion
Of flying out across
The big blue ocean
Yeah, we're living in
In a modern world
Matt and the team get the call from Sampson and Kudamon, and then summon their Digimon. Then, they take turns charging up their DigiSoul and activating their new Digivices (Digivice ic5), as their Digimon Digivolve and Armor Digivolve.
Talk is cheap on satellite
But all I get is (static)
Information, I'm still here
Redial on automatic
We get a shot of the DWT crew riding out into battle (Rika on Kyubimon, Greg on Raidramon, Matt on Garurumon, T.K. on Pegasusmon, Kari on Nefertimon, Thomas on Gaogamon, and Marcus hitching a ride as GeoGreymon walks along). As they ride through, they pass by flags of various countries and various people they'll have to meet. We then come back to the band as they're performing. As they come to the conclusion, they pose for the camera.
(Calling America)
Can't get a message through
(Calling America)
That's what she said to do
(Calling America)
That's where she has to be
(Calling America)
She left a number for me
(Calling America)
A spotlight zooms past them to reveal the Digimon World Tour logo.
