Ryan Seacrest: Hello and welcome to the Great American Band, I'm Ryan Seacrest and tonight coming from the LA area we have 24 bands playing for your votes for this 3 hour premiere. Our first band (walks toward the Monkees) is from the LA area so may I talk to the leader of the band
Mike: That would be me
Ryan Seacrest: That's kind of a strong Texas accent for someone from LA.
Mike: I'm from Texas the band formed in LA
Ryan Seacrest: Okay so what's your anme?
Mike: I'm Michael Nesmith
Ryan Seacrest: Pardon Michael Nesmit
Mike: Nesmith
Ryan Seacrest: Sorry Mike would you like to introduce your bandmates?
Mike: On keyboards from Connecticut Peter Tork, on bass from Manchester, England Davy Jones.
Ryan Seacrest: Ah the poster child of the group
Mike: And last but not least our drummer and lead singer tonight from LA Micky Dolenz.
Ryan Seacrest: The drummer sings? Is this a novelty act?
Mike: No our song tonight is Porpoise Song.
Ryan Seacrest: Seriously is this like Tenacious D, Spinal Tap, the Blues Brothers or (laughing) maybe more like the Partridge Family or Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Mike: No
Ryan Seacrest: Seriously Porpoise Song?
Micky: Have you heard it before?
Ryan Seacrest: No actually I have not so what is the name of your band?
Mike: The Monkees
Ryan Seacrest: Seriously?
Micky: Yes now let us play.
Ryan Seacrest: Okay (backs off stage)
Micky: Start Peter (Song: Porpoise Song)
My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
And it cannot rejoice
Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky
But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye
good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style
Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie
But the porpoise is waiting good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye (crowd roars with applause)
Mike: We may not win but we already made it.
