Jeremy plays Barney's music to Super Hans
Super Hans: Yeah, this is raw. Who is this, is this us?
Jez: It's a simple shit-muncher. Sophie's cousin.
Super Hans: Shit, he's done something there. Inie? How's he done that?
Jez: I think that what's happening is maybe two or three different musical things, at the same time!
Super Hans: This is the kind of thing we should be doing. Complicated shit.
Jez: Only thing is. Doing complicated shit like this... wouldn't that be against the Big Beat Manifesto?
Super Hans: Have you read the Big Beat Manifesto lately?
Jez: Did we write it down?
Super Hans: The Big Beat Manifesto goes "Big Beats are the best, Get high all the time".
Jez: Right. At the time, it felt like a much more all-encompassing philosophy.
Super Hans: Can we have this? Can we use it?
Jez: Well, listening to this, it did make me think. Lately, I've been having some ideas and this is exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of doing.
Super Hans: He's nicked your idea?
Jez: Well, has he? That's what I'm wondering. Nicked my idea and done it back to me?
Super Hans: I reckon we should invite him down. I think we could teach this kid a thing or two.
Jez: And till he arrives, should we send this out to promoters?
Super Hans: Yeah, I think this is probably the best example of the sort of stuff we'd do we've ever had.
Jez: Oh yeah. 'cause sometimes it's really hard actually to do your own ideas.
