Day 7

[ Instead of his normal morning announcements, this morning you awaken to… Ronald McDonald playing a lovely tune for all of you with his band. Audible even over the metal is a louder sound of scraping, and a low rumble that persists throughout the song. ]

[ Afterward, you'll find that a new hallway has appeared in the studio. Where there was once an empty wall, there is now a theater! And your tablets will display the rules for a brand new competition… ]

I mean, if you're just doing singing and percussion, we can't get too fancy anyway. But we'll go with a theme like, uh, the simplicity makes your natural artistic skills stand out. And cuteness, there should probably be costumes involved.

If we're going with Spontaneous Masterpiece, maybe the setting should be like, something natural? You were all... at a sleepover or... something that girls do. And you were just playing around and ended up performing this amazing song. True art comes from friendship and feelings, not high-budget effects and guitar solos. Something like that.

Our costumes are not going to be pyjamas.

Not a sleepover then! Maybe you were out... shopping? Trying on fancy clothes?

Shopping could work. Makeovers are a type of art too.

If you wanted to get some product placement in there, you could be getting some burgers in the middle of your shopping trip.

...Hmmm.

You know, last time I went to a mall, it got attacked by terrorists and me and my friends fought our way out by dropping TVs from the electronics department on them.

What if we turn this into a parody song where the girly artsy shopping trip ends with fighting off terrorists in a food fight. I bet our fast food sponsors would lap that up.

I bet that would go over well.

We can start off super slow and cutesy, and then oh no the terrorists attack! And Mary can bang on the drums as hard as she wants.

Sounds great. It'll be a break with expectations, that's always good for being memorable.

[Get her a pen it is time to BRAINSTORM LYRICS]

Quick, what are cutesy girly mall things? Like, candy stores and teddy bears, dress up stuff? What else?

Uhhh.

[ Quick, Rhys, you can do this. ]

Shoes. Definitely shoes. Expensive handbags?? Bath products, makeup. Exfoliating lotions.
