Fall Out Boy – Uma Thurman (Official Music Video)
@umathurman, we don’t care if you sing, or not, but you need to be our lead singer.
Cool?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. We understand you are on the tall side. We’d actually want you to wear platform shoes. Yes, you’d have serious stage presence, by design.
P.P.S. No, we are not Buddhist. Think recovering Catholic. But we would convert for you.
P.P.P.S. Would you be OK with adding a “P” to your first name and wearing a large cat costume? It’s all part of the overall showmanship effort.
P.P.P.P.S. We are not that strong, physically speaking, so could you just not kick our ass 24/7? I mean we could probably own you in Backgammon, but I digress.
P.P.P.P.P.S. When can you start? Do you need a ride? Yes, we have a place to crash.
And a pool.
And a pond.
Pond’s good for you.
Oh, and P.P.P.P.P.P.S We’re Democrats. Does that sweeten the pot?
