"See, their song goes 'ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding/ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding', and mine goes 'ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding/DING-ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding'. It's totally different."

Are they working alone, or do you envision groups who can stop, collaborate, and listen?

I don’t recognize him either, but from the references in the other comments I’m assuming it’s vanilla ice

I've self diagnosed with face blindness, but I tentatively recognized his hair lift.
