| I was just remembering
|
| The muffin story
|
| Not all our stories
|
| Are muffin stories
|
| Most of them, but not all of them
|
| I know what you’re thinking
|
| You’re thinking these guys
|
| They just bloody travel
|
| Around the country
|
| Eating muffins
|
| Living the life, and um…
|
| But we’ve had darker times
|
| And we want to share
|
| One of those with you tonight
|
| We were on our way to a gig, and we
|
| Found ourselves trapped in a lift
|
| Yeah. |
| It’s not a long story
|
| But, um…
|
| It’s claustrophobic in there
|
| And we-- we panicked to be honest
|
| It was very intense for the band
|
| Yeah, for sure
|
| We’re not too proud to say that
|
| Uh, we freaked out
|
| Shit got very real. |
| Uh…
|
| And by that, he means
|
| That one of the band did a shit
|
| In the, um…
|
| In the elevator
|
| It was-- it was not
|
| Comfortable at that point
|
| And it was very early in
|
| Very early in
|
| Yeah
|
| And, um…
|
| Well, we were in there
|
| For a few hours
|
| And we eventually discovered
|
| The emergency button
|
| That contacts a… I don’t know
|
| Who that person is exactly
|
| We didn’t know because we were
|
| So freaked out and panicked
|
| We didn’t even ask her
|
| About herself
|
| Usually, I’d say, «Hi, I’m Jemaine
|
| Who are you?
|
| «And, you know, what you up to?
|
| What are your interests?"
|
| But we were freaking out
|
| We were like, «We're trapped in
|
| The lift. |
| There’s a poo in here.»
|
| And she said, «Don't worry
|
| Calm down. |
| Take a deep breath.»
|
| -We said, «That's not great 'cause…
|
| -No, no. |
| We’re not gonna
|
| -But, um…
|
| -That's not gonna help the situation
|
| No, she said, «Where you trying
|
| To get to?"And we explained
|
| And she said, «Okay, well, try
|
| Pressing the number, the button three
|
| That corresponds to the floor
|
| You’re trying to get to."
|
| And so we did that, and, uh, in
|
| Hindsight, it was obvious, you know
|
| But at the time, uh, you know
|
| I thought Jemaine
|
| Had pressed the button
|
| -Jemaine thought I pressed it
|
| -I thought Bret had pressed it
|
| 'Cause I pressed it the
|
| Previous time, so I thought
|
| «Oh, well, Bret probably took a note
|
| Of that. |
| He’ll do it next time.»
|
| It was more of
|
| A communication breakdown
|
| Than an actual elevator breakdown
|
| But sometimes they can lead to
|
| The most traumatic experiences
|
| And that’s the case in this particular
|
| Story, which we hope you learn from
|
| -It's a cautionary tale
|
| -Mm
|
| Okay
|
| -Okay, another song then
|
| -Yeah, we’ll do another song
|
| Nigel, the Symphony Orchestra
|
| Is switching to bass guitar
|
| And Bret, he’s got
|
| The glockenspiels, some bongos
|
| There’s a pineapple
|
| That’s a real pineapple
|
| So that’s talent
|
| That shows you musicianship there
|
| It’s a real gift
|
| Let’s, uh, have the beat |
