Joshy : It's out next week. And you're going to LOVE IT! James : Am I allowed to say 'don't buy our single'? Katie : Aww James, you are such a man! James : You finally noticed, after being married for me for two years. Well done. Mikki : And a right sarky git too. Let's talk about the single.
Katie : Guess whose idea it was. It's too obvious. Anyway, he pitched it to me, and I wasn't sure what to think, but I liked the idea - it was quirky and unusual, just like Firecracker 47. I pitched it to Jimmy, and he was like, "Roxy's voice isn't right for this." Roxy : I laughed a lot at the fact that Jimmy said 'Roxy' and not 'James'. HA HA. Jimmy : What? It's true. James has a good range. You need practice. Bri : They were sort of split down the middle. Joshy, Mikki and Katie were for it, Roxy, James and Jimmy were against. So it was all down to me. I wasn't sure, considering Joshy's health, but I thought, there's not going to be any dancing or music videos, what harm can a bit of singing do? Joshy : I LOVE HER. SO MUCH. Bri : Calm down, dear. And so, W.T.F. - name courtesy of Roxana Katraba Firecracker - was born! Mikki : That stands for Wannabe, Two Become One, Fire Up Your Life! Roxy : It also stands for 'What The Fuck'.
Jimmy : So, we cast everyone. Roxy was immediately cast as Posh, because she sings the least. Roxy : I'm not complaining, but Mikki should be Posh, really! Jimmy : Definitely, but vocally, she fits Ginger better. Mikki : She's using her alternate name of Sexy Spice for this! Katie : So, Roxy as Posh, Mikki as Ginger, Bri as Baby, Joshy as Sporty .... Joshy : That's so uncliché! I'm on crutches so I can hardly be sporty, and Bri's not the baby, she's the oldest! Mikki : How old are you, Bri? Bri : Ageless. Anyway, the only 'cliché' was casting the black one as the black one, because James can rap for the 'Wannabe' bridge. James : I sped it up for the body mods in the song. Best bit, apart from Mikki almost walking out on the '2 Become 1' chorus because Roxy came on to her. Roxy : What? It's like, you're out of it because you do the 'set your spirit free' bit, obviously Brioche are singing to each other, so that means that we must be lesbians! And I was trying to get into character. I don't actually fancy you, Mikki. Mikki : Well that's good to know! You weren't acting like it! Bri : The guys were laughing themselves silly. Jimmy was like, "The song's about condoms, not dental dams!", and Joshy fell off his chair. So Katie said to me, "Bri, get the bananas." I didn't understand it, at first, but I went out and bought some bananas, and Katie gave each guy a banana, and they stopped. Katie : Technique I learnt from the cover of the James album 'Laid'. You know why the guys are all eating bananas on that album cover? Because they wouldn't stop laughing, so the production guys went out to get them some gum, and got them bananas instead. And it worked. It's failproof.
Mikki : Sooo, the recording was kind of dumb .... Roxy : Ah, you know you loved it, baby! Mikki : BUT. The single turned out really well. So go buy it! Joshy : Out November 5th! Firecracker night! James : NO! DON'T! Mikki : That's band loyalty for you. Everyone should buy it, if just to take the piss out of James. Katie : Actually, his vocals were pretty good. Not feminine, he doesn't do girly, but still, he was the best I'd say, apart from Joshy. Roxy : Way better than me! That's kinda weird, the two guys were the best. Joshy : C'mon, give us a demo! James : Nooo .... Joshy : I won't shut up until you do!
James : *sings* So, here's the story from A to Z, you wanna get with me, you gotta listen carefully, we got Bri in the place, can't tap that pretty face, we got me and Joshy who like it on an .... Mikki : *sings* Easy I may be, but I don't come for free, I'm a real lady! James : *sings* As for Roxy? Girls, you'll see! Slam your body down and wind it all around. Roxy : Ha ha, love the subtle mod there. James : I aim to please. Anyway, how about a demo from you, Rox? If I can, you can! Roxy : *sings* Any deal that we endeavour, boys and girls feel good together, take it or leave it, take it or leave it .... Bri : *sings* Are you as good as I remember, baby, get it on, get it on, because tonight is the night when two become one. Joshy : Beautiful, Bri! Only one left to go, and how about we .... FIRE UP YOUR LIFE! Bri/James/Joshy/Mikki/Roxy : *sing* Slam it to the left! Joshy : *sings* If you're having a good time! Bri/James/Joshy/Mikki/Roxy : *sing* Shake it to the right! Joshy : *sings* If you know that you feel fine! Bri/James/Joshy/Mikki/Roxy : *sing* Locos to the front! Joshy : *sings* Ha! Ha!
Jimmy : And if that's not enough reason to buy it, copies have been shipped out already, with some studio snapshots in the liner - including Roxy kissing Mikki! Roxy : Whoa! For real? James : *bursts out laughing* Brilliant! Joshy, Roxy, Jimmy and I will be outside a Brisbanian record store signing your copies! Katie : Bri, get the bananas! Bri : I'm on it! *leaves* Mikki : Jimmy Bishop, I'ma kill you, fucking slore! DON'T BUY IT! Joshy : *inbetween girly giggles* Firecracker 47 and Bri Kildare aka. Fiery Spice - 'W.T.F.'! Out November 5th 2010, independently released on Dark Blue Music, go by it! Hi, ci, ya, hold tight .... before I fall off my chair .... *falls over* ah balls.
