about
I actually called in a second time while Allegra was playing a song so as not to take up anymore time with my silliness-- but I requested the Good & Evil Tour Sampler. She didn't have it, thankfully, for your ears. But man, I want it. I'll do it to you guys. Some day.
lyrics
Allegra: Hel-LO, and welcome back to the Tally Hall Power Hour--we just heard Variations on a Cloud... from... ミラクルミュージカル's Hawaii: Part II album which came out in 2012. If everything is working right now, we should be able to hear a phone call coming through-- Skye, are you there?
Skye: *unhearable*
Allegra: AAH, hold on, the phone's not working. Un momento, por favor.
*farther away* Let's see if I can get this going.
Skye: *laughing, unhearably*
Allegra: Hello?
Skye: *still almost unhearably* Guys, where's Colonel Popcorn?!
Allegra: AAH, one second.
*farther away* This'll, yeah... let's see.
Skye: *still almost unhearably* Ahh, two hours of finagling with technology~
Allegra: All right, uhh... you comin' through?
*phone lag*
Skye: I don't know, am I?
Allegra: All right, I think you're coming through!
Skye: FanTAStic!
Allegra: All right, hey, I'm--
Skye: Okay, so I guess this is pretty well-timed since we were just listening to the album, uh, Hawaii: Part II, and, uh... a lot of, uh-- THINGS have come to light since then, and I-- I recently found out about this, uh, HIDDEN, uh, set of pictures--
Allegra: Uh huh?
Skye: -- of a Starbucks in...
Allegra: Uh huh?
Skye: Honolulu, which is actually where I live.
Allegra: Yeah!
Skye: Um, I--I have never gone there before?
Allegra: Uh huh?
Skye: Um, I--I don't know, uh, Joe--JOE has a way of... uh, thinking things through very deliberately.
Allegra: RIGHT.
Skye: So I FEEL like somebody needs to go there, whether or not there's anything there.
Allegra: Right, I know--I KNOW what the...
Skye: I would like to ask people... um--
Allegra: Wait, I, wait--
Skye: -- what they would like me to do... at the Starbucks.
Allegra: *laughing* Wait, okay, here's the thing. I know that in the, uh, Hawaii: Part II emails... that get sent out sometimes-- at the very bottom of the, uh, e-mail listing, like, the MailChimp thing? Like, they make you put an address when you sign up for these e-mail services. At the very bottom, there's an address, and that goes right to the Starbucks, which I think is the same one you're talking about. I would say DEFINITELY--
Skye: Yes.
Allegra: -- go there. That would be-- I don't even know what you would DO there...? Uh... *soft laugh* ... what do you THINK you should do there?
Skye: Well, I was-- I was first thinking that I should probably order something under the name "Stella Octangula", um.
Allegra: Ste-- *laughing* Do you think all the baristas--
Skye: I, I--
Allegra: -- are--are well-versed in--in Hawaii: Part II lore? Just a virtue of working there?
Skye: I, I, I--all I know is that I need to bring the pictures there, and I need to say... you know, that... *laugh*
Allegra: *same laugh*
Skye: Eh, something obscure is going on in your Starbucks, you probably don't even know about it, but-but--
Allegra: Yeah. Yea-ea-eah, so-so-some aboriginal MEMES are occurring.
Skye: Part of me wants to dress up like... like, I'm gonna wear a red tie there and people are gonna stare at me and, like... motion me to the back room or something?
Allegra: Uh huh, yeah! Ah--it'll be like some, maybe just... an induction into some... some strange alternate universe. Um, well, I would say...
Skye: HAUH!
Allegra: You should DO that, and you should also, uh, give a-- actually, later in the show, I'm gonna play your cover that you submitted for the...
Skye: *genuinely shocked* Oh, gee!?
Allegra: ... Tally Hall Anniversary project. I'm really excited, I'm gonna be playing some of the cover. Uh, so stay tuned for that. But, um... *smacks lips* Do you have a song that you want me to play, uh, Tally Hall-wise?
Skye: *laughing, still trying to process the song's going to be played* Um, um, I, I don't really mind one way or another, uh-- you have the best picks in the world, and uh--
Allegra: Oh, thank you so much!
Skye: -- speaking of our covers, I was just talking with Zoë the other day.
Allegra: Uh huh?
Skye: Um, she found something REALLY interesting on the website recently, too, the Hawaii: Part II website. Uh...
Allegra: Oh! What'd she find?
Skye: There's, like, this VERY tiny sub-section on the main page... that... sends you to a search result on Google Maps that only reads, ",". Just...
Allegra: Huh!
Skye: ",".
Allegra: Yeah, I really... I really can't... *voice crackles*... even begin to fathom, uh, what's going on there. But, who knows, I may have the opportunity to ASK soon. But right now--
Skye: *cracks up*
Allegra: Thank you so much, Skye, for calling in. This has been a wonderful conversation, even though I couldn't quite get the phone working. I actually have a microphone up the phone speakerphone right now, if you are curious.
Skye: *Joe alert noise*
Allegra: HuhHA. Um, so right now, I'm gonna spin a request that I got on Tumblr. Uh, this is... Country Good--
Skye: Mm!
Allegra: -- a song written by Rob Cantor for a Cracker Barrel commercial, featuring Tommy Siegel of Jukebox the Ghost on banjo. Enjoy.
Skye: ... Ah~ *cut off*
*later on*
Allegra: Uh, I'm getting too far into this, I'm gonna play another song right now. This is a very special song, I am bringing out the EXCLUSIVES here. What you're about to hear... is a cover... that has not really been heard by many people before-- this is a cover that's gonna be featured... on the Tally Hall Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum 10th Anniversary compilation that I've been putting together for the last few months. This is a cover of Taken for a Ride... by Skye, who called in earlier in the program, if you were... listening. Uh, and it... I-- it... when I listened to it for the first time, it--it blew my mind. It was amazing, and I cannot wait... for you guys to hear it. This is... Taken for a Ride, by Skye, aka HomeStarRunnerTron.
*later on*
Allegra: And you just heard... possibly one of the favorite tracks-- my favorite tracks that I've heard... this year. That was a cover of Tally Hall's Taken for a Ride by Skye, aka HomeStarRunnerTron on YouTube. What a fantastic cover, and thAT JUST GIVES YOU AN IDEA... OOOOOOO--
