[Sound: EVERYTHING AT ONCE — tap shoes plus 808s plus claps plus trap snares plus synth plus funk bass plus eurodance. Full DDR maximum. 145 BPM.] [All voices together — different words, same rhythm] The bee's knees! Groovy! Whatever, it's rad! That's fire, no cap! Deadass, it's bussin! It's giving legendary! [ONE breath silence — SLAMS back] [Chorus — all voices] Same heartbeat, different pulse Same words in different mouths Same feeling, different sound Same heartbeat, different pulse We were all young once We all felt the bass We all danced in our own way Same heartbeat, different pulse [Bridge — female solo, soul, over full beat] My mama tapped, her mama snapped I clapped on two and four His mama bumped, his mama crunked And mine just wanted more The corner changed, the club changed The machine changed the game But the thing that makes you close your eyes And feel it in your chest? That ain't never changed. [Final build — every sound climbing together] [All, shouting, joyful] SAME HEARTBEAT! DIFFERENT PULSE! SAME HEARTBEAT! DIFFERENT PULSE! SAME HEARTBEAT! DIFFERENT PULSE! [Beat drops out completely. Silence.] [One sound: a single tap shoe on the floor.] [Spoken, older female, quiet, warm] Now you're cooking with gas. [End].
