[INTRO – OLD FILM PROJECTOR, THUNDER, BIG BAND COUNT-IN] [MALE CROONER] Song six hundred sixty-six. [PAUSE] OoO... spooky. [BIG BAND HIT] Relax. It's a number. [VERSE 1 – SWING / GROOVE FUNK] Midnight studio, lights go low, Brass section asks where the drummer go. Bass starts walking by itself, Trumpet falls right off the shelf. Piano hits a minor nine, Nobody touched it— [PIANO STAB] Perfect timing. Theremin crying from Room B, Engineer says: [ENGINEER] That thing ain't plugged in. [MALE CROONER] ...neat. [FEMALE JAZZ VOCAL] OoO, spooky. [MALE] Please don't encourage it. [PRE-CHORUS – FUNK BUILD] One-two-three-four— something knocked back. Five-six— [LOUD KNOCK] Nope. We're not counting past that. [CHORUS – BIG BAND / FUNK] OoO SPOOKY! SONG SIX-SIX-SIX! HORNS GOT SHARP AND THE GROOVE GOT SICK! OoO SPOOKY! DON'T RUN YET! THE GHOST JUST ASKED IF THE BAND TAKES REQUESTS! OoO SPOOKY! LIGHTS WENT RED! BUT IF THE FUNK'S THIS GOOD— I'M STAYING TILL THE END! [BRASS BLAST] [VERSE 2 – FUNK RAP] Slap bass moving like it owes rent, Snare got attitude, cymbal got bent. Saxophone screaming: “LET ME COOK!” Something wrote “BOO” in the session book. Coffee cup floating— okay, that's strange. Kick drum shifted three feet out of range. Producer whispers: “We should probably leave.” I said: “After the bridge. This groove is obscene.” [FEMALE] Musically obscene. [MALE] Thank you for clarifying. [GOA TRANSITION – FILTER SWEEP] [AI-LIKE STUDIO VOICE] Unidentified rhythm detected. [MALE] Here we go. [GOA PSYTRANCE DROP] [MALE – RHYTHMIC] Acid line crawling round the floor. Kick goes four-four— open the door. Neon spirals. Tempo climbs. Now the haunted horn section is dancing in time. [GROUP] OoO! OoO! OoO! SPOOKY! [JAZZ BREAK – UPRIGHT BASS / VIBRAPHONE] [FEMALE JAZZ VOCAL] Maybe it's ghosts. Maybe it's wires. Maybe the keyboard player's been awake for five nights. [MALE CROONER] Most likely option three. [SAX SOLO] [MALE] That sax player's been dead since Tuesday. [FEMALE] He still swings. [MALE] Fair. [METALCORE IMPACT] [SCREAMED MALE] WHO TURNED THE LIGHTS OUT?! [BREAKDOWN] [BAND] OoO! SPOOKY! [SCREAMED MALE] WHO MOVED THE AMPS?! [BAND] OoO! SPOOKY! [SCREAMED MALE] WHO BOOKED A CHOIR AT THREE A.M.?! [DISTANT CHOIR] Not us. [MALE] THAT'S WORSE! [HALF-TIME CHUG] [VERSE 3 – METAL RAP] No pentagram. No ritual. No chanting backward. Just thirty musicians making poor decisions after hours. Number on the track says six-six-six. Internet sees that— now everybody panics. Brother, breathe. We made a song. The only thing possessed here is the drummer by the groove. [DRUM FILL] [DRUMMER] Correct. [FINAL BUILD – ORCHESTRA + GOA + HORNS] [MALE CROONER] Bring in the brass! [BIG BAND HIT] Bring in the funk! [SLAP BASS] Bring in Goa! [ACID SYNTH RISE] Bring in the guitars! [METALCORE CHUG] And somebody please unplug the haunted theremin. [THEREMIN SCREAM] [MALE] Too late. [FINAL CHORUS – EVERYTHING COLLIDES] OoO SPOOKY! SONG SIX-SIX-SIX! BIG BAND SWING WITH A METALCORE KICK! OoO SPOOKY! GOA IN THE HALL! JAZZ GHOST PLAYING LIKE HE OWNS THE CALL! OoO SPOOKY! FUNK TOO DEEP! IF THE STUDIO'S HAUNTED— THE RENT'S STILL CHEAP! HORNS! [BRASS] BASS! [SLAP] SYNTH! [GOA] RIFF! [METALCORE] EVERYBODY HIT— OoO! SPOOKY! [FINAL BREAKDOWN] [GROUP] SIX! [BRASS HIT] SIX! [GUITAR HIT] SIX! [SILENCE] [MALE CROONER] ...still just track number six hundred sixty-six. [LONG PAUSE] [GHOST VOICE] Play it again. [MALE] Absolutely not. [OUTRO – SURF GUITAR, ORGAN, PROJECTOR SLOWDOWN] [FEMALE] OoO... [MALE] Don't. [FEMALE] Spooky. [BIG BAND FINAL HIT]
