Oh, Bruno Mars would be amazing to 53 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 3: get involved with this. But is it a bit basic? 54 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 3: Is it really cheesy this song? Is Bruno Mars going 55 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 3: to like it? 56 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 5: People were like, no, he's not gonna like it. It's 57 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 5: just like two unseerious, don't send it.

So I think 63 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 5: without him, I don't know if I would have believed 64 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 5: in this as much as I could, because he just 65 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 5: kind of understood it. He took it, and then he 66 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 5: just knew what to do with it. 67 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 3: And I think with the thing with Bruno Mars, we 68 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 3: don't realize how talented this guy is. Like he could 69 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: do a full album, whip on the guitar, on the rhymes. 70 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 3: The bloke knows every instrument, and we know how good 71 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 3: a dancer he is. I mean he was a childhood performer, 72 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 3: that's right. With his dad like that. He's been performing 73 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 3: since he was five six years of age. So the 74 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: guy comes in, Bruno Mars comes in, here's the song. 75 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 3: He thinks there's something there, and then he just adds 76 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 3: his flavor and then. 77 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 5: He gets the guitar and then creating this really like 78 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 5: this rock like feel to it, and it's like he 79 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 5: puts that Bruno flavor in it. He picks up the 80 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 5: time and then he gets like he gets on the 81 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 5: drums and then adds all this to it and they 82 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 5: remember the outro starts adding these sounds and it's just 83 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 5: like euphloric.
