"The Look" by Prince (Performed by Santiago)
Since it's been so quiet around here... I hope you all don't mind if I hold the stage a bit longer?
I motion for Anna to come up on stage with me as you hear synths pick up an eerie tune before the drums and guitars kick in.
I hand Anna the mic and whisper the song in her ear. She smiles and I put the fedora back on, stand behind her, my legs spread, my hips forward. My head is looking down, one arm is across my chest, the other appears to be holding the hat in place. Anna begins the song whispering into the mic.
Here we are folks
The dream we all dream of
Boy versus girl
In the world series of love
So tell me have you got the look?
I pick my head up and walk over next to Anna, turning and looking at her. My hand going over hers on the mic.
You walked in
I woke up
I never seen a pretty girl look so tough
Baby, you've got that look
I run my hand over her cheek.
I color you peach and black
I turn my hips and face away, my hand to my chest.
Color me taking aback
Crucial, I think I want ya
I do a somersault off the end of the stage, landing on the floor as Anna sings.
You've got the look
You've got me hooked
Shor-nuff do be cooking
In my book
I turn back around and look at Anna, cocking my hips just right.
Your face is jammin'
Your bodys hecck-a-slammin I thrust my hips forward twice, a sneer on my face.
If love is good
Lets get to rammin
I thrust my hips forward and and wink at her as we both sing.
You've got the look
You've got the look
I flick the edge of my fedora, knocking it slightly sideways on my head as I point at Anna.
You've got the look
You hear Laurent and Nicolas from the side of the stage.
You've got the look
You must of took
You hear Laurent and Nicolas from the side of the stage.
You must of took
A whole hour just to make up your face, baby
The lighting on the stage fades and it's just a faded yellow now illuminating behind Anna. I tilt my head and the edge of my mouth lifts into a smile.
Closing time ugly lights, everybody's expected
(whoo) But you are a natural beauty unaffected
The lights quickly change to red and I put my hand to my mouth, a look of shock on my face.
Did I say that out loud? My face is red, I stand corrected
I stand corrected.
Anna sings again, as Nicolas and Laurent set chairs on the back edge of the stage and offer her whispered backup. I bend my knees and fall over backwards onto the floor.
You've got the look
Shor-nuff do be cooking
In my book
Your face is jammin'
I arch my back my arms laying out beside me then lay back down flat.
Your bodys hecck-a-slammin
This love is good
Lets get to rammin
Tucking my feet under, I use just my bent legs to stand back up, whipping my head forward before turning and looking at Anna.
You've got the look
You've got the look
I walk back to the stage, jumping back up on it and walking behind Anna as we alternate the words.
Well
here
we
are
My voice suddenly is changed to an electronic sound thanks to the mic.
Ladies and gentlemen
The dream we all dream of
Anna rolls her eyes and motions with her hand.
OH PLEASE
I look at her and smirk at her, my voice comes back to normal
Boy no versus girl in the world series of love
A bammin!
I put my hands on her waist and look at her over her shoulder as we alternate again.
You walked in
I walked in
I woke up
You woke up
I never seen such a pretty girl look so tough
Baby
Baby
You've got that look
I color you peach and black
Color me takin aback
BABY
Crucial! I think I want ya! I put my fedora on her head and lean my head forward, my lips brushing against her neck.
Anna takes my hand and pulls me around in front of her. Her eyes scan over my body.
You've got the look
You've got me hooked
Shor-nuff do be cooking
In my book
I run my hands down her arms and then around her waist, pulling her closer to me..
Your face is jammin'
Your bodys hecck-a-slammin I pucker up my lips and kiss the air as I waggle my eyebrows at her.
This love is good
Lets get to rammin
I turn and grin at the audience before I move to the side and pick her up.
You've got the look
You've got the look
I put Anna down and she walks over and picks up the spare electric guitar and pulls out some amazing riffs.
Here we are folks, the dream we all dream of.
Anna continues to play the guitar as she sings.
You've got the look
You've got the look
You've got the look
You've got the look
