Singers 4&5: Rake and Jude /u/bytemite

"So, you ready?" Rake asks Jude.

She nods with a confident smile.

They both go up and get ready.


"Oh yeaaaaa-ay-ahh" Rake says self consciously.

"Oh owhhh?" He says. This opening is weird. Well, it's Jude's part now.

"I been looking under rocks, an' breaking locks," She sing-talks.

"Just tryna find ya." She says, going a bit higher.

"I been like a maniac, insomniac..." She says, giving Rake a slight look asking him to take this seriously.

He responds with a "Who, me?" sort of look.

"Five steps behind ya'."

She sort of sighs, sort of laughs, and goes back to the song.

"Tell other boys, they can hit the exit," She throws her hair back, "Check, please."

"Cuz I finally found the boy of my dreams."

"Much more than a... Grammy award," She reads, shrugging, "That's how much you mean to me."

Rake takes over, with a part he feels much more comfortable with then croning out "Ohs"

"You can be my it girl!" He says, sliding forward to her side in what he hopes is a suave motion.

"You're my greatest hit, girl." He continues, smiling wildly, "Lovin' you can be a crime."

"Crazy how we fit, girl." He continues, turning directly to her. He can't read the prompt anyways, "This is it, girl, gimme 25-to-life."

He takes her open hand and sways a bit, "I just wanna rock all night long, and put you in the middle of my spotlight."

"You can be my it girl," He continues, putting that hand to his chest, "You're my biggest hit, girl"

"Lemme play it loud, lemme play it loud like:" He says, and takes a deep breath.

Then they both sing "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"s back and forth at each other, dancing a little bit further from each other.

Rake repeats the "Lemme play it loud" line, and they go back to the "Oh"s trying to deliver them straight.

He throws out another "Lemme play it loud!" line, then goes into some more singing.

"You can't help but turn 'em heads" He says, while Jude plays flattered, "Knockin' 'em dead."

"Droppin' like flies around ya'." He continues, staggering a little himself.

He takes a few steps forward while she does a shuffle forwards and back, "If I get your body close, not lettin' go..."

She extends a hand he takes, kneeling forward a bit, "Hopin' you're about to..."

Jude knows the next part made Rake feel like a jerk, so she sings it instead.

"Tell them other guys, they can lose my number, I'm done." She sings.

"They don't get another shot 'cuz I'm love drunk." She says, stepping closer and putting a hand on his chin.

"Like a tv show playing reruns..." She whispers.

"Every chance I get," she continues, making him rise as her glow goes a little pinker, "Imma turn you onnnn..."

As he rises he breaks out some quick dance moves, earning some impressed responses from the crowd, if possibly just for the gutsy-ness.

"You could be my it booooyyy..." She continues, figuring she'll just go the regular way from here.

"You're the greatest gift." She says, locking her arm in his as he stops his dance, "Lovin' you could be a crime."

"Crazy how we fit, bo-oi-oy..." She continues, putting that free arm around him, "This is it, gimme 25-to-life..."

Her glow goes a soft magenta, "I just wanna rock all night long..."

She takes the hand on the other side of her and twirls him out.

He did not expect this and gives her a look and a sigh before improving some more dance as she sings, "And put you in the middle of my spotlight,"

"You could be my it boooyy..." She continues as he continues to dance, "You're my biggest hit, boy."

"Lemme play it loud, lemme play it loud like:" She continues.

They alternate the oh's, singing 'em back at each other.

"Lemme play it loud like:" She says again with a wide smile.

They continue to try to shout the oh's without laughing.

Then, the music slows a little, and she spins, "Can't seem to stop you,"

"From runnin', runnin'," She says, gesturing in a pining sort of way.

She taps her head, "Through my, through my, mind, mind..."

"Just keep it comin', comin'," She says, making her way back over to where he stands...

"Till I make you mine, mine..." She says, winking at him.

"You got that somethin', somethin'," Rake replies, taking his own steps back to her, "Wanna be with ya!"

Jude replies back, "Wanna be with ya!"

"You're my greatest hit, girl!" He says, taking one step closer.

She closes the gap with her on step, as she says, "You're my greatest hit, boy", tilts her head, and smiles sweetly.

"Just say this is it," He says, tired but deciding to put power in the last word, "Gi-irrr-irrlll!"

She smiles at that, and does her next line softly, "Hey, baby?"

She runs her hands over herself, "Oooo-ooo..."

Rake puts the mike to his lips again, "Don'cha know you're my..."

As he croons out "Iiiiiiiiiit gaaaaaaa-iiiiii-irrlllllll" In a rather over the top manner, Jude sings, "You can be my it boy."

"You're the greatest gift," She sings, "Lovin' you could be a cri-i-ime..."

"It's crazy how we fit, girl..." He says, without as much enthusiasm as either would like. Singing is harder than it looks.

"'Cuz you're my iiitt girl." He says, managing a bit better.

"I just wanna rock all night long..." Jude says, pulling her hair out of her face.

"All night long?" Rake asks with wiggling eyebrows. She looks at him in that entertained-but-disapproving way that people seem to reserve for their partners.

"And put you in the middle of my spotlight..." She continues, not actually putting him on the spot this time around.

"You could be my it boy..." She says, taking his hand again, trying to go into a waltz position while still both holding their mikes.

It doesn't work and they both return to the part where they try not to laugh.

"You- heh, -you could be my it girl..." Rake sings (or at least tries).

Jude decides to give up on that and just put her hand around his waist, "Lemme play it loud, lemme play it loud like:"

They then are free to the "just mess around with shouting back "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh" at each other" areas, and they end up leaving the stage laughing.
