00:28Of course.

00:30Let's go.

00:41These are your fans.

00:46I need to join you, Ken, with my hat.

00:51Okay.

00:53I've got to get it the right way on.

00:56This is a Stetson, right?

00:57Yes.

00:58Yes, it is.

01:00Ken, do you have a favorite song of mine?

01:03The one I remember most is, because it was an award-winning video,

01:07is Don't Be Stupid, because of the Irish dancing in the water trough.

01:13That's right.

01:14Can you dance like that?

01:16No, no, no.

01:20What about singing? Do you like to sing?

01:22No, dear, I don't sing either.

01:24He's not going to sing or dance.

01:51So, I mean, come on, this is fabulous.

01:54How did you get here? Did you take a bike?

01:59It's a bus, dear.

02:00Oh, it's a bus. Good. I love that.

02:04Okay, I want to sing something for you, but I already did Up.

02:08Do you have a different song that you love?

02:11Apart from that one?

02:12Yeah.

02:13Well, you've done most of them already.
