Sam:
I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying: "Is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an IV, baby, could I bear?
Being away from you, I've found the vein, put it in here

Live for the applause-plause
Ryder:
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
(Sam: I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch
(Blaine and Sam: Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(Sam: I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch
(Blaine: Make it real loud)

I've overheard your theory: "Nostalgia’s for geeks!"
Ryder:

One second I’m a Koons, then suddenly the Koons is me
Pop culture was in art, now art’s in pop culture, in me
