Two performers improvise a live piece blending spoken banter and singing, riffing on Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Another Hero" with references to Thunderdome and a character named Ike. They weave in themes of compassion and fear, punctuated with enthusiastic exclamations and a casual thank-you to the audience.
Is it videotaping? Yes. I figured.
Maybe we should take it slow, take it slow. Oh, whoa, this time we'll take it slow, take it slow, slow. Oh, maybe this time we'll take it slow.
Because we're going beyond Thunderdome right now.
Let me be Ike. I'm Ike. I'm Ike. Oh, you'll be Ike? Yeah. Oh, yes. Oh, never. Yeah. We had it out after the show. During the good times. During the good times.
Before all the blow and the gym coaches. I always have to get like real mystical with my arms every time this song comes on.
Yeah! Woo!
And get my Tina legs going.
Out of the ruins, out from the wreckage. Can't make the same mistake this time. Ooh, love and compassion. And that day is coming. Well, there's a sock cap built in the air. And I wonder if we are never gonna change. Living at the edge of fear till nothing else remains. We don't need another hero. We don't need another weapon. All we want is not another victim. I like you. I can't imagine if I lost you, would I cry? Oh, how I love you, Savior, Savior, Savior, Savior. Thank you guys for letting me speak to you.
