"Hello and welcome back! I'm your charming host Greg Stevens, and this is MusicWatch, your source for up-to-the-minute reviews on the day's top Rock music. The band? The Flobots. The song? Handlebars. In the studio with me today is the legendary band Cake, who some of you may remember had a hit about a Nascar race or something a few years ago. How are you today, Cake?"

Cake: "Actually we've had a number of successful singles over the years, Greg."

Stevens: "Isn't that fun. Now, what are your thoughts on the song we're reviewing today?"

Cake: "Well, Greg, we noticed something. The whole sound is so... familiar, don't you think? Almost like something we've written and recorded."

Stevens: "It does sound like something I remember hearing a few years ago, but I'm afraid I can't place it. Did you like the song?"

Cake: "Greg, IT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE OUR MUSIC. Do you even know who you're going to have on the show before they show up?"

Stevens: "Believe it or not, I do. Please join me in welcoming... The Flobots!"

{Studio music plays, additional voices in background}

Stevens: "Just plug the mike in there... Okay. Welcome to the show!"

Flobots: "Thanks for having us today Greg, it's great to be here. And Cake! It's an honor, guys."

Cake: "..."

Stevens: "Cake? Don't you want to say hi to the nice band?"

Cake: "..."

Flobots: "It's okay, Greg. They, uh... They think we stole their sound."

Stevens: "THAT'S what it is! Cake, you do sound a lot like the Flobots, don't you?"

Cake: "NO! THEY sound like US, and no one seems to be concerned about that!"

Stevens: "I'm not sure I follow."

Cake: (sighs) "Greg, have you listened to the song? The singer kind of raps instead of singing, the drums sound just like us, they even have a trumpet player! At least we have one thing going for us. Their lyrics are just plain stupid."

Flobots: "Stupid?!"

Cake: "Yes, stupid. First, you really only need to say things once. Second, why do we care if you need a metronome if you're going to hit me with a missile by using a satellite?"

Flobots: "Four words. Short. Skirt. Long. Jacket."
