South Pacific Idol

Randy: Yo, dog, that was kind of pitchy to me.
Paula: You swim real nice, that was entertaining.
Simon: You call that a mating song? It sounded more like you were being attacked by sharks. It's a "no" from me. Randy, yes or no?
Randy: Naw, it isn't good enough.
Paula: I'm sorry, it's a "no". You do have lovely fins, though.
