Magic Guitar Prank Patrol Down Under

'Today, Spencer joins the Prank Patrol.

'His mission, to play a mean guitar and become a rock 'n' roll hero.

'But this guitar seems to be magic, because only Spencer can play,

'and when his friend Joel plays it, he'll really wish he hadn't.'

-# Here we go!

-# Here they come, they're on a roll

# Where there'll strike nobody knows

# If you have a point to prove

# They'll make a plan and see it through

# They'll sign you up to join their crew

# Scotty and the Ninjas, too

# Here we go, come on join the Prank Patrol

# Here we go!

TYRES SCREECH BOTH: Whoo!

Sorry, guys. Aero-dynamic suit, quick in the air,

great bike rider, body like mine, whoo! Hang on a minute.

-Are you Spence?

-Yeah.

-Did you apply for Prank Patrol's help?

-Yep.

Well, you're the newest member of Prank Patrol.

You'll need your pass to prank. You'll also need this bad boy!

That's your prank jacket. Dad, is it sweet if we go pranking?

-Absolutely.

-Now, guess what, Spence? I've got a spare seat, jump on.

-Yes!

-We'll be pranking soon!

-What about the bikes?

Not my problem, Dad. We're going pranking. See you later. Whoo!

See you. Have a great day.

'This is Spencer. He'll dive into anything,

'Karate, cooking, computer games, and now pranking.

'He's a guy whose mind moves at a million miles an hour

'and is always up for an adventure.'

Hi, I'm Spencer and I need Prank Patrol's help

cos I want to prank my friend Joel who's always pranking me.

I really want to see his face and get him back.

THEY GIGGLE

'The target of Spencer's prank is his best mate Joel.

'When Joel's not gaming, his mates are in the firing line

'cos he thinks he's the practical joker of the gang.'

All right, Spence, here's our prank van. Check it out.

Awesome!

Spence, welcome to the prank van and the team. Who are we pranking?

-My mate Joel.

-Fantastic. So why do you want to prank him?

He's always pranking me and it'd be good to get him back.

So he's pranked you. Have you ever got him?

-No, never.

-It's going to be a big one with Prank Patrol.

-Yeah.

All right. We need to plan how we're going to prank Joel.

-Let's look for some ideas and get the perfect prank.

-Sounds awesome.

Oh, this is just my Ninja mail.

Scotty can't even play blow-up guitar?

That's such a lie because I can play the air guitar, the blow-up guitar,

the 12-string, nylon, steel string, even a mini violin.

I can play any sort of guitar.

-Chill, man!

-I just wish someone would secretly film me to prove it

-but that's not going to happen so do you want check out the prank?

-Yep.

-So they did secretly film me!

-HE MAKES TUNELESS NOISES

-See? I'm not bad.

-BOTH LAUGH

-I'm not too bad at it, am I?

-Yeah...

CRASHING

Look, seeing as you're so impressed with how I play the guitar then,

-I've got the perfect prank for you. Want to check it out?

-Awesome.

OK. So this is the one. It's called Magic Guitar.

We're going to send you and Joel to a guitar shop, all right?

-All right.

-When you're there, the owner will discover

you have perfect guitar hands. They're made for playing guitar.

So he's going to let you play a very special guitar.

Now, this instrument is magic,

so it's particular about who can play it and who can't.

But you, my friend, are going to rock it!

Now, you'll be so natural on this guitar

that you're going to be invited on tour with a rock star.

-Awesome!

-Sound cool?

-Yeah.

-Guess what happens when Joel plays the guitar.

-Things blow up?

-Yes.

So along with the explosions, all the electrics will short out.

-How does that sound?

-Love it!

-How much do you love it?

ROCK GUITAR

-Yeah!

-CRASHING

Sit down, Spencer, sit down.

Er, we can't actually trash the van

cos I haven't paid for all this stuff. Ninjas! Let's rock!

'To rock for real, we're going to have to ditch the air guitar

'for an "oh, yeah" guitar! So we're heading to Prank Patrol HQ

'to get Spencer sorted.'

Spence, my little rock 'n' roll renegade, this is your magic guitar.

-Whoa!

-Think of the biggest rock bands in history,

-I'm talking The Rolling Bones.

-Don't you mean The Rolling Stones?

-The Bugs.

-Beatles.

-Stick.

-Sting.

-Purple Floyd.

-Pink Floyd.

-King!

-Queen.

-Purple Floyd?

-You've already said that.

-U3?

-I'm not going to bother.

Think of all those bands, and this very guitar

has been used by every single none of them.

Well, it was made famous by my very own father's band,

Wally Tweedie and the Doo-Wop Brothers!

-ROCK GUITAR

-I've never heard of them.

-My dad.

It's funny how many people actually say that.

Anyway, rock 'n' roll is in my blood, Spence,

and I'm going to teach you how to rock!

ROCK GUITAR

'Someone you know taking too long in the bathroom in the morning?

'Teach them a lesson they won't soon forget.

'All you need is some shaving cream, a feather, and some running shoes.

'When your target is asleep, spray shaving cream on their hands,

'then, using a feather, give their nose a tickle.

'As they go to scratch their itch, they wake up to a creamy surprise.

'Don't forget to have your laces tied up tight

'as they'll sure be looking for revenge.

'Latest Prank Patrol member Spencer

'is out to rock the socks off his mate Joel with the magic guitar.

'He's got his hands on a smoking-hot guitar, all he needs now

'is to learn and record some killer sounds bound to astound.'

Ohh! Check this out, Spence! Plenty of axes in here.

This is where your prank's going down, what do you reckon?

I think it's awesome. It's going to be perfect.

Absolutely. Speaking of perfect, there is your magic guitar,

ready to be put in position in the prank.

-That's Bob, a special effects guru.

-Hi, Bob.

Spence, Bob. Bob, Spence. Now, little-known fact,

Bob and I invented this movement at a Bananarama concert.

-Little free knowledge for you, Spence.

-Awesome.

Bob's also organised an explosive end to the prank for you.

-Thanks, Bob!

-Cheers.

-No worries.

-Do you have any rock stars here at all?

-You after modern rock or classic rock?

-Modern rock.

-Nice.

Go through that door, you'll get hooked up.

-Thanks, man!

-Boys, if you have any questions,

-ask el capitano, yeah?

-Yeah, cheers.

-Sweet.

-Hey! Michael, how are you, mate?

-Hey, how you doing?

-Great to see you.

-You cool if I call you Mick?

-Not really, it's pretty uncool.

Great! Well, Mickety-moo-moo-mick, this is Spence.

Spence, this is my good mate, Mickle.

-Hi, Spence. How are you, buddy?

-Good.

-Spence is a rock star in the making

but we need a little help from a pro like you, Mickleback,

just a few tips here and there?

Sure. I reckon we can give you a crash course on how to rock.

-Yeah, awesome!

-Oh, yes! Rock and roll! Let's tear the house down!

ROCK GUITAR

-Hey, do you reckon we can do it without this guy?

-Yeah.

-OK.

What?

THEY PLAY GUITAR CHORDS Then up to the double dot.

-Perfect.

-'Even without the help of my rock 'n' roll skills,

'it doesn't take long for our prankster to be playing like a pro.'

# Ohh-ohh-ohh

# And learned to love the fall

# And learned to love the fall

Aw! You two, rock gods. Thank you very much.

I tell you what, Spence, you're looking set.

Mickey-moo-moo, thank you for teaching him a thing or two.

You know what? We need to lay some of that magic down in the studio.

Mick, see you later in the prank. Can you play us out? Come with me.

HE STRUMS CHORDS

'Now he's learnt the song, we need to soup up Spence's sound

'with the latest rock 'n' roll technology

'so his guitar really rocks when he mimes his part in the prank.'

-OK, Ant, we're good to go?

-Yeah, go for it.

-Fantastic.

Right, remember what I taught you. We're going to rock hard.

I'll count you in. Here we go. One, two, seven, 15, nine!

ROCK GUITAR

That's the way, Spence, probably just fret it a bit more,

just hammer on that tenth chord.

That's it, you're killing it!

Yeah, rocking out, that's it! Aw, man, look at you go!

I taught you that! I taught you that!

Spence, that was great, mate. You are going to kill it in the prank.

You are a rock god! Well done.

Spence, my man, talk about rocking out hardcore.

I tell you what, Joel is going to think you are a musical genius.

-I had heaps of fun doing that.

-You were awesome! We have spare time.

Would you like to hear some of my Scotty soft rock love songs?

Some pretty sweet tunes in here.

A little treat just for you.

# The sky is the limit

-Hey! Who turned the lights off? I'm singing a song!

-Ninjas.

Oh! Ninjas!

SCREAMING

SCREAMING Hello.

LAUGHTER

SCREAMING

LAUGHTER Oh, no.

-Ooh, how smashing!

-Hello. LAUGHTER

'Prank Patrol recruit Spencer is about to blow away his friend Joel

'with some supersonic sounds.

'But will the magic guitar be enough to crank this prank to 11?

-'Or will this be a one-hit blunder?'

-THEY LAUGH

Keep going. Another go.

OK, Spence, welcome back to the prank location.

-It's just about prank time. So are you ready to rock it?

-Yeah!

Oh, classic Spence right there! Now, everything's in place.

-Remember the shop owner?

-Yeah.

That's one of our Prank Patrol actors, Justin.

-Hey, Spencer, how are you, man?

-Good.

What instrument do you want Joel to play during the prank?

-HE PLAYS INSTRUMENTS

-Definitely the trumpet.

CLATTERING Done, buddy!

Trumpet's in the bag. Now for our main man of the prank,

it is the headlining act, it is Mickle-McGistle-McTisle!

Or for you guys at home, Michael Paynter.

He's in the zone, ready for a big finishing performance.

Any last tips for Spencer at all?

Nah, bro, he's well-rehearsed and completely ready to rock.

Fantastic! Time to do some rock and roll!

-Yeah! Let's hug it out!

-CRICKETS CHIRP

No? All right, well, it's time to release the Ninjas!

'The blueprint for Spencer's prank is a magic guitar, a rock star,

'a guitar fake-out, a blown-up amp and a freaked out Joel.

'All this to prove that Spencer truly is a guitar star.'

I think the preparation is going really well. I've had a lot of fun.

'It's prank time!'

'Spencer asked Joel to come to the store to help him pick out a guitar

'and it's going to be a very, very special one at that.'

-Yeah!

-Eighties glam, this is the eighties glam rock.

'Time for the boys to meet our Prank Patrol shop owner.'

-Two little boys looking for two little toys, eh?

-Yeah.

How are you, man? So what are you looking for?

-I'm looking for a guitar.

-A guitar?

-'In a guitar store? No way!'

-Well, you're in the right place.

-Isn't he?

-Yeah!

-Are you looking for a guitar, too?

-Nah, I'm just with my friend.

-'Hm, this boy doesn't need a guitar,

-'he needs a prank!'

-Your lips, you're a trumpet player, right?

I can spot a trumpet player across a room, man.

-I can spot a trumpeter from across a shopping centre.

-'Impressive!'

-I have a talent for it. You're definitely a trumpeter.

-'You sure?'

-No, I'm not.

-That's your instrument. Puff your lips as hard as you can.

Look at that! He's like a blowfish! Do it again.

-Look at that! He's like Hootie and the Blowfish. Get it?

-Yeah!

'This guy's hilarious.'

-So, we're looking for a guitar for you?

-Yeah.

-Is it your first guitar?

-It's his third.

-Third.

-Wow! So you're experienced. Sweet, dog!

So are you looking at an acoustic?

-Or an electric?

-I'm looking more for an electric.

-This was my first guitar, man.

-It's nice.

-This is an LTT Black.

Have a good look at this in the light. Check it out.

-It's a mean axe, man.

-Yeah.

-Do you want to give it a go?

-Yeah, awesome!

I have a theory that the instrument chooses the guitar player.

-'Interesting.'

-Just see if it likes you, man, give it a go.

-Sweet!

Drop it on your knee there. Come round here and have a look, man.

Nice move, nice move. All right. Give it a go.

'Somehow, I don't think this is the right guitar for our prankster.'

Peter, Paul and Mary! Let me look at those fingers.

Sweet. They're awesome. Let me have a look at your hands.

'Ouch! Maybe stick to the trumpet!'

You know, this guitar isn't good enough for you.

I'm going to put this back and get you another one.

I've got a special thing for band hands, man.

'Time to reveal the Magic Guitar!'

I bought this at an auction late December back in '63.

-What a night!

-'1963? Wow, this guy must be, like, 70.'

-It's known to some people as Excalibur.

-That's an awesome name.

Isn't it? It is a cool name. What do you guys think of it?

I think it looks awesome. Don't you, mate? I like the classic style.

Jimi Hendrix actually played this.

-'Whoa! We're not worthy!'

-It's an amazing piece of machinery.

The thing about this guitar, it's a kooky guitar, seriously.

It's known in the industry. It either lets you play it

-or it doesn't let you play it at all.

-'That's pretty kooky.'

I want band hands, Mr special hands to give it a play.

-Yeah, OK.

-Let me get you a seat.

Who is the best guitarist out of you two?

-Last time I saw him, he was actually pretty good.

-Was he?

So you're both pretty good. But you're a natural trumpeter.

-I've never even picked one up.

-Really?

'This kid is no good at blowing his own horn.'

You've never tried a trumpet?

That's cool. I'm going to get you a trumpet by the end of the day. OK.

Just strap that on, man. Be really careful with that, yeah?

I want some feedback. Whatever you want, man, just play...

I'm going to step it up a notch.

I'm going to come back with something so bear with me.

-Right! Here we go!

-'Trumpet time!'

Yeah? What do you reckon? The blowfish, yeah? The blowfish.

Give it a go. This is your instrument. OK?

Before you do it, breathe in. Deep.

'That trumpet that Joel is about to blow on has been specially modified

'so no matter how hard you blow, the sound that comes out is awful.'

-All do that.

-THEY ALL BLOW

-'I'm feeling it.'

-That's perfect, guys. Now let's do it.

'And-a-one, and-a-two, and-a...'

-TRUMPET SQUEAKS

-Wiggle!

-Keep going! Another go!

-'And once more with feeling.'

One more go, man, and I reckon you'll get it. Go!

-WHEEZING

-Sorry, you'll never get it.

'Maybe he'd be better on triangle.'

I'm usually never wrong, which is strange,

but I'm really wrong cos you almost busted it.

'Here's rock star Michael Paynter to amp up the guitars

'and blow our trumpeter away.'

-Hey, man, how are you?

-Good, bro, good. Cool shop, man.

Yep. I've got some stuff back here. Got some guitars. Check these out.

-We've just been jamming.

-How you doing? Michael.

-Spencer.

-How are you, Spencer?

-And this is Billy Joel.

-Is your name really Billy Joel?

-No, it's just Joel.

-That's a nice looking guitar.

-It's awesome.

-Yeah, it is the Excalibur!

-So is this the one

that, like, only a few people can supposedly play?

'That's the one baby!

'The one that's going to make Spencer look like a rock legend.'

-Can I hear it? Can you play?

-Let's hear them jam.

-You want to play this guitar?

-Yeah, is that all right?

-'Jam with Michael Paynter? No way!'

-Turn that on. That's it.

'Cue the Ninjas with Spencer's recorded track

'that will crank this prank to the max!'

One, two, three, four. THEY PLAY GUITAR MELODY

-Yeah!

-'Rocking with the big boys now, Spencer.'

# I remember the time when I was searching my mind

# Just to find out if I'd ever define who I am

# Could I ever afford to consider being bought

-# I was sure that I saw all the world...

-Whoo! This is good, huh?

# I keep checking my direction, watching my own reflection in the...

-He even knows where to come in!

-Yeah, he does, man. He's good.

-He's got a natural beat.

-# I'm in a daze

'Take it to the bridge, Spencer!'

# What if I dive off the edge of my life

-# And there's nothing beneath?

-Whoo-hoo!

# What if I live like there's nothing to lose

# Just to die on my knees?

# At least I'll know I walked the dark

# I took the scars, I risked it all

# And learn to love the fall

# I'm here

# My hands are cold, my heart is racing

# Yeah

# The only fear is fear of failing

Yeah, that was awesome!

# What if I dive off the end of my life

'Here comes our rocking granny to join in the action!'

# What if I live like there's nothing to lose

# Just to die on my knees, yeah

-# At least I'll know...

-Have a little dance, man.

That's it, man. That's it.

# Oh, yeah, baby

# And learned to love the fall

# And learned to love the fall

-Whoo!

-'Wow, Spencer can really play!'

-How good was that? That was amazing!

-How did you know the song, man?

A teacher told me. It's a really cool song, I love it.

-Well, you've got a good teacher.

-'Hey, didn't you teach him?'

Wicked teacher, man. That's a wicked teacher.

We sound checked down the road

and you sounded better than my guitarist. That's pretty cool.

-I think it's partly the guitar.

-It sounds amazing.

-Is it for sale?

-Sorry, man, Excalibur, it's not about the money.

I had this thing, if someone could play it, it belongs to them.

-So, it's not mine to keep anymore.

-Really?

It's a spiritual connection that he has with the guitar.

'Spencer and the guitar are now one.'

All right, how about this. What about if you two came on the...

We always need extra guitarists so do you want to come on tour with us?

'On tour? Are you serious?'

I have a guitarist but we need two more. That sounds so good.

'I can't believe we're going on tour!'

How about this, my drummer is in the car, if I go wake him up,

-go chat to the boys, see if I can...

-Yeah, awesome!

-Is that cool?

-Yeah.

-All right, back in a sec.

This is an amazing day. Put the guitar down. Let me put that down.

I want to take a photo of this, man. Both next to the guitar, cool?

-Yeah.

-I have a camera back here. Bear with me.

'With our Prank Patrol actor out of the room, it's time for Spencer

'to give Joel control of Excalibur

'and bring the house down on this prank!'

-EXPLOSION

-Oh, my gosh!

EXPLOSIONS AND CRASHING

What are you doing, man? He's busted my shop!

'Maybe it'd be better if he put the magic guitar down nice and gently.'

Where's this kid? 'Uh-oh, it's the drummer.'

-Are you this kid that's coming on tour?

-Yep.

-Mate, what's your name?

-Spencer.

-And who are you?

-I'm Joel.

Spencer, do you have anything to say?

Joel, you've just been pranked by Prank Patrol!

You've just been pranked by the Prank Patrol, Joel!

I thought the prank went really well. I had heaps of fun.

The prank was all right. Pretty good. But Spencer is going to get it.

Spence, your hands aren't that beautiful, no matter what he said.

You just been pranked by Prank Patrol.

Hey, guys. I got a little song for you.

# The sky's the limit

# Candles and chocolates and picnic-lit dinners

# The sky's the limit

It's going to be a big hit.
