Looked like Luka was going to go next. Holly was okay with that, at least mostly okay. At this point she was just delaying the inevitable and she knew that. She also knew that they'd be most likely to remember whoever went last, so maybe waiting wasn't such a good idea. Oh well.
The song started. Of course it'd be some kind of eurobeat, Holly mentally groaned but tried her best to not let it show. She thought that would be the most questionable part of the song, but then Luka actually started singing. Holly blinked. Did that girl not realize what she was saying? Did she not realize what she was doing? Who even taught her to do stuff like that? She just stared at her a little stunned and continued to do so even after the song ended. When she realized her jaw was hanging a little she quickly took a sip of her drink. It was fortunate that everyone responded faster than she did.
"Stunning."
With a smile and a nod was her only comment. She honestly wasn't sure what else to say. It was rare that she felt this speechless, but how the heck was she even supposed to respond to that? She looked a little weird after that too, so Holly glanced at the label on the drink Luka was having. Sangria? How much did she drink? Well, this was sure to be eventful. She just hoped that it didn't end up like her visit to the shrine festival.
Ran went next. Holly was, once again, rather surprised, but this time she felt like she shouldn't be. Really, her performance was almost adorable with how much she was flirting with Luka. Was that supposed to be a hint? Luka didn't strike her as the type to get it, but she didn't feel like she should interfere personally. If Ran was too embarrassed about her feelings to say it directly then anything she said would probably make it worse. When her performance was done she just clapped lightly.
"Well done."
With that, it was her turn. She took another sip of her drink in order to hold back a deep breath and possibly a sigh. Holly wasn't quite sure what to pick. All of the picks so far had been quite unexpected to say the least. Hm, unexpected...That gave her one idea. The song would probably be easy enough to sing too...
The intro started as she took the stage. Most of the lyrics were complete nonsense, so if she messed up the words they might not even notice. The melody wasn't difficult either, but it was oddly catchy in her opinion. Soon, the words started.
She got less into her performance than everyone else, but her movements had an edge of professionalism that the others didn't have. While she didn't sing, she did dance, and had been taking lessons and performing since she was about seven. She was mostly able to follow the melody, though she couldn't help but feel a little silly singing those goos and made up words. They were a little hard to take seriously, and how weird it felt showed just a little on her face. Normally she might be able to pass it off as something else or even hide it, but these people knew her well. They'd likely catch it. She also stumbled on one of the faster parts of the song, but considering how little sense it made she was able to recover easily. She was pretty sure no one would notice unless they were looking at the screen to follow the words as well.
With a small bow, Holly set down the mic and returned to her seat, taking a small sip of her drink and looking towards everyone else for comments.

"I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun see how they fly
I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come
Corporation teeshirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you been a naughty boy. You let your face grow long
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob
Mister City Policeman sitting, pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come
You get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo goo joob
Expert textpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied
I'm crying
Semolina pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man you should have seen them kicking Edgar Alan Poe
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob
Goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob
Goo gooooooooooo jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba
Jooba jooba
Jooba jooba
Jooba jooba"
