It's not fair, dad, why can't I be in a boy band ?
Because I said so !
Dad, Cartman said we're going to perform in the mall at three o'clock,
my friends are going to be pissed off at me. Let 'em be pissed off then.
I don't understand, just let me let me go do this one thing and I won't--
no !
No !
( Glass shattering )
Dad, what the hell is going on ?
I was...
I was 18 when my high school men's choir performed at the grand opening
of a sporting goods store in Denver.
♪ Everything will wait
♪ we are the little rains...
I was just one of 15 members
and I had no idea that a record producer was in the audience.
♪ ...The Colorado trail
kid, can I talk to you ? Sure.
You were really great out there.
Too good for a pissant choir in a pissant mountain town.
Oh, thanks.
Listen, I'm putting together a rock group,
a vocal group called "the Ghetto Avenue Boys".
I think you would make a perfect member.
What, me, you like my singing that much ?
Yeah, I think your mustache is perfect.
How would you like to come to New York
and start a singing career ?
Oh my God ! I don't know.
I mean, I still have another year of high school.
Hey, look, if you don't want it, I'll keep looking.
No, wait, I mean... I'll think about it.
I take it that means yes, call me in the morning.
And just like that, I left everything.
I dropped out of high school.
See ya !
I said good-bye to my girlfriend.
See ya !
And I left my family.
See ya !
And suddenly there I was,
thrown into a group with four other young men
who I didn't even know.
Take 112.
♪ You've got it, you know you've got it, girl ♪
♪ what you've got is it
the songs were terrible,
but believe it or not the country ate them up.
The next thing I knew,
we were the biggest thing in the world.
♪ What you've got is it
♪ now, give it to me 'cause... ♪
I had everything, a huge house
and all the women you can imagine.
And then one day, just as quick as it started...
All right guys, let's take it from the top.
Hey, Mr. Allens.
Hey, oh...
Uh, Randy.
Who are they ?
These are "the avenue ghetto street boys".
My new boy band.
But, we're still selling records right ?
Look, kid,
you're just getting a little old to be in a boy band.
I'm 19.
Get a life, Marsh !
All right, guys, let's take it from the top.
They said that after all the money we had made
we were in debt to the studio.
So they towed my car. See ya !
The women all left. See ya ! See ya !
And they took back my house. See ya !
The only thing I could do was come back to Colorado
and face everybody I had abandoned.
Hey, weren't you the guy in that stupid boy band,
"the Ghetto Avenue Boys" ?
Sure, I remember you.
♪ You got it baby
♪ you got it going on
( Laughter )
And so, you see, Stanley,
I do know what I'm talking about.
Jesus Christ, I never knew.
I didn't want you to know, because now I'm a joke.
Ever since then, I have wished every single day
that I can go back to that moment when I was offered the job
and say no !
Because all the fame, the money, the women,
all it did was build me up,
so that I could be knocked down harder than anybody in the world.
That's what being in a boy band is all about, Stan.
It's people smothering you and embracing you and loving you
and then spitting you out and throwing you away
like you were last night's pork chops.
Now, we wander the earth in disarray,
us, New Kids on the Block, the osmonds,
we're all the same.
And that is why you can't go to the mall.
Okay.
Wow, there must be at least 20 people out there.
Where the hell is Stan ?
He'll be here, Stan wouldn't douche.
I swear to God, if he ruins this dream of mine,
I will have his nuts !
Hey, are you gonna do that thing or what ?
Yes, yes, sir, any second, we're just waiting on one more member.
Well, hurry up, I can't keep the sausage and cheese cart off this spot much longer.
Yeah, we'll start right away.
We'll have to do it without him.
Hell no, I'm not being part of a four member boy band !
-We'll look stupid. -Yeah !
Oh, Goddamn it !
