So let's see how it goes.
- (React) Ross and Rocky, what's up?
- What's up?
- (React) So we have a fun challenge for you.
We thought it would be interesting to see just how well
you really know your own music.
In the first part, we will show you one second from your own songs,
and we'll see how many you can guess correctly.
Alright, and then in part two, we'll see if you can
finish some of your own lyrics.
- I have a feeling we're gonna be pretty good at this game.
- Yeah, I feel like you should win.
- So it's a race for the button. - Yeah.

That's the thing, you could just hit it.
I knew what song it was right when I heard it.
If you get it wrong. - It's Places.
What's funny though is I actually didn't do anything on that song.
Occasionally Rocky has songs he just produces and sings himself.
- You did a ton of the video.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, the video, yeah.
I had more of my hands on the video.
It kinda started with Rocky and I just listening to the song in the car,
and then I was, oftentimes when you're like
oh wow, I see a music video.
Maybe this one will happen,
and then just step by step, you just like write some treatment out.
You try to get everyone on board.
Honestly, like, it's really, it really is such a team effort.

it's gonna be one second just like the others.

Every time I see it, it just makes me think of
moving that piano. - Oh yeah!

So how this will work,
I'm gonna play you a clip from a song.
