Don't you be starting love. I've had too much drink Had too much time to think So leave me alone I'm Jordan, I'm in Cherub and I play guitar, and I sing vocals as well as playing the guitar. Second guest: I'm Jason. I do our live production and I wear the leather pants. It may be the year of the Capri-Sun, but it's also the year of the socks. It's all about your sock game. And matching your sock game with your pocket game, bro. Get on it. You gotta match. Or else you look like a dinkle-puffin. You have to match your socks with your shirt.
Do all the high-placed things that's too hard to pass, oh yeah, I hate you too, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. Doses and mimosas, champagne and cocaine how can get me through-ooh-ooh. The reason we chose the Instagram name Cherub Lamusica, was because cherub. com was already taken so we used cherublamusica for all of our social media. It just kind of like spread. Plus, we had just gotten off tour from Mexico so we were like in that vibe, I think. Second guest: I don't even know what Jordan's dance moves would be called but he's got this one like this one like just go get him stripper dance that he does. It's just like, it's like this and it's awesome and I love it whenever I look over and he's just getting it. It's a good one.
This one from the boose, making rage and chaos. Beam me up and cash, I don't care how long it lasts, it comes and goes. Pass with my ankles. So yeah, the talk box is actually like a preamp that I hook my guitar up into and then there's a tube that you put in the talk box. And then that tube goes into my mouth and then the sound is concentrated through that tube and then sound explosions come in my mouth. And then when I open my mouth, I release those sound explosions into a microphone. The microphone picks it up and then we party. Dude, the foot pedals are my favorite part. I love gear. I love all that sort of good stuff. So, that like, my friend Craig at Guitar Center, I'm probably his favorite person in the world 'cause I just go in there and I spend way too much of our money. If I could collaborate with any female vocalist it'd be Mariah Carey. I think keeping up the crowd is just keeping it rock and roll and making everybody get sweaty and not afraid to touch each other.
Hey, we're Cherub and you're watching Young Hollywood.
Hold me in my sleep, hold me in my sleep, hold me forever. Nothing's what it seems, nothing's what it seems, keep it together. Living in our dreams, living in our dreams, living forever.
