Songs

If You're Into It is a rewritten version of Coco's Song, with simple and direct lyrics describing what Bret would realistically like to do with Coco if she were into it. The suggestions begin innocently but escalate to sexual fantasies, ending with a proposed threesome in a kitchen. Bret sings it for Coco while sitting on the ledge of the Unisphere, with Jemaine singing the chorus. Pencils in the Wind (also known as Sellotape) is a heartfelt ode to the similarities between love and adhesive tape. It begins with Bret and Jemaine singing separately in different locations using split screen, and ends with most of the cast and a large chorus of extras singing together in a night-time street scene. The song concludes with Bret and Jemaine rising from the ground, similar to the end of Grease and the music video for It's Oh So Quiet by Björk. The long coda features scat singing in a style similar to Hey Jude. Coco's Song is Bret's love song for Coco, though only pieces are featured; it is mentioned that the song is two hours long. Jemaine questions the commitments Bret makes, such as to climb the highest mountain, and suggests rewriting it with more realistic promises. The song She-Wolf is briefly seen as a song Jemaine is writing, expressing his dislike for and mistrust of Coco.
