Okay then:

Soon, almost all of Equestria was gathered in the Crystal Emporium, cheering like crazy. Shining Armor spoke into the mic.

"And now, fillies and gentlecolts," said Shining Armor, "Honored by Canterlot, decorated by Celestia, and loved here in Equestria, here are The Wiggles!"

The cheering got louder as James, Greg, Murray, Jeff, and Anthony walked up onto the stage.

"Hello, hello," said James into the mic.

The cheering quieted down a bit so The Wiggles can be heard.

"That's better," said James, "Fillies and Gentlecolts, tonight, you are all in for a fantastic treat!"

"We've gathered whatever musical acts we could to appear on this very stage to show off their talent," said Greg.

"But to start things off," said Murray, "we'll let James and his band have their own little act."

With that being said, James and his band, The Jimmy Wigg Group, opened the show up with "Must To Avoid", "Gotta Feeling", and "Where Were You When I Needed You", all by British pop group Herman's Hermits. Afterwards, they left the stage and James got back on the mic.

"And now," said James, "it's time to introduce our first guests: A parody of a new wave group from the late 70's. From the town of Sodor, Massachusetts, here are The Brakevans!"

James then left, and The Brakevans, which consisted of Charles Colette Jr., or "Duck", as he preferred to be called, on bass and backing and lead vocals, his younger brother Oliver on rhythm guitar and backing and lead vocals, lead guitarist and backing vocalist James Roman, keyboardist and backing vocalist Edward Gresley, and drummer Arthur Ivatt took the stage.

"Hello, Equestria," Duck said into the mic.

The band then sang "Just What I Needed", "You Might Think", and "Bye Bye Love", all by The Cars. Once they were done, Murray approached the group.

"And now, fillies and gentlecolts," said Murray, "I'd like to take this time to introduce you The Brakevans, starting with this fellow right here on bass. What's your name?"

"Charles Collette, Jr.," said Duck, "but my friends call me "Duck"."

"And why do they call you that," asked Murray.

"Because of how I sometimes like to waddle around like, well, a duck," said Duck.

Duck then waddled around the stage, which made the crowd laugh.

"Now, who's this gentlemen right here with the green guitar," asked Murray.

"This is my kid brother, Oliver," said Duck, "We call him "Ollie"."

"Hello, Oliver, welcome to the show," said Murray Oliver waved his hands in the air and the crowd cheered, "And who's over here with the red guitar?"

"That's James Roman," said Duck.

James made a peace sign with both hands.

"James, howdy," said Murray, "What about the man on keyboards here?"

"That's Mister Edward Gresley," said Duck.

Edward bowed.

"And lastly, the guy back here on the drums," asked Murray, "Who's this?"

"This is Arthur Ivatt," said Duck.

"Nice," said Murray, "Now, tell me, what made you guys want to start this band?"

"Well," said Oliver, "one of our parents' favorite bands is The Cars."

"Yeah," said Edward as he joined Duck and Oliver, "The same can be said for my dad."

"And my mom," said James.

"And mine," said Arthur.

"Wow," said Murray, "Your parents must be really into that kind of music."

"Yeah," said Duck, "And one day, I thought we'd form this band and perform at my parents' 21st wedding anniversary party as a special present for them."

"Of course," said Oliver, "it was a surprise."

"Well, that was a great idea," said Murray, "The Brakevans, fillies and gentlecolts!"

All the members of The Brakevans bowed as the crowd cheered.
