We know it’s not a hockey game but uh.... You okay, you alright? How ‘bout you? We’d now like to play a song that uh...that is uh...moving, heh heh. Uh, very moving. Uh, this is called Try, Try, Try.

BC: Wait wait wait wait wait.

Iha: Ah.
BC: Teemoo.
Iha: Ah yes. Teemoo.
BC: Teemoo, Teemoo Iha.
Holmes: (with vocoder) Teemoo Spicoli. (chanting “Teemoo”, stops after Iha says “...another life”)
Iha: I remember another life when I was a Finnish fisherman. Yes, I was catching cod. Why?
Fisherman’s Song (acoustic)
(Iha: I remember my mother, she was a cobbler, she made shoes for all the Finnish people. Perhaps it was the greatest thing she had ever done with her life, to be a cobbler. My father, a brave man, he was a mathematician, brilliant. He could’ve even won the Nobel Peace Prize. So what I did is built a time machine. Yes, a Finnish time machine. I went back in time and saw myself as a young Finnish fisherman catching cod. And I loved life. And I had a natural affinity for life, (singing) for life, for life. Life. Life. Life.)
> Du Hast (tease)
BC: (speaking) Du. Du hast. Du hast mich.
Iha: Du hast mich.
> Fisherman’s Song (reprise)
(Iha: Life. What a great life it is to be in Finland. We love your country, it is so cold and sunny. I have nothing else to say.)
BC: Teemoo? Teemoo?
Iha: Yes, yes. Where am I?
BC: Tell the truth now.
Iha: Actually, I’m from Chicago and I’m a guitar player. I went to art school. I don’t know what I was thinking, I’m sorry.
BC: Before I play our last song, we’d like to say thank you to all the Smashing Pumpkins fans for waiting for us to come here so long. We say god bless you, thank you, thank god, love you.
1979 (acoustic, Jimmy plays guitar)
