There’s people on the street getting diseases from monkeys
Yeah, that’s what I said – they’re getting diseases from monkeys

A história trata de um duo de cantores que saíram duma Nova Zelândia atrasada e pouco desenvolvida e que chegam ao estranho ambiente de Nova Iorque para tentarem a sua sorte.
