GAIL :

What, do you think we

care about just watching

you guys?

It's a competition! Hello!

You guys just sing

other people's songs, right?

- Like a cover band.

- (chuckling):
No, no, no, no.

- No.

- Uh, no, no, no. Uh, well,

actually, Emily writes

original songs for the Bellas.

I mean, I don't really

do it anymore.

- I kind of did that one, and then I.

- Hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

You with us or against us?

And it was one of your dads

who gave you

the spot on the tour, right?

- (gasps) Oh, my God.

- Um.

- Ooh.

- EMILY :
Guys, stop.

They just don't like

sharing the spotlight,

so they're trying

to intimidate us.

Let's just take the high road

and do what we do.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

What are you thinking?

- A riff-off.

- (gasping)

- That's not what I was thinking.

- A riff-off!

Wait. Yes.

A riff-off! Yes!

- What is a riff-off?

- Yeah.

A riff-off is a little game

that we like to play

to see who's better.

- Mm-hmm.

- We start with a topic. Um.

- Let's say "party songs."

- Ooh. - Nice.

Yeah, and then we

lay down a beat.

- GAIL :
Oh, yeah, bring it, Bellas!

- (John chuckling)

- Oh, go, ladies.

- (beatboxing)

I'm comin' up

So you better get

this party started

I'm comin' up, I'm comin'

I'm comin' up, so you

Don't you dare look back,

just keep your eyes on me

I said,

"You're holding back"

She said, "Shut up

and dance with me"

Give me that toot-toot

Let me give you

that beep-beep

Running her hands

through my fro

Bouncing on 24s

while they say on the radio

It's the remix to ignition,

hot and fresh out the kitchen

- Mama rollin'

- Rollin' in my 6-4

- Bada-bop

- With all my Bellas saying

Swing down, sweet chariot,

stop and let me ride

- Hell yeah

- Swing down

Sweet chariot, stop

and let me ride

Let me ride.

(holding high note)

Is that feedback?

(continues holding note)

CHLOE :
Yeah, so you guys saw

what we did there, right?

- Yeah.

- So. it's singing.

CHLOE :

No, well. (chuckles)

We just took the last word

of the old song

and matched it

with the first word

of the new song,

but you stay on tempo,

stay on beat,

stay on pitch and, of course,

- keep it in the relative key.

- CALAMITY :
That was great.

- That was really well done.

- Yeah.

AUBREY :

Okay, okay.

Round two.

Let's keep it simple this time.

What about.

"artists you didn't know

were Jewish"?

- Mm.

- That was crazy.

- What?

- Let's do this.

- Let's do this.

- Okay.

(beatboxing)

- Oh.

- Mm-hmm.

- Oh

- I wish that I could fly

- I could fly

- So very high

- Very high

- Into the sky, yeah

Just like a dragonfly

I want to, I want to

I want to get away

- Yeah, well, get away, then.
