Radio Announcer: The demons hate to listen to this thing. Demoniac 1: You’d better not listen to him, if you know what’s good for you. Better not listen to him, if you know what’s good for you. Yeh! I don’t have to listen to you. I don’t have to listen to you! I’m not listening to you and that stupid song. Demoniac 2: Shut that song off! I hate that song! Turn it off; I hate it! Ahhhhh …. ! Turn it off! Turn it off! Noooooo …. ! No! I don’t believe it! Turn it off! Turn it off!
