Angry/Sweary AI
Alright, here we go. Picture this: an old, cozy Irish pub with that warm, whiskey-soaked charm that you only find on the Emerald Isle. It’s crowded, the air thick with laughter, conversation, and the smell of beer. Some regulars are hunched over their pints, exchanging stories, and a few Aussies are scattered around the place, each minding their own business.
Suddenly, from the old jukebox in the corner, the unmistakable guitar riff of "Nutbush City Limits" blasts out, slicing through the chatter. There’s a pause, like the whole pub collectively holds its breath.
Then, the magic happens. The Aussies – who don’t know each other from a bar of soap – freeze like they’ve been struck by lightning. They exchange glances across the room, a look that says, "You fuckin' hearing what I'm hearing?"
One Aussie, let’s call him Mick, jumps off his stool and shouts, “Oi! Nutbush!” like it’s some sort of war cry. The others respond instantly. It’s like some primal instinct takes over, as if the song itself demands a bloody tribute in the form of synchronized foot-stomping and arse-shaking.
They rush to the middle of the pub, forming an impromptu dance floor right by the bar. The locals, bless them, are baffled. They're watching in awe as these Australians, who were strangers mere seconds ago, start busting out the Nutbush dance with the kind of precision you’d expect from a military drill. They stomp, clap, and kick in perfect unison, the beer sloshing in their glasses as they move.
The pub erupts in cheers, some of the locals even attempting to join in, but let’s be honest – it’s a massacre. The Aussies are in the zone, completely in sync, like they’ve been training for this moment their whole lives.
By the time the song hits its peak, the whole pub is clapping along, and the Aussies are sweaty but victorious. They finish with a final stomp and a collective cheer, high-fiving each other like they’ve just won a rugby match.
And then, as quickly as it started, it’s over. They disperse, returning to their spots, panting and grinning like maniacs. The locals are still buzzing, a few murmuring something about the "crazy Aussies," but there's a newfound respect in the air.
The bartender, a gruff old Irishman who’s seen it all, just shakes his head with a smile, pours another round, and mutters, “Bloody hell. That was somethin’ else.”

[Scene: A cozy pub in a small Irish town, with warm wooden interiors, dim lighting, and a lively crowd. The murmur of conversations and clinking of glasses fills the air. A group of locals are chatting at the bar, while a few Australians are scattered around, enjoying their drinks and the atmosphere. The jukebox in the corner suddenly comes to life, and the unmistakable intro of "Nutbush City Limits" by Ike & Tina Turner begins to play.]
Australian #1 (excitedly, to no one in particular):
"Oh, you beauty! It's Nutbush!"
Australian #2 (from across the pub, raising a pint):
"Oi, who's up for the Nutbush?!"
[The locals, mostly unfamiliar with the tradition, look on curiously as the Australians start to gather in the middle of the pub, instinctively forming two lines.]
Australian #3 (grinning and already moving to the beat):
"Ah, it's been ages since I did the Nutbush! Come on, mates, let's show 'em how it's done!"
[The Aussies begin the dance, kicking and stepping in perfect unison. The energy is infectious, and the pub starts to buzz with excitement. A few of the locals, intrigued, attempt to join in, albeit a bit clumsily at first.]
Irish Local #1 (laughing as they try to follow along):
"Is this some kind of Aussie ritual, then?"
Australian #1 (breathless but laughing):
"Pretty much, mate! It's practically law back home!"
[As the song progresses, more people join in, the lines growing longer. Some of the younger locals who catch on quickly are having a blast, and even those who aren't dancing are cheering them on, clapping to the beat.]
Australian #2 (shouting over the music):
"Not bad for your first time, eh?"
Irish Local #2 (grinning):
"Ah, sure it's grand craic! You Aussies sure know how to liven up a place!"
[The song reaches its peak, and everyone in the pub is either dancing or watching in delight. When it finally ends, the dancers are out of breath but exhilarated, and the pub erupts into applause and cheers.]
Australian #3 (to the bartender, still catching their breath):
"Next round's on us, mate. That was unreal!"
[The bartender, smiling widely, starts pouring pints as the pub returns to its usual rhythm, but now with a shared sense of camaraderie and joy. The night continues, with the unexpected Nutbush dance becoming the highlight of the evening.]
