[ Despite the fact that he had also been a bit mysterious in revealing what song he wanted Taako to sing, Cisco feels a momentary twinge of worry when Taako goes to input it without even letting Cisco know what it is. He narrows his eyes a little, dubious, but gets to his feet once Taako returns.
Cisco makes his way up to the stage right as the guy before him is finishing, heartrate picking up a little. He shouldn't feel nervous. It's stupid to feel nervous. But Taako's solo act had just been so charming, had looked so effortless and fun. What if he picked something that's way out of Cisco's range, or something he hasn't heard of, or...
He gets onto the stage, taking the mic between his two hands, nervously waiting for the lyrics to come onto the prompter. Before they do, however, the background music kicks in, and it doesn't even take a full second for Cisco to recognize it. And then he is bent double, hanging onto the mic stand to keep from falling over, laughing so hard he almost can't breathe. Just roll with it. And he hadn't even realized...
He straightens up, gasps back giggles and fans a hand in front of his face, trying to get hold of himself before the singing part starts. Cisco sounds a little choked for the first few words, clearly barely keeping himself from bursting into laughs again. There is scattered laughter in the crowd, too - at least half of them seem to know what is happening, why this is funny.
Cisco settles into the song, belting it out in a pretty serviceable impersonation of the great Astley himself. In a way, it was the perfect selection for Taako to make; Cisco doesn't worry about singing beautifully, about acting sexy or like a diva or any of that. He can just be funny, and being funny is something Cisco is good at. He replicates some of the sillier dance moves from the music video, laughing as a few members of the crowd stand up to join in.
When the song ends, Cisco goes bounding off the stage and back to Taako. ]
That's gonna be stuck in my head forever, now, I hope you're happy.
[ By which he clearly means: that was wonderful, thank you. ]
