[ Calling it that doesn't inspire a great deal of confidence in terms of Taako's familiarity with the song (which he should have expected, it's not like Taako grew up watching it over and over or singing along), but he has at least heard it and remembered basically what it was. Maybe that's enough? ]
Think you know it well enough to sing it?
[ Now that he's gotten his heart set on it, Cisco would be a little disappointed if he had to choose something else. ]

I've got the basics, and they put the lyrics up, right? Also it's a fucking kids movie, there can't be a lot of nuance.
[Stop dragging The Lion King.]

[ But whether intended or not (and... likely it's not), Taako's aspersions on the artistic merit of The Lion King are the final piece needed to really and properly distract Cisco from thinking about his powers. ]
I guess there's no accounting for taste.
[ Their names pop onto the 'up next' screen, and Cisco gets to his feet, sets his hand against the table to steady himself, and then once the room obliges him by not moving quite so much, he begins to make his way to the stage. As he's walking, he says over his shoulder. ]
You know just for that I'm gonna pick a kid's movie when we get home. Just for that.

(It's the latter, he didn't really need to cuddle up to Cisco to keep from stumbling too much, he just gets affectionate when drunk.)]
You're taking this very personally.
[Why do people keep casting aspersions on his taste!!! It's a very rude thing to do and as revenge Taako is going to keep being a little bit of a shit about the movie, even if he has no real issues with kids films.
They can be more fun than movies designed for adults; Taako isn't really the type to watch a movie for a deep and interesting story, he's just there for pretty colours and jokes.]
If it's one about siblings I'll kick your ass.
[Just because those always result in too many emotions.]
no subject
[ Hard to make a pronouncement like that sound grave when Taako is clinging onto him like that and they're both weaving their way through a packed bar towards a stage where they're going to sing Disney karaoke. ]
No sibling stuff, got it.
[ Pretty much any other request Taako could have made right then, Cisco would've done the exactly opposite. But he knows Taako well enough to know that, jokes aside, it's just not a good idea to open that can of worms. Siblings feelings worms. Especially not when earlier in the evening Taako was so abjectly miserable.
They make their way onto the now-empty stage, and soon the song starts to play. It's been a little while since Cisco's heard the song, and Taako has only heard it once, so it takes a bit longer than the first performance for them to fall into the groove of it. But the message, at the very least, seems highly appropriate. And on the chorus in particular, the two of them shine. The whole "ignore your problems indefinitely" thing might not work in reality, but it sure is nice to pretend, for just a little while. ]
