From Joshua Ross on that youtube page:

guide to the blues:

1:38 push the cameraman out of the way for the theremin solo
1:43 he didn't take the hint so push the camera
2:03 run for the mic, grab it off the tech guy, drag the mic stand behind you
2:12 give the host a shake, jab your finger in his face
2:22 get in the crowd
2:30 another theremin solo
3:09 having introduced the band and done a James Brown false finish, do another theremin solo
3:35 get right in the crowd, there's no staircase so climb inbetween children and see which ones get embarrassed by the camera being on them and which are cool
4:07 fall over
4:12 climb on a kitchen counter
4:25 attack a giant inflatable R with a crown
4:35 leapfrog drumkit to bring down your own name
4:53 give the camera another push
4:56 conduct the crowd's applause
5:07 bow, walk off stage with instrument, do not acknowledge crowd
