Bruno Mars, this will surprise you that I've done this much research.
-
I hear it's not your real name.
-
It's not my real name.
-
It's not his real name.
-
You caught me.
-
Ok, that's all for tonight.
-
So what were you called?
-
Peter.
-
So where did the Bruno come from?
-
"Bruno"- I was a chubby baby and there was a wrestler in my dad's day named Bruno Sammartino.
-
Are you familliar?
-
I remember that wrestler, yes.
-
He was a stocky guy, and I used to walk around like a little bulldog, my dad said he'd always call me Bruno Sammartino.
-
"Mars" just kinda came joking around in the studio.
-
Oh yeah.
-
Saying I'm out of this world.
-
What people don't realise, they might have thought we were being stupid playing Billionaire when you came on.
-
But, you wrote Billionaire and you've written loads of songs, apart from-
-
Yeah, quite a few this year.
-
Yeah.
-
Now, call me lazy, but isn't that a much better way to go?
-
Just write songs for other people?
-
You make the money, you don't have to do the stupid touring.
-
No, I love that.
-
Stupid touring now.
-
Go on, what other songs have you written.
-
Come on, tell us, 'cause Billionaire was a huge hit, wasn't it?
-
I wrote Thriller, Purple Rain um- I'm joking.
-
Jimmy's going 'wow, that is impressive.'
-
Happy Birthday, that's his.
-
Happy Birthday, I wrote that one.
-
Can we see if this is a wig?
-
It's not a wig, but it's definitely been in that thing.
-
No, I recently did a song for Cee Lo called F- You.
-
I don't know if you guys heard that?
-
Oh my god.
-
That was you?
-
That's a great song.
-
That's amazing.
-
I'm obsessed with that song.
-
Awesome, thank you.
-
Why would you give that song away though 'cause you're a singer and a solo artist, why would you...?
-
It wasn't given away, we had a session booked with him and we started jamming and that was the song we came up with.
-
Have you ever heard this song?
-
No.
-
What!
-
It's extraordinary.
-
This is a great song.
-
- I'm not good on modern stuff. - If only we had someone here who could sing it...
-
Come on, give us a burst.
