Sample bars include “Omar S, he wanted class, a sexy car that drives so fast. Now he’s got it, in his spicy GTR” and “Omar S, he deserves the best, ‘cause he put us to the test, ‘cause we’re better than the rest”.
Omar S responds to the serenading by saying “I appreciate it, thank you very much” and the two men embrace. It’s surreal, but also genuinely quite wholesome.
