Jimmy Rabbitte, a hipster, is having an imaginary interview with Graham Norton while riding his one speed bike through Temple Bar,

He describes how he once set up a facebook appreciation page for early Seventies electronic music and after arranging a WhatsApp meet up in his dads microbrewery, he describes how he once upon a time created a grass roots Dublin electronic band calling themselves The Commitments. Their first gig which is at the opening ceremony of another Donut shop in Dublin becomes a massive local success. The band comprises of a motley mixture of a neckbeard called Dean, a goth called Imelda, Natalie who works in Penneys, a Luas driver called Deco, Ginesh and Buresh who work for Google and Mickah Wallace, who acts as their security and who you do not want to fcuk with. Another member is Joey 'the Grips' Fagan, a mysterious teetotal former roadie who entralls the group with sordid tales of working with Avicii and Tiesto in far flung places while offering wisdom, shagging Imelda which provokes jealousy from the others but he at least is handy for spins to gigs in his Dacia people carrier.

Their breakout hit uses a sample from Mack Rice's 1965 hit 'Mustang Sally'. It is a call and response between Deco and both Imelda and Natalie. Unfortunately at the peak of their fame i.e. an appearance on Today with Daithi and Maura, the lyric contained in the song i.e. "Ride Sally Ride" which is repeated exactly one hundred times in the 3 minute between the vocalists provokes a deluge of complaints leading to accusations that it promotes sexual aggression and social media coins the hashtag #SallyToo.

Jimmy goes on the Late Late Show with Ryan Tubridy. It doesn't go well. Joining him on the panel is a tearful Indo journalist called Sally McGrath from Longford. Her powerful story about the time in 1995 when a Norrie in Cork told her she was 'a flah like" in Kent Station makes a deep impact on the audience and viewers. She says Jimmy's song triggers panic in her whenever it is played. It leads to an immediate public backlash. Some radio programmes bleep the lyric which considering it is repeated one hundred times reduces the song to sounding like morse code instead. Other stations ban the song completely affecting sales but the bleeped version itself becomes a breakout hit reaching #5 in the iTunes download chart and described by the Irish Times as an 'avant garde masterpiece'. This attracts the attention of Isao Tomita, a japanese pioneer of electronic music who is in Dublin for a flying visit and who Joey worked with in the 1980's. He manages to persuade him into playing with the band in Whelans pub in Dublin but Tomita shows up too late. Jimmy as manager has in the meantime invested the profits into Bitcoin due to his FOMO. After squandering most of the bands profits coupled with infighting The Commitments disband while Jimmy reminisces about what might have been in an imaginary interview with Joe Duffy on Lahvlahn regaling Joe about his all too brief foray into electronic music and their fleeting touch of fame.
