Overview

The video opens with two baseball players in full uniform sitting at a bar, lip-syncing a negotiation scene from the movie 'The Greatest Showman'. They act out the dialogue, take shots, and shake hands before the scene abruptly transitions to a baseball stadium. On the field, the two players are joined by the rest of their team to perform a massive, highly energetic, and synchronized dance routine complete with acrobatics, flips, and continuous lip-syncing to the musical track.

    Savannah Bananas Recreate "The Other Side" from The Greatest Showman

Transcript

Well, it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly. So what percentage of the show would I be taking? No enough. You'd want a piece of all the action. I'd give you seven. We can shake and make it happen. I wasn't born this morning. 18 would be just fine. Why not just go ahead and ask for niggles on the line? 15. I do eight. 12. Maybe nine. 10. Sir, looks like you have yourself a junior partner. What I have is an overcompensated apprentice.
