Amerigo Vespucci Music Video Script: CiCi: So Kendra, who do you think is the best explorer for our history project? Kendra: Honestly CiCi, they all seem pretty boring to me. CiCi: No way, I think Amerigo Vespucci was pretty cool. Kendra: Do you even know the definition of cool CiCi? (Amerigo pops up) Vespucci: Yes, she does. CiCi: AMERIGO? Kendra: Who are you? Vespucci: Who am I? Who am I? I’ll tell you who. Through song. (“Sugar” karaoke plays) Vespucci: The names Vespucci, Amerigo. Once you say it, just say it and then you’ll know. That I founded, America. No, not Columbus, he thought it was India. I was born in 1451 I started sailing when I was young. And I am from Italy… Yeah, Florence. I- Kendra: I don’t even like this song. CiCi: What do you mean you don’t like this song? Kendra: I don’t know… I’m kinda more into rap, like Nicki Minaj. Vespucci: Who is Nicki Minaj? Kendra: Oh you know! The one with the Anacondas? Vespucci: Anacondas? Okay… well give me the “Nicki Minaj” beat CiCi. CiCi: Okay. (“Only” Nicki Minaj karaoke) Vespucci: Oh okay… I can handle this. Yo. I never stayed home, But I was home schooled. Not by dad, my uncle. I’m the 3rd son in my family who were close to the Medici’s. My first job, a mission, made me like exploration. Yeah, it was set up, by my uncle with fascination. Kendra: Wait a second. CiCi: Kendra!! Kendra: What? I just don’t understand what he’s saying. Who are the Medici’s and why does it matter that your family was so close to them? Vespucci: (sigh) They were the ruling family of Italy in the 1400’s to 1737. Kendra: Oh well look at you Mr. Popularity. Vespucci: Yeah, I only knew the most famous people of my time. No big deal. Kendra: Yeah now back to the song. Vespucci: Eh… I can’t really get back into the same feel I was just in. Do you happen to have any other request? CiCi: Oh yes please! Give me some country music. Kendra: Country?! Vespucci: Huh. Who would’ve thought. CiCi: What? Just because I’m black doesn’t mean I can’t love country. Vespucci: Fine, I’ll give you some country… play that beat. CiCi: Yes!!! (“Love Story” Taylor Swift) Kendra: Ugh ! You know Taylor Swift isn’t even considered a country singer anymore. CiCi: Yeah but her old songs are still country to me. Vespucci: Eh-hem. Thank you. I outfitted my own first voyage, Explored the North coast of S. America, to well beyond… the mouth of the amazon I gave the name to the “Gulf of Ganges” Made improvements on navigational techniques And that’s not all… I predicted the earth’s circumference to within 50 miles Kendra: Okay if your gonna sing…. Country (ew), then atleast sing it right. Vespucci: Oh I’m sorry do you think you can do better? Kendra: No but I’m learning nothing from this. Vespucci: Learning nothing? Have you not heard my lyrics? Kendra: Yes, I have actually. You said that you were homeschooled by your Uncle, you’re close to the royal Medici family in Italy, you were the one who said America was a new country instead of India, you’re the 3rd son in your family, you explored many places including the North coast of South America, (“Many hours later”) you gave the name to the Gulf of Ganges, made improvements on navigational techniques and predicted the earth’s circumference to within 50 miles. (deep breath) Wow I guess you did do a lot. You know Amerigo… you’re pretty cool. CiCi: Preach it. Vespucci: My work here is done. (Vespucci leaves) Kendra: Wait no!!! (pause) Kendra: CiCi, I was this close to getting his autograph. CiCi: No you weren’t. Kendra: Yes, I was! He’s so cool… no wonder he’s the most famous guy… CiCi: I know right. Kendra: CiCi, I wanna be him. CiCi: Okay… (End music video)
