The man first appears, his makeup being an exaggeration of Joe Jackson's style. The pantomime following is also suggestive of Jackson, though there appears no attempt to follow the former's routine. While the man mimes, a peachy girl rides in on a bicycle and after several laps around the stage exists. She returns bringing out another bike for the man, who, when he gets to it, performs clever feats, mostly while pedalling backwards. The girl changing costume and looking better than ever then offers a short routine, which, too, includes good work. The act's finish is very weak, otherwise it might have scored. But it's good enough for pop as it is, with the girl's appearance counting.
