what is he saing?

Hi guys,

I've been listening to this youtube video about Muse's song:


I believe he is talking in common British English from 6:45 to 6:56, but for me it is not recognizable at all.

I am interested in what he is saying there and if it is normal to speak like this :-) Because it stresses me a bit that I don't understand a word.

This is what I understand (it is nonsense of course):
"Do is jonny guide little? I think we're going to.. seven stars...initial".

Thank you very much! It's good to hear that it is difficult even for a native speaker :-)

I've heard it 50 times and this is the best I could reconstruct with your help:

do you enjoy a guide at all? ... just a ...

/or/

do you join a guide that off? ... just a ...

/and then/

Either, I think we're going probably seventy's(?) style here...do you k
