Our interviewee is being asked to guess what the singer might be like:
Ouais ça pourrait être un petit cabaret. Un petit cabaret, simple, juste une guitare à côté. Moi je ne sais pas ce qu’il y a comme instrument dedans, j’ai pas fait attention à ça. Du bois au niveau de la décoration, mais vraiment un truc simple, pas les gros clichés, je sais pas une voiture ou quelque chose comme ça, on s’en fou un peu quoi.
Bois ? clichés ? He doesn't care, but I have to translate this stuff. Are there any pop-conscious teenagers out there who can do my translation for me?

French term (edited):
bois ? clich�s ?
woodwork - cliché or "stuff"
If it is all about an imagined small cabaret, woodwork deals with the decoration ( unless he means wood instruments - unlikely -).
Cliché stays as it is. Unless it sounds too highbrow in a teenager's mouth!

French term (edited):
bois ? clich�s ?
just wood for the background, but something really simple, none of that over-the-top stuff
I think it's just talking about a wooden stage or background scenery
and that they're not laying the scenery/special effects too thick

Simple wooden decor/nothing conventional cornball
The tone is very casual and a bit flippant, so I would try to maintain that.
