We's got a deep playlist full of songs and dances, and we's gonna pull 'em out.

A team participating in song and dance contest, someone from the team saying that. Does he means take off the others teams?

Thanks in advance,

Does he want to get rid of of them or replace them with modern ones? I think , he wants to practise enjoying the modern

Imagine a box, or a file cabinet, full of songs We're going to reach down into that box and pull out things we haven't done for a long time, or that we set aside for later. That's the metaphor--reaching down into deep storage and pulling good things out.

"Pull 'em out" > pull them out. No, it does not mean "take off the other teams". It means that their repertoire of songs and dances is great (many). The team is now going to try new songs and dances from their vast playlist never before performed in public, hence "pull 'em out". I don't know how else to explain it!

We's got a deep playlist full of songs and dances, and we's gonna pull 'em out, yo! ***And I have the new song and dance I wish to perform . ALL: [HESITANTLY] Yeah We talked about this, remember, Star? Yes. You said I was the secret weapon and I would be used as the last resort. Uh, that's right, Star. As a last resort. [CLEARS THROAT] Because we don't want to unleash those moves on the world unless we have to.***

take out of storage (on the playlist)

as Jane says in discussion

They have a ("deep" =long) playlist of songs, some of which perhaps haven't been performed in some time so now they (the team) are going to look at that playlist (like into a deep storage box) AND PULL/TAKE some of the songs OUT to play them
