Well folks, here's the deal
We're making a movie
There's a camera up there, there's a camera up there
There's a camera right here, there's a camera back there
There's lights all over this place, yeah, it's all make-believe
That's right, there's no film in the cameras, we're just pretending, see?
So you just relax, and if the lights happen to go on on you
Just pretend there's no film in the camera
Because we may have you do something amusing later
Ah, we didn't get a chance to make one of those fantastic glorious entrances you know they have in Hollywood
But I wanted to introduce all the members of the group to you
So, let's do that right now
This is Bruce Fowler on trombone
Napoleon Murphy Brock on tenor sax
Ruth Underwood on percussion
Ralph Humphrey on drums
Chester Thompson on drums
Tom Fowler on bass
And George Duke on keyboards
Alright
Now, what'll we play now? Hmm...
No, we wanna play, we have some new songs that we'd like to play for you, I'm just gonna...
Uh, okay, here's, here's a group of three of them
The first one is called "Pygmy Twylyte"
It's a song about chemical alterations and the corruption of youth
Hi, Elmer
Expert in the corruption of youth
And then after the, ah, song about the corruption of youth
We have "The Idiot Bastard Son," which is a song about, you know what it's about
Alright
And then after, ah, "Idiot Bastard Son" we have another new song, it's about monster movies
It's called "A Little More Cheepnis Please"
Okay?
As a matter of fact, maybe I should tell you in detail what's happening in "A Little More Cheepnis"
'Cause the words go by pretty fast, but ah, some of you may be fond of monster movies, I am
I watch 'em all the time on television
I think they're, the cheaper they are, the better they are
And, ah, the golden age of the science fiction movie was the '50s
When they're in black and white and you can see the caves bending when they hit the caves
And whenever the giant spider came out, you could see the strings
And you could see the, the fake, the pump for the drool coming out of the thing, you know
That to me, ladies and gentlemen, is great art
I get off on that stuff
So, really, it's shit but it's great art
And then, uh, if you, if you get off on that stuff too, then maybe you can dig that song better
Anyway, here is "Pygmy Twylyte"
Everybody get in the groove
Oh, give me the tempo from the, the beeper
You don't where it is? Aha
Alright, let's guess
See if this sounds right
That about it? A little faster?
One, two, three, four
