(What's it called?) "Cheepnis"
Let me tell you something, do you like monster movies? Anybody?
I love monster movies, I simply adore monster movies
And the cheaper they are, the better they are
And cheapness in the case of a monster movie has nothing to do
With the budget of the film, although it helps
But true cheapness is exemplified by visible nylon strings
Attached to the jaw of a giant spider
I'll tell you, a good one that I saw one time,
I think the name of the film was "It Conquered the World"
And the-- did you ever see that one?
The monster looks sort of like an inverted ice-cream cone
With teeth around the bottom
It looks like a, like a teepee
Or sort of a rounded off pup-tent affair
And, uh, it's got fangs on the base of it, I don't know why
But it's a very threatening sight, and then he's got a frown
And, you know, ugly mouth and everything
And there's this one scene where the, uh,
Monster is coming out of a cave, see?
There's always a scene where they come out of a cave
At least once, and the rest of the cast
It musta been made around the 1950's
The lapels are about like that wide
The ties are about that wide and about this short
And they always have a little revolver
That they're gonna shoot the monster with
And there is always a girl who falls down and twists her ankle
Heh-hey! Of course there is! You know how they are
The weaker sex and everything, twisting their ankle
On behalf of the little ice-cream cone
Well in this particular scene, in this scene, folks,
They, uh, they didn't wanna re-take it
'Cause it musta been so good they wanted to keep it, but they
When the monster came out of the cave
Just over on the left hand side of the screen
You can see about this much two-by-four
Attached to the bottom of the thing
As the guy is pushing it out
And then obviously off-camera somebody's goin'
"No! Get it back!"
And they drag it back just a little bit as the guy is goin'
"Kch! Kch!"
Now that's cheapness, alright.
And this is "Cheepnis" here
One two three four . .
