Thank you. Brian, I could use a little bit more monitor. Hello, hello. Can't you turn it up any more than that? Hello, hello. Hey!
All right.
Pardon me, folks. The name of this song is "Penguin In Bondage," and it's a song that, ahuh, deals with the possible variations on a basic theme which is—well, you understand what a the basic theme is—and then the variations include, ahuh, manoeuvres that might be executed with the aid of, ahuh, extraterrestrial gratification and devices which might or might not be supplied in a local department store, or perhaps a drugstore, but at very least in one of those fancy new shops that they advertise in the back pages of the Free Press.
This song suggests to the suggestible listener that the ordinary procedure, ahuh, that I amI'm circumlocuting at this present time in order to get this text on television, is that, ahuh, if you wanna do something other than what you thought you were gonna do when you first took your clothes off, and you just happened to have some devices around . . . then it's— it's not only okay to get into the paraphernalia of it all, but . . . hey!
What did he do you say? Ready?
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh . . .

Just like the mighty Penguin
Flappin' her eight ounce wings
(The Penguin Flap)
Lord, you know it's all over
If she come atcha on the strut & and wrap 'em all around yer head
Flappin' her eight ounce wings, flappinumm
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Shake up the pale-dry
Ginger ale
Tremblin' like a Penguin
When the battery fail
Lord, you must be havin' her jumpin' through a hoopa real fire
With some Kleenex wrapped around a coat-hang wire
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh . . .
Rennenhenninnahenninneninahenn
Howlin' over to some
Antarcticulated moon
In the frostbite nite
With her flaps gone white
Shriekin' as she spot the hoop across the room

Lord, You know it must be a Penguin bound down
When If you hear that terrible screamin'
And there ain't no other birds around
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy

At one time that used to be a big place for raising turkeys. And, I— uh, I went to high school in Lancaster. which is not far from, uh, from, uh, Palm— Oh! Is it very good for other things out there now? Good.
Audience member: Can't hear your vocals.

FZ:
Ladies and gentlemen,
Watch Ruth!
All through this film
Ruth has been thinking,
"What can I possibly do
That will amaze everyone?"
I think she's come up with the answer,
Just keep your eye on her . . .
FZ: Thank you!
Audience Member: What's it called?
FZ: "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 cheepnis cheapness in the case of a monster movie has nothing to do with the budget of the film—although it helps. But true cheepnis 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 corn cone with teeth around the bottom. It looks It's like a (phew!), like a teepee or a . . . sort of a rounded off pup tent affair. And, ahuh, 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 ah, 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 must have been made around the 1950's—the lapels are about like that wide, the ties are about that wide and they're 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.
Hey Heh-hey! Of course there is! You know how they are—the weaker sex and everything, twisting their ankle on behalf of a the little ice-cream corncone. Well, in this particular scene—in this scene, folks, they ah, uh, they didn't wanna re-take it 'cause it musta must have 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 cheepnischeapness. RightAwright?
And this is "Cheepnis" here. One, two, three, four . . .

WE CAN'T LET IT REPRODUCE! OH!
SOMEBODY GET OUT THE PANTS!
The National Guard has formed up at the base of the mountain and is attempting to lure the enormous poodle towards the cave, where they hope to destroy it with napalm. A thousand of the troopers are now lined up and are calling to the monster . . .

There's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
There's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
Wednesday I watched the riot
I seen the cops out on the street
I watched 'em them throwin' rocks and stuff
And chokin' in the heat
I listened to reports
A'Bout the whisky passin' around
I seen the smoke and fire
And the market burnin' down
I watched while everybody
On his street would take a turn
To stomp and smash and bash and crash
And slash and bust and burn
And I'm a-watchin' and I'm a-waitin'
But I'm hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin' that oh, yeah, yeah . . .

FZ: Some of you may know that the tango—which is not a very popular dance anymore—was at one time reputed to be a dance of unbridled passion. Back in the old days when it wasn't so easy to get your rocks off, when it was hard to make contact with a member of the opposite camp, and you had to resort to things like dancing close together and going, hey . . .
Those were the days. Well, those days are probably gone forever—I don't know, unless Nixon is going to bring them back a little bit later—but we have this very special highly evolved permutated tango. It's actually a perverted tango. By the time— Heh heh. Yes, it's so perverted! This is the "Be-Bop Tango," a special entertainment event that includes choreography a little bit later, so watch out, folks.
You can turn on the big lights, we may need 'em. You know, the ones in the audience. Heh heh heh. Okay, 're you ready? Not too fast now 'cause I wanna get the right notes on the tape, 'n and this, this has to be the one. This has to be the one with all the right notes on in it. Okay, 're you ready? And this is a hard one to play.
One, two, three, four . . .
The cowbell as a symbol of unbridled passion, ladies and gentlemen.
Now, as you might have noticed, Bruce Fowler has just completed some sort of trombone solo, based on the uh, idea of an evolved tango-event. Bruce has also prepared for you a demonstration of a dance that he hopes will sweep the ocean, right after the Mud Shark did. Bruce is now warming up the important muscles of the body, in preparation— in preparation for the Real Live Be-Bop Tango, which we're gonna demonstrate. Napoleon will assist him.
Napoleon: Wait a minute now . . .
FZ: Napoleon, just put your horn down, just relax, put your head back, here comes the drill. Okay, heh heh hehhah hah hah, you know what I'm talkin' about? Okay.
This is sort of like jazz in it's its own peculiar way.
Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny.
Okay, let's go!
George: Yeah, man. Jazz, man, you know what I mean?
This is Be-Bop,
Even though you think it doesn't sound like that
(Be-Bop . . . ! That's no Be-Bop!)
FZ: Now, as you might have noticed, some of you with a musical education can tell that the notes that George just sang when he went, "This is Be-Bop, even though you think it doesn't sound like that," is it's actually a sort of a twisted form of the theme of the tango itself which will get de— even more depraved as the number goes on. George will now attempt to dismember that melody, play it and sing it at the same time while—
Tu-dupPe-dop!
Hey, that's the way—while we sort of dance to it, okay? Try it, George . . .
Tu-dup, tu-dee . . . Pe-do-do-dum-deh-dum-deh do-do-deh-dum-deh

George: . . . Oh, yeah! . . . As I was saying.
FZ: Now, what we'd like to do at this point is get some volunteers from the audience to— I know you will, oh God, you will. We need some— Heh heh heh—Now, as a matter of fact you did, didn't you? No, we wanna have some people who've never tried it before, who've never even thought of trying it before. A boy, a girl, preferably who like each other, who would like to come up here and attempt to dance to what George sings.
George:
Pe-dop
Do we have anybody who iswho's . . . ?
FZ: You're one. Okay, what's your name?

Ladies and gentlemen, you're probably sitting in your chairs, saying to yourselves, "I could do that!" And of course you can! And now is your big chance. All you have to do—the first step is easy, all you gotta do is stand up. Go ahead, just stand up. There you go, you are standing up. Yes, some of you are not standing up, but you won't have as much fun as the ones who are standing up. Okay, turn on the big lights so everybody can see what's going on. Yes, very many of you are standing up. Okay, link your mind with the mind of George Duke!
George:
