Bit: Music from Some Guys in Space
Episode: 303- Pod People
[SOL]
(Joel is standing by huge array of
keyboards, Crow enters, holding sandwich)
Joel: Oh, hiya, Crow...
Crow: Oh hi,
whatcha doing?
Joel: Oh, we were
just inspired by the cool New Age music of this movie, so we
decided to use the Wall O' Keyboards to make our own great
new New Age music, you wanna help?
Crow: Sure, uh,
what can I do?
Joel: Well, I
could teach you how to play the keyboards
Crow: Will it
take long?
Joel: No, of
course not, come on over here. Here, check this out, okay,
put your hand over here.
Crow: Okay.
Joel: Put your
finger down, see?
Crow: Like that?
(puts finger on a random key, a single note is heard)
Oh!
Joel: Yeah,
you're playing a New Age chord now, okay? Just like Yanni.
Alright now, put another finger down.
Crow: Okay.
(presses another random key, a second note plays with first
one, and persists throughout the rest of the scene)
Joel: See, now
you're playing a Yanni lick, now hold it down for an
hour...
Crow: Yeah?
Joel: Now hold it
down...until you get a record contract from Wyndham
Hill!
Crow: OH, hey
cool! Servo, check it out, it's my new New Age Yanni lick!
Uh, Joel, hold down my new New Age Yanni lick, I gotta put
my sandwich down.
Joel: Okay, got
it. (holds it)
Crow: This
music's kind of dull, isn't it?
Joel: Yeah, but
it's a good way to make a lot of money without a big initial
investment. (lights dim, "music" swells, Cambot zooms in on
Tom Servo)
Tom:
(clears throat loudly) Okay...
(in laid back DJ voice) And now, "Music From Some Guys In
Space." Tonight on "Music From Some Guys In Space," more
fine new New Age music and sounds from super-progressive Bay
Area New Age keyboardist, Joel Robinson. Joel will be
accompanied on the Wall O' Keyboards by veteran minimalist
Crow T. Robot. We invite you to sit back and enjoy more
repetitive New Age music, as we cruise the spaceways. Come
along, fellow travelers, and enjoy "Music...From...Some
Guys...In Space.
(Movie sign lights and claxons begin, we
can see that Crow has fallen asleep)
Joel: Hey, we got movie sign, you guys!
Tom
(Shatner voice):
It's...Movie Sign...next time...on...Emergency 911! A
duck...with an arrow through it's neck...
Joel: Tom, you're
stuck in Shatner mode! Come on, snap out of it! Crow, wake
up!
(all scream, head into theater)
(cut)
