| IS THIS PHASE 2 OF: WE’RE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY?
|
| [Spider Barbour] The way I see it, Barry, this should be a very dynamite show!
|
| [Spider Barbour] Bit of nostalgia for the old folks!
|
|
|
| [Gilly Townley] I’m advocating dark clothes
|
| [Becky Wentworth] If I’m not alone… How long have I been asleep?
|
| [Gilly Townley] As long as I have
|
| [Maxine] Did you ever live in a drum?
|
| [Becky Wentworth] No
|
| [Maxine] Well, then you aren’t me
|
| [Gilly Townley] I only dreamt I lived in a drum. Ever since it got dark. Dreaming is hard.
|
| [Susan Kelly] Yea, but with nothing over your head?
|
| [Gilly Townley] No, just light, over my head. And underneath too.
|
| [Susan Kelly] I don’t think I could take it without anything over my head
|
| [Maxine] Mm-mmh, me neither
|
| [Becky Wentworth] Well, why don’t you go out and see what’s out there?
|
| [Gilly Townley] Well, I don’t know if that’s what’s out there
|
| [Maxine] Now that’s a thought
|
| [Gilly Townley] Yes…
|
| [Maxine] If you’d like…
|
| [Gilly Townley] But STILL you can say darker and darker. I don’t know what the outside of this thing looks like at all.
|
| [Spider Barbour?] I do. It’s dark and murky.
|
| [John Kilgore] How do you get your… your water so dark?
|
| [Spider Barbour?] ‘Cause I’m paranoid. I’m very paranoid. And the water in my washing machine turns dark out of sympathy.
|
| [John Kilgore] Out of sympathy?
|
| [?] Yes
|
| [John Kilgore] Uh… Where can I get that?
|
| [Spider Barbour?] At your local drugstore
|
| [John Kilgore] How much?
|
| [Jim Sherwood] Almost Chinese, huh?
|
| [?] Yeah!
|
| [Jim Sherwood] Good bread, because I was making uh… $2.71 an hour ▲
|
| [Jim Sherwood] I keep switching girls all the time, because if I’m able to find a girl with really a groovy car that ain’t build up, man, I’ll go steady with her for a while until I’d build up her car and blow out the engine!
|
| [Jim Sherwood] I worked in a… cheesy newspaper company for a while but that was terrible, I wasn’t making enough money to build anything.
|
| LOUIE LOUIE
|
| [Jim Sherwood] And then I worked in a PRINTING COMPANY and… a COUPLA GAS STATIONS. Oh, at the GAS STATION where I was working, my brother just got married, and uh… he bought a new car and his wife was having a kid and all this miserable stuff, and he needed a job so I gave him a job at the GAS STATION of which I was FIRED because, you know, he was gonna work there. And he had his car on the rack and he was lubing and changing tires and everything all the time. And so they GOT FIRED because he was GOOFING OFF, man, and he just… kept taking parts and working on his car day and night.
|
| And so he lost that job and he went to work in another GAS STATION. He took that one, you know, so he could feed the kids and that. And I went to work in an aircraft company, and uh… I was building THESE PLANES. I worked on the XB-70, I was the last welder on there.
|
| Yeah, but it was pretty good BREAD, because I was making uh… $2.71 AN HOUR. I was making a hundred and a quarter A WEEK, and uh… yeah, it was good enough money to be WORKING ON, so I got an OLDSMOBILE, a groovy Olds. But I was going with this CHICK AT THAT TIME. By the time I got the Olds running DECENTLY, she went out and tore up the engine, and the trans, and a… her and a girlfriend they get in there and booze it up and tear up the seats. Just ripped the seats completely out. So uh… I got a ‘56 Olds, which was this one chick’s I was going with, and uh… we used to drive out all over the place and finally she got rid of that, and uh… I got another pickup.

|
|
|
| Oh man, I don’t know if I can go through this again!
|
|
|
| [Instrumental]
|
| [Ronnie Williams] BUH-BAH-BAHDN
|
| [Spider Barbour] Oh!
|
| [John Kilgore] There it went again
|
| [Spider Barbour] It’s a little pig with wings
|
| [Pig with wings] EE
|
| [Gross Man] I hear you’ve been having trouble with PIGS AND PONIES!
|
|
|
| [Cal Schenkel, on the left] To… just the opposite… going around to the other direction
|
|
|
| [Cal Schenkel, on the right] How ‘bout us? Don’t we get any?
|
| [Gail Zappa] We don’t get any…
|
| [Cal Schenkel] That’s very distraughtening
|
| [Gail Zappa] We don’t get any because we’re otherwise
|
|
|
| [Spider Barbour] Everything in the universe is… is… is made of one element, which is a note, a single note. Atoms are really vibrations, you know, which are extensions of the BIG NOTE, everything’s one note. Everything, even the ponies. The note, however, is the ultimate power, but see, the pigs don’t know that, the ponies don’t know that. Right?
|
| [Monica Boscia] You mean just we know that?
|
| [Spider Barbour] Right!
|
|
|
| [Instrumental]
|
|
|
| [Spider Barbour] “Merry-go-round! Merry-go-round! Do-do-do-do do-do-do do-do-do”
|
| And they called that “doing their thing”
|
| [John Kilgore] Oh yeah, THAT’S WHAT “doing your thing” is
|
| [Spider Barbour] The thing is to put a motor in yourself
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Grrr. Arf arf arf ar-ar-ar-ar-ar. Teeth out there, and ready to attack ‘em. I had to fight back and hit ‘em, like, you know, hit ‘em and hit ‘em and hit ‘em, and… kick ‘em and kick ‘em and…
|
| [Roy Estrada] Did they get on top of you?
|
| [Louis Cuneo] No, I fought so back, hard back, and, it was…
|
| [Roy Estrada] Hard back?
|
| [Louis Cuneo] White!
|
| [Roy Estrada] White?
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Yeah, white ugliness
|
| [Roy Estrada] Did it have teeth?
|
| [Louis Cuneo] And it was two… it was two boogey-men that were on the side and, we were already blocked the entrance, so I had to… I had to kick, I had to fight to f-four or five boogey-men in front of me
|
| [Roy Estrada] Then but maybe he can turn into… I wonder if he could maybe be […] PFFT!
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Yes, extremely vicious
|
| [Roy Estrada] I don’t know, those po— I heard those ponies are really vicious!
|
| [Louis Cuneo] I know but… I know they’re vicious, but they…
|
| [Roy Estrada] Their claws!
|
| [Louis Cuneo] He d-d—… He doesn’t have to be able to do it
|
| [Roy Estrada] They get on top of you, and they just tear you apart
|
| [Louis Cuneo] I know
|
| [Roy Estrada] Tee—
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Scars over here, see, scars right here. Yeah.
|
| [Roy Estrada] Teeth to limb! Teeth to limb! I mean, toe to ta— man, I hope they don’t get him.
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Ponies! I-i-If-If… If… is…
|
| [Roy Estrada] Was it white? Are you sure it wasn’t w-white, I mean uh… black, or…
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Well, I think they’re white, but I was too scared to notice their physical…
|
| [Roy Estrada] Gold or something?
|
| [Louis Cuneo] I was too… I was too scared to no— n-no— uh-no— uh-notice their physical, a— appearance, ‘cause they… they… they were attackin’ me!
|
| [Roy Estrada] They were?
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Yeah, they were… they were attackin’ me!
|
| [Roy Estrada] What were they doin’ to you?
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Well, they were… they were like… they were… comin’ and surroundin’ me an’ everything else, and they were attackin’ me and I had to fight back, fight, fight and fight back and pick up sticks
|
| [Roy Estrada] Pick-up sticks?
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Yes, pick-up sticks, you know?
|
| [Roy Estrada] I used to play that game, pick-up sticks
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Me too, did you ever play that game?
|
| [Roy Estrada] Yeah!
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Yes! That’s funny! HA HA HA!
|
| [Roy Estrada] Anyway, come back to the horse… back to the horse? To the pony.
|
| [Louis Cuneo] HA HA HA HA! Now…
|
| [Roy Estrada] Anyway
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Yes, pony, or…
|
| [Roy Estrada] President
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Or Pope, I dunno, uh, I dunno
|
| [Roy Estrada] I don’t know
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Something down there is dangerous
|
| [Roy Estrada] Could be a cigar or somethin’
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Yeah…
|
| [Roy Estrada] A cigar?
|
| [Louis Cuneo] A cigar? Naw, you’re insane, come on!
|
| [Roy Estrada] Nohhh, no. I remember when I was a… No, I don’t remember. Those were the days!
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Boy, you must spend all your life down here!
|
| [Roy Estrada] That was before the days of those horses
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Yes, before the days of the… all the… ow-uh… ponies or boogey-men or somethin’, what’s out there
|
| [Roy Estrada] But then there was a… What was it then? No pimples?
|
| [Louis Cuneo] No, I never did
|
| [Roy Estrada] Sure!
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Positively
|
| [Roy Estrada] You had to have ‘em
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Naw, naw
|
| [Roy Estrada] You’ve got one right in your nose right now!
|
| [Louis Cuneo] HA HA HA HA! Scrtch-ch-ch! Scratchin’ them.
|
| [Roy Estrada] Boy, I’m gettin’ tired, man. We should go…
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Oh yes
|
| [Roy Estrada] We should go to sleep
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Oh yeah
|
| [Roy Estrada] I just hope he comes back
|
| [Louis Cuneo] Yes, listen!
|
| [Roy Estrada] I think I’ll pray ▶ for him
|
| [Louis Cuneo] I think I’ll join you
|
| [Roy Estrada] You do yours and I’ll do mine
|
| [Louis Cuneo] OK, HA HA HA HA!
|
| [Roy Estrada] And we’ll hope for the best ▶, HEH HEH HEH!
|
| [Louis Cuneo] HA HA HA HA HA, I’ll pray for […] Motorhead
|
| [Roy Estrada] Now I lay me down to sleep
|
| [Ronnie Williams] Oh yeah! That’s just fine! Come on boys! Just one more time!
|
|
|
| [Spider Barbour] I think I can explain about… about how the pigs’ music works
|
| [Monica Boscia] Well, this should be interesting
|
| [Spider Barbour] Remember that they make music with a very DENSE LIGHT
|
| And remember about the smoke standing still and how they… they really get uptight when you try to move the smoke, right?
|
| [Monica Boscia] Right
|
| [John Kilgore] Yeah?
|
| [Spider Barbour] I think the music in that DENSE LIGHT is probably what makes the smoke stand still.
|
| Any sort of motion has this effect on… on the ponies’ manes. You know, the thing on their neck.
|
| [John Kilgore] Hmm
|
| [Spider Barbour] As soon as the pony’s mane starts to get good in the back any sort of motion, especially of smoke or gas, begins to make the ends split.
|
| [John Kilgore] That’s the basis of all their nationalism. Like if they can’t salute the smoke every morning when they get up!
|
| [Spider Barbour] Yeah, it’s a vicious circle. You got it!
|
| [Instrumental]
|
|
|
| [Jim Sherwood] Drums are too noisy, an’ you’ve got no corners to hide in!
|
|
|
| [John Kilgore] So when she’s beating him over the nose with a tire iron, and then we both jump away and disappear, and the pig will turn around and there’ll be this pony!
|
| [Instrumental]
|
|
|
| [Cal Schenkel] ‘Cause round things are… are boring
