Iha: How are ya? Thank you! You're a very kind crowd and we're glad you could make it out here tonight to rock. And now, I know your eyes are all over here to stage left. A special guest ladies and gentlemen, tonight only! All the way from Milwaukee, of the Frogs, ladies and gentlemen, Jimmy Frog! Jimmy Frog. You don't know his purpose yet, but it is a great purpose that he carries tonight. On the keyboards, his brother of the Frogs, Dennis Frog! Yes, and the keyboards did sound crazy tonight on Tonight, Tonight. I thought I was losing my mind. And now, the moment you've been waiting for, on the drums, Matt Cosmo Walker! The only man, the only man who could possibly beat Holyfield, right there behind the drum riser. Thank you. And now, we wish to carry on the rest of the ceremonies. Come on, let's get to the fun part and keep the show rolling! Clockwork, we got a goddamn plane to catch tonight. We're off to London tonight, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna go play for the Prince of Wales.
Corgan: Yes, prepare to be shocked, prepare to be horrified, yes it's that part of the show where we invite people up on stage to dance.
Iha: Yes! Yes, we will embrance every rock cliche known to man.
Corgan: Yes. So, Jimmy shall choose the dancers. Who wants to dance with Jimmy Frog?
improv
Iha: Alright. We have our dancers. Corgan: Now that the selection process is almost complete, let's take a moment to meet our dancers. Who are you, and where are you from?
Fan #1: My name is Rebecca Moss and I was born in Durham and I go to Duke, sorry.
Corgan: Duke? Did she say Duke? Isn't that the college that people go to when they can't into North Carolina University? I think so. And I do believe North Carolina has more national championship titled to their credit, so let's not forget about that. OK, sorry, who are you and where are you from?
Fan #2: John Snyder, I'm from Rutherton North Carolina.
Corgan: The birthplace of Orville Redenbacher. I know who you are, but where are you from? I don't give a fuck that it's your birthday, I don't give two fucks that it's your birthday? It's my birthday, you know what, it's my birthday every day, that's what I say.
Iha: Yeah! What do you think of that?
Corgan: In fact it's Darcy's birthday and it's James' birthday.
Iha: And it's Ross Hafland's birthday!
Corgan: Who are you and where the fuck are you from?
Fan #3: Raleigh, and I am Susan.
Corgan: Well, alright. 'Scuse me. Where are you from?
Fan #4: Greenville North Carolina, and I'm Alison.
Fan #5: Durham North Carolina, I'm Susanne.
Fan #6: Catherine and I am not from Raleigh.
Fan #7: Charlotte!
Iha: Alright, we have our dancers. The process may be flawed in selecting them, so we can only carry on with the show. Um, now, let's have this put a bad sign over the show...
Corgan: Rules, we forgot the rules. Tell 'em the rules.
Iha: Oh yes, we have two rules for all our dancers, gracious dancers on stage, that would be number one don't touch us, number two, don't touch our shit. Okay. Alright, and for those of you who cannot join us on stage, perhaps if you've been to college, taken a philosophy course, adult education is a wonderful thing, you could dance in your mind. Yes, that's correct, dance in your mind. Or, dance freely amongst the seats that you have.
1979
Corgan: Thank you dancers!
Iha: Alright, now we will continue with the rock show. Sorry if that was shocking.
Corgan: We hope that everyone has had a good time tonight. As we move into a new era, we're happy to provide you with safe, wholesome, quality family-style entertainment. The dancing is just the beginning. We send this next song out to all the moms and dads out there, because if it wasn't for them, the world would not be full of snotty children.
Iha: Yes, good point.
Corgan: Like ourselves, thank you very much. James, would you like to introduce this next song?
Iha: This next song is called eh why you.
X.Y.U.
