((It's music! It's this music, in fact. And it plays, happily, to its conclusion. And then, in burst the dulcet and retro Radio Voice tones of Laszlo Jamf, Professor of Rock, Doctor of Jive:))
That one never gets old, does it?
Hey there all you cats and kittens out there in the City! It's a hot one today, but don't worry: summer won't last forever. Or maybe you should worry! Get out there and chase those bronzed beach boys of the summer, because there's only one summer when you're seventeen. So keep it hot while it's hot! You know I know your libidinous Id urges.
But you gotta remember: it's gonna be back to school before you know it. So you'd better take a listen!
((And he proceeds to play this particular record. And for the record (no, the other kind), he's singing along in his office there, yes. It spins out to a stop and he pipes up again.))
I hope you're all taking notes, because there's gonna be a short quiz once school's back in session!
Oh, that came over like a thunderstorm on a summer day, didn't it? Well, one more back-to-school track from this cool cat who knows a thing about banging on the ivories and we'll get back to the party. The Doctor of Jive promises on his many degrees from the School of Cool. All right:
((All of which is followed up with this record. Really, it's true: base 8 is just like base 10...if you're missing two fingers.))
That's some tunes for all you eggheads out there. I saw you out there dancing with that cute lab assistant. You can get it away with it this time, you crazy kids. Just don't dance when you've got a tube of nitro glycerin in your hand and we'll be all right. Everything's gonna be all right.
When those kids sing about "she loves you," yeah, well, she does, and she's any number of people, all over the world, back through time, different colors, sizes, ages, shapes, species, distances from death, but she loves. And the "you" is everybody. And herself. The human voice, you know, is a total miracle.
Now I'm gonna take it back, way back, back to the Doctor of Jive's Old School! Heads up on this one, all you ladles and jellyspoons, because it's gonna be a wild one! Don't worry and hang on and just remember that what goes up must come down. And what shape does it make when it does? Well, the Doctor of Jive knows you're smart enough to figure that one out.
((From there, the Network is treated to this particular recording. It's getting a bit deep at this point, so many cross-references and meta-layers. I'm sure we can all handle it, though. Now, everyone sing together!))
It may be old school, but it never gets old. It's too bad you're probably all too young to get that one. Or you're too old. Either way, you're not just the right age to catch all the jokes in there. But trust me, as someone who gets it, it's hilarious.
Okay, okay, okay, that's enough of that! And we're waiting for a live report from the streets of the City where a new dance craze seems to be making waves. And once KCUF's own "Rabbit" Warren and Wendell "Mucho" Maas get the Mobile 2 tower up and beaming, we'll hear all about it. You just sit tight while we get those wires running. The miracle of radio, invisible airwaves crackle with life, whistle with the energy. Emotional feedback on timeless wavelengths, bearing a gift beyond price, almost free.
Whoa, man, that's enough of my riffing!
Coming up next, here's a new one, the latest and greatest, fresh off the presses, never been spun before, for all the hep cats. Because I'm not a Jive-Ass Mother Fucker for nothing:
((Which all leads into this particular track... And the song continues until its end...))

[ooc: Nah, he's not cursed. He's a deity. So he's just trolling. So much cross-canon Pynchonian insanity that I don't think I can even (which is why I did this). Tom Lehrer, for those who want to know, was a clever little songwriter in the early 1960s, full of puns and snark and wonderment. V. delicious. Please be so kind as to ignore the bad videos and enjoy the good ones ;;]
