FZ:
Now the sound that you hear in the background right now, is the sound
caused by George Duke, agitating two metal insignias. These are badges
that he removed from a coupla boogers that Marty tried to palm off on him
in the last town that we was in. Actually theyre booger pasties and he's
hitting the booger pasty with a little stick to get a very interesting
musical effect, you know he does this every night. And sometimes he
becomes so overwrought, so excited by the fact that he's actually touching
a piece of metal that might have at one time come in contact with the
actual flesh of a booger bear. And so sometimes he misses it.
George:
Oh, Lord have mercy . . .
FZ:
And he hits his thumb and he hurts hisself. Yes it hurts very much,
but he likes pain. We can tell that he likes pain because he's in this
group.
George:
But, but, its very close to other things . . .
FZ:
Yes but later that night after George was finished fondling the booger
pasty, a thought came to his mind, how, how can I possibly get any nook
tonight in (pasege ?) if I don't put this thing down and play the piano and
get funky for these people. And so George, as you say in your language,
took it away . . .
George:
But before we get funky, the continuing stories of . . .
Napoleon:
Moontrick . . .
George:
No, this aint moontrick this time, we go to moontrick next show.
This is the continuing stories of the boogers of Marty Perellis. Do you
all know who he is? There he is. Hes got a white shirt on an a . . .
FZ:
Your two-hunderd and fifty closest relatives, the Mothers of Invention
. . .
George:
Yes, anyway, he was in my room. I invited some people over. Young
ladies. They looked interesting. Their names shall go unmentioned.
FZ:
The reason they looked interesting is because they apparently were
intelligent enough to dress themselves.
George:
Anyway what was happening was . . . nothing. Ha ha, wasnt nothing
happening. So I said Lets get this party on the road. I said lemme call
the roadmanager. I said whats your name. Mighty Perellis come down here
and meet Miss Cool, Miss Dew & Miss eh, Miss Stool. So we, so Marty got in
there and he was there about five minutes and all of a sudden I began to
hear other things. I said what you doing over there? I said I never heard
nobody do that king of thing before. I said come out of that corner, whats
wrong with you, so he comissed it. We were all asking:
Men what youre
doing over there?
FZ:
Really whipping it, just whipping it into a frenzy.
George:
All of a sudden he was gone. I look around and Marty had took the
Booger out of his room. I said: Where you going? He went down to his room
which was room 33. An hour later I went to his room. I knocked on his
door. I said: What you doin? He said . . . I said: Say that again. I said:
Ho ho. It was late. We had an eight o clock wake up. You all know
what that is. Eight o clock wake up, eight o clock wake up, eight o clock
wake up, eight o clock wake up, eight o clock wake up, eight o clock wake
up ahrrrrrr.
So Marty came out in the hall and looked in the pool and he said, can I
say this? He said: Smell my beard. I said: You must be crazy.
Napoleon:
I had to smell it . . .
George:
Show, how ywas walking Marty. And he said:
Smell my beard. I said:
I aint gonna smell nothing. Napoleon said: Ill . . .
Napoleon:
Check it out, I told you, check it out, make sure . . .
George:
Anyway if you wanna hear . . .
Napoleon:
You know what it smell like . . .
FZ:
Marty's odor.
George:
Come to the next show for the continuing stories of
Napoleon:
Marty's odor
George:
Marty's trick. But for now we go to . . .
