Alright, we got the tenor sax, vocal group Piano, drums and guitar We're all set to make a hit rock & roll record Now let's hear it Hold it. Hold it! Something's missing A teenage idol man, You don't have a teenage idol Oh yeah, yeah wait here I'll get one Hey kid! Who me? Yeah, Can you sing? No Good. Come with me Say where were you going just now? I was on my way to high school Perfect. Now you stand up there in front of that Microphone and say 'high school' when I point at ya Kid you're gonna be a big record star! Oo-Oo Hey that's good too, throw that in. Now here we go High school-oo-oo High school-oo-oo High school High school High school Oo-oo Hеy wait a minute. What did you put that on the end for? Wеll it was just a little, you know, embellishment Oh yeah, You keep that up and the first thing you know This record'll swing. And then were will we be? Yeah Okay you guys, that's the first side Isn't that a kinda short song? Yeah, it gets more plays that way Oh I see... Oh by the way, What's your name? Clyde Ankle Perfect! But I can't sing What's that got to do with anything? You got all the requirements. A pretty face and a pompadour Well do I get to pose beside a tiger? Nah that's been done. Maybe we'll get you a moose Well maybe now I can have my adenoids taken out What, and ruin your amateur standing? Well could you at least get me a date with that Mouseketeer That's grown up Alright, we'll see Oh boy! Ah now, you're gonna go three nights a week For finger snapping lessons Oo I've wanted to do that for as long as I've Been in show biz Hey wait a second. How long have you been in show biz? About a minute and a half Oh. Now let's see if you can act humble in front of the press Okay. Oh I'll never replace Elvis... All right He's the king... All right, All right all ready! Don't over do it Hey how can we be sure the girls are gonna scream at me? Ah don't worry, will ya kid, I got a screaming machine right here Yeah? It replaces a teenage audience. We put it in the back of the Auditorium, push the button, panicsville. Here listen Will you get out of that drummer's lap Wow! Bent my cymbal man Now here's some variations Whoops, Wrong crowd Well let's do the other side of the record I'll turn on the machine here and there Uh-huh Yeah so you can, you know, get conditioned to it Yeah okay What am I gonna use for words on this side? Who cares. Say the first thing that comes into your head Okay. What are you gonna do with that sharp stick? Oh never mind what I'm gonna do with it. Just sing will ya Here we go Well I was on my way to high school When a guyyyyyyyyy came through the door. Woo And he said he was gonna make me a bigggggggg Record star I said I can't sing. Woo.

That's an insult to my integrity Your name is what? Barney Schlock, I got this little record company Uh-huh Obscurity Records It would be yeah Look I know the probe is on, but I got a record here That's got to happen. High School Oo Oo by Clyde Ankle How's about it baby, You wanna jump on it? Crazy, lay it on the floor Lay it on the floor... Ha ha... Hey that's pretty good, I got To remember that... Ha ha ha Ah shall we say fifty clams a week to ride it? Huh? I mean really ride it Man I wouldn't ride something called High School Oo Oo If it had a vicuna saddle Yeah but You got the wrong disc jockey and the wrong station Clyde Barney. Look if it gets in the Top 40 you'll have to play it Yeah? I'll play that jazz the day Ella sings the Fats Domino Song book Well I'd like to get your opinion... No... See what you think of it No man... Let's just listen to a little of it Don't let it touch my turntable man... Wait a minute... I just had Shearing on there man... Look it will only take a few seconds, listen Ah you didn't hear enough of it Too much, I heard too much! All right you'll see. The kids will eat it up They think that's good singin' Is it? Oh not really baby, but don't tell the kids I said so huh (Ha ha ha) Us little rock & roll labels got a good thing goin' We pay off a few guys in the key cities here Rig a few charts there, bingo a new hit parade And that's how rock & roll was born. (ha ha ha) Yeah I'm hip Look kid, If you don't want bread, what do you need? A little dental work, a trip to Vegas? Forget it! Pre 1959 cranberries? You're all heart Barney Heart?

Only on a rail Ah listen kid, payola's the only way a little record artist Can get off the ground Yeah? Did you ever hear of talent? No. Who does he record for? Look, nothing really good ever had to pay to get played Only junk. The majority of disc jockeys never played ball with You at any price. But that's all over now. You've been benched I have? And not a moment too soon. If your game had gone on Much longer, the kids would have forgotten what music Sounded like I've almost forgotten myself Not me. Can I show you to the door? No, I'll just slide out under it That figures Don't worry, I'll be glad to get out of the music business... You know what? You were never in it Stanley Yeah Billy Has he gone?
