-
- In the not-too-distant future--
- Next Sunday, A.D.--
- There was a guy named Joel,
- Not too different than you or me.
- He worked in a satellite loading bay,
- Just polishing switches to pay his way;
- He did his job well with a cheerful face,
- But his bosses didn't like him
- So they shot him into space.
-
- We'll send him cheesy movies,
- The worst ever made.
- Joel says when you got lemons,
- You make lemonade.
- Now keep in mind he can't control
- When the movies begin or end,
- Because he used the extra parts
- To make his robot friends.
-
- Robot roll-call--
- Cambot
- Servo
- Gypsy
- Crow!
-
- If you're wondering how he eats and breathes
- And other science facts,
- Just repeat to yourself it's just a show,
- I should really just relax
- For Mystery Science Theater 3000.

- The first "E" is for--uh, well, I don't really know. But the second "E" is
- really a grammatical thing 'cause otherwise it would be "Crepy Girl," and
- where would that leave us? The "P" is definitely not for "platonic." And

-
- [In Deep 13:]
-
- FRANK: Hey, it wasn't my fault that we showed that Phantom Creep at the end.
- Dr. Forrester calls all the shots around here. If you ask me, that chauffeur
- had the right idea. As a matter of fact, I prepared a little number:
-
- [Spotlight on Frank who gets out of cardboard limo and dons chauffeur hat and
- white gloves. Dr. Forrester "sits" in back of limo reading paper.]
-
- FRANK: If chauffeurs ruled the world--
- it's what I'd like to see
- 'cause everyone in the world
- would take a back seat to me.
- I wouldn't have to drive--
- I wouldn't have to steer--
- 'cause all would bow down before me
- in total abject fear.
- All the gorgeous dames
- would worship at my feet!
- Why--I could have any one of them I want!
- Even Meryl Steep!
- I'd have complete respect
- of everyone on the planet
- including intellectuals,
- even Daved Mamet.
-
- [Frank dusts off cardboard car and Dr. Forrester who gets angry at this.]

- [snorts with tears]
- No, not me.
-
- DR. FORRESTER: Push the button, Judy Garland. [Frank sobs with tears.] Push

- FEINSTEIN: Anyway, he got his start getting cigarettes to Agnus Demille, if
- you can believe that.
-
- FRANK: Oh, ho, ho!
-
- FEINSTEIN: But, anyway, back to my original story which was that I think Oscar
- Hammerstein spent *TWO WEEKS* up at his Bucks County farm writing the lyrics to
- "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning." And he labored over it and he turns it over
- to Dick Rogers who sits down and promptly--in ten minutes, mind you--writes
- the melody. And I don't have to tell you two gentlemen that American musical
- theater was never quite the same thing.
-
- FRANK: What a *WONDERFUL* story!
-
- DR. FORRESTER: Uh, tell us that story about Cole Porter again.
-
- FRANK: Oh, please do!
-
- FEINSTEIN: Should I? Really? Okay. Well, Cole Porter, in, during his horse-
- riding accident, well, he was laying in the middle of the woods with his legs
- crushed, yelling for help, he decided to write "The Long Last Love."
-
- FRANK: Oh, no!
-
- FEINSTEIN: That's a true story, but what a lot of people don't know is that
- the lyrics were altered for its Broadway opening, yes. And the original
- lyrics went something like this:
-
- [Plays a haunting tune.]
-
- Very tender.
-
- [Pounds on piano.]
-
- Oh my God! I'm in so much pain! Somebody please help me! Somebody come and
- save me!
-
- FRANK: What an *ENCHANTING* anecdote!
-
- DR. FORRESTER: They don't write them like that anymore, do they?
-
- FEINSTEIN: They certainly do not.
-
- DR. FORRESTER: How does the Gamera theme songs stack up against songs from
- yesteryear?
-
- FEINSTEIN: Oh, it's interesting you should ask that because the opening lyric
- of the Gamera theme song has sort of a Rogers and Hart feel to it. Let me
- show you what I mean.
-
