  It's one of the most exciting things that's ever happened to me
  You know, every time I think about how lucky I am to be in the rock & 
roll industry, it's SO exciting. You know, when I first got into the 
rock & roll business I could barely even play the changes to this song 
on my, on my guitar. But now I'm very proficient at it, I can play the 
guitar, I can strum it rhythmically, I can sing along with my guitar as 
I strum. I can strum, sing, dance, I can make merry fun all over the 
stage. And you know, it's so wonderful to . . . It's wonderful to feel 
that I'm doing something for the kids, because I know that the kids and 
their music are where it's at. The youth of America today is so 
wonderful . . . And I'm proud to be a part of this gigantic mass 
reception. I hope she sees me twirling, yes . . . I hope she sees me 
dancing and twirling, I will say: "Hello, darling!"
  Is the song over?

  FZ? on the right:
  Boy, this is really exciting, making a rock & roll record. I can't 
even wait until our record comes out and the teen-agers start to buy 
it. We'll all be rich and famous! When my royalty check comes I think 
I'm going to buy a Mustang. No, I think I'll . . . I think I'll get a 
Corvette. No, I think I'll get a Harley Davidson. No, I don't think 
I'll buy any of those cars. I think what I will do is I will buy a 
boat. No, I won't do that either. I think, ah, I'll go into real 
estate. I think I would like to . . . I think I'd like to buy La 
Cienega Boulevard. No, that wouldn't do any good. Gee, I wonder if they 
can see me up here, twirling my tambourine and dancing . . .
  Maybe after the show one of the girls who sees me up here, singing and 
twirling my tambourine and dancing, will like me. And she will come 
over to me and I will walk . . . I will walk up to her and I will smile 
at her and I will impress her and I will say: "Hello, baby, what's a 
girl like you doing in a place like this? I'm from a rock & roll band, 
I think we should . . . "
  Is the song over?

  Center mumbling:
  Ay, ay!
  Mingia!
  When do we get paid for this?
  Ay, ay!
  Stop sloppy rock & roll
  Slop sloppy . . .
  One more time!
  Un . . .
  Stop sloppy rock & roll
  Bop bop bop!
  YEAH! WHEEE!
