(next during the jimmy carl black philosophy lesson we learn that if you wanna get laid after the show, you gotta play rock n roll music an drink beer -- you're not gonna get laid anyway with those uniforms on! he announces his intention to quit the mothers, planning to make his way into the audience in order to hustle some young ladies. it was my unfortunate duty to remind him that here in london, your'e not gonna get any pussy unless you like a pop star --. the make-up team dresses him up to look like a cross between donovan and jimi hendrix. with a bottle of beer (double diamond) in each hand he charges into the audience.)

At this very moment jimmy carl black the indian of the group is approaching the stage. jimmy carl likes to drink and also likes to boogie all night long and is also horny. approaches underwood in his transformed state at the piano and ask him this all important question:
Jimmy carl:
