... the Top 10 Reasons to Hope for a Tijuana Brass revival!!!"
"Paul, you know those guys, don't you?"
"Oh yeah... very nice boys."
(Dave cackles) "I'm sure they are... now they were one of the big instrumental groups of uh-- the sixties, right?
"Yeah. The sixties"
"Oh, like **you** remember the sixties... Well, you know what I heard about them..."
"What's that?"
(Dave leans into the desk mike and lowers his voice) "Can't remember any of the words."
(Paul laughs) "Ah--"
"Yeah-- so see, it's a good thing the instrumental thing worked out for 'em..."
"Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, and I mean that in the nicest way, here **are** "The Top 10 Reasons to Hope for a Tijuana Brass Revival..."
(Drum roll)
Number 10 : Supermarket's copy of "Whipped Cream" almost worn out.
Number 9: Those Baja Marimba punks getting pretty cocky lately.
Number 8: Nostalgic atmosphere of music reminds you of Mexico... without the sex, drinking and fun.
Number 7: Increased airplay sure to spur a 2003 revival of " The Dating Game".
Number 6: Three words: cuando, cuando, cuando!
Number 5: Makers of Spanish Fly promised not to sue this time.
Number 4: "Tijuana Taxi" and "A Taste of Honey" no longer just titles of porno films.
Number 3: Herb's dad tired of them rehearsing in the garage.
Number 2: "Lonely Bull" fertility clinics just not working out.
(final drum roll)
...And the Number One Reason to Hope for a Tijuana Brass revival:
"The retro shop will only hold 15 ruffled shirts 'til Friday!!"
(Paul and the band kick off a happenin' version of "Spanish Flea")
"We'll be right back, folks...."
(music to fade)
