Not Fade Away Page #2

And when our record comes out,

he's got to be available

to go on tour.

England, whatever.

Anyway, I need someone

to back me up on vocal.

When we f*** around making fun

of those songs on the radio,

you sound pretty good.

Isn't Wells going to sing?

He sucks, man.

He's got a putrid voice.

Don't tell Wells I said that

about his voice.

You know what's interesting?

How Charlie Watts beefed up

the Bo Diddley on Not Fade Away.

Like...

He brought it front and center like

in Bo Diddley itself

rather than Buddy Holly.

Two chords. And no changes.

It's like percussion.

# Bo Diddley bought his babe

a diamond ring

# If that diamond ring don't shine

# He gonna take it to a private eye

# If that private eye can't see

# He'd better not take the ring from me

# Mojo come to my house,

ya black cat bone

# Take my baby away from home

# Up in that fo' door, where you been?

# Up your house and gone again

# Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley,

have you heard?

# My pretty baby said

she wasn't for it

We sat around for

two damn months

waiting for that battle of Anzio.

See, them Jerrys, they had us

pinned down with those 88's.

You're such a retarded driver.

That lieutenant in Italy, he told us,

he said,

"Any of you colored troopers

"tamper with these

local women,

"you gonna be hung

on the spot."

I must have got the clap

from all that clapping I was doing

when the generals passed by

in their command car.

Anyway, you're going away

to college next week.

You wanna make sure you

keep your dick powdered.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Earth people!

This is what I pay that goddamn

college $2,000 a year for.

There's people with

longer hair than me.

Fags.

Look at the coat.

Looks like he just got off

the boat at Ellis Island.

What?

He kills himself down at

that store six days a week,

plus Friday till 9:00,

with that psoriasis.

And this is what you do?

I will play just the one song.

Leave 'em wanting more.

One second!

Dial.

Ivory.

Colgate Palmolive.

What does that mean?

I left my roach clip at Oberlin.

What's a roach clip?

F*** the roach clip. Here.

Watch how we do things

at Steinholz Academy.

Get creative.

Come on in there! I got to go!

Flush it down the john!

Our futures could be ruined!

Waste not, want not.

Come on! Whoever's in there!

Don't get so uptight, man.

Come on, already!

This is so unfair.

What do you mean,

he went home?

The popular girls only came here

to see the band.

We can't do the song

without our lead singer.

I should have just

listened to Dave Smith.

He said he wanted

to bring his band over.

They do all John Lennon.

I'm into advanced time

signatures, 5/4, 6/8...

Will you just play the song?
