Hey Mr. Drummer
(Instrumental section of "Hey Hey Bad News" playing. Music stops, sound of tape rewinding.) Vim: Hello, Colin? Colin: I was going "ba-da-da"! Vim: Hello, can you hear me? Colin: Yes, I can hear you, I was going "ba-da-da", I... Vim: It was going very... you weren't going "ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da, bang, bang, ba-da-da..." Colin: Yes I WAS going "ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da, bang, bang." The first time I went "rumpty dumpty", yes, but the second time I went "ba-da-da" like a fury! Vim: Well... Colin: And I've got a jolly stiff arm! We've been through this one and a half times, you must have enough to put on your silly record! Alright, we'll do it once more. Ba-da-da, ba- da-da, flipping... Vim: We're gonna drop you in for the ba-da-da's, right? Colin: I'd like to drop YOU in, RIGHT at the ba-da-da's. Den: What's bubble bath got to do with it? (Music starts again, stops and rewinds.) Colin: Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot it. Vim: Colin? Colin: (sighs) Yes. Vim: You missed the fuckin' "Duh-duh-duh-duh". Colin: Yes, I know. I realised that at the time, and I said I'm sorry. Vim: Yeah... you've missed it a few times now... Colin: Well, I dropped it in earlier, couldn't we use that one? Vim: No, you weren't playing aggressively enough. In fact, as you continue to play, your aggression seems to disappear. Colin: That's because my arm gets tired. I've never had to move my arm up and down so many times in my life. Vim: Now, is that true, Colin? (Music starts again, stops and rewinds.) Colin: SORRY! I'm sorry, I didn't go "ba-da-da". Vim: Colin? Colin: Yes. Vim: You still there? Colin: Unfortunately, yes. Vim: Er... You know that really fucking moronic bass run you do? Colin: Which one? Vim: It goes "ba-da-da-da ba-da-da-da duh duh duh duh"... Colin: Yeessss... Vim: Do you think you could liven up a bit? Give it a bit more? What I mean is... Den: Spunk. Vim: ...you can slide off the end of those notes... Colin: With the spunk? Vim: ...the second and the fourth one... Den: Spunk, yeah. Slide off the end with the spunk. Vim: No, no, no, stop listening to the spunky stuff. It goes, "da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da DUUHHH! Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da DUUUHHHH!" And you can slide your finger down the fretboard. Colin: Yeah, but I've got a cut. Vim: (sighs) Can you use another finger? Colin: Well, I'll try, but it might mean using a different string.
