I think I entered this into the skit comp a few months ago. Just wondering what people thought.
INT. NIGHT. MUSIC SHOW.
PRESENTER NICK STACK IS INTRODUCING HIS GUESTS.
NICK:
Today is indeed a rare and unique occasion as for the first time in over twenty years we have with us now all members of prog-rock legends, the masters of the mysterious, not just sex symbols but sex gods even though you would never think it to look at them now, the one and only; The Moon King!
They, of course need no introduction but I'm going to give you one anyway.
PAN TO EACH INDIVIDUAL MEMBER AS HE IS INTRODUCED.
NICK:
Lead singer, band leader, leader of men, lover of women, the mysterious and charismatic frontman Keith Weltron;
Original drummer who claimed to have tiny drum-kits in each ear and one in his nostril, sex symbol Tony Losant. Just to clarify I made a joke there. When I call him a sex symbol I'm actually saying 'cymbal' as in the drumming instrument, because he is a drummer you see.
(Sniggers to himself)
NICK(CNTD):
Back up drummer and all round sexy man Gary Yeast.
GARY APPEARS FROM BEHIND TONY.
Bass legend who could play notes so low it would set girls shins and other things all a-quiver, karma sutra aficionado Pete Carson;
The axe-man who also played lead guitar, known for his amazing and unique solos one of which lasted 9 days and not all were guitar solos either if you know what I mean. The late great Mitch Anderson!
MITCH WAVES HIS HAND IN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
NICK:
Now we have a special treat for you tonight. We are going to have a detailed interview with the band before they play a couple of their classics including Stingraven, There Go My Legs, Cat Chestnut and The Time That Land Forgot, but first let me give you a brief history of the band.
Formed in 1965 they found it difficult to settle on a name. Originally known as Fair Fairy, then Care Beary, Care Scary, The Machine, Notes to Earth, The Boys Who Fell from Earth, The Boys Who Never Fell, Moon Not Earth, Call of the Startlers, The Startlers and King Startle before finally settling on The Moon King in 1968.
In just three years they had found their name. Now all they had to do was write songs and record them.
The bands first three albums all entered the top ten but by late '71 cracks were beginning to form in the front room of Keith Weltrons house. When none of the other members offered to help him fix it, Weltron grew disillusioned with the band and by May '72 he had left to forge a solo career.
Two years later that was no more after he split up with himself.
Gary Yeast became a backing drummer after Tony Losant went cymbal-blind due to an overdose of tin. Sharing an on-stage stool, Yeast would hit the cymbals that Losant couldn't see.
In '74 Mitch Anderson attempted to leave the band for the second time forgetting that he had already left it three months before.
This just left bassist Pete Carson remaining in the original band. The other four members reformed as a new band and asked Carson to join but they had no name and had to disband.
THE BAND ARE NOW ALL SET UP AT THEIR INSTRUMENTS. GARY YEAST IS SITTING ON TONY LOSANT'S LAP BEHIND THE DRUMS. BOTH MEN ARE HOLDING A PAIR OF DRUMSTICKS.
NICK (EXCITEDLY):
And so without further ado it's-it's finally time for the one and only...it's...our time is up!
CREDITS BEGIN TO ROLL.
THE BAND IS FURIOUS AND LEAVES THE STAGE OMINOUSLY APPROACHING THE PRESENTER.
NICK:
Give it up one more time for The Moon Kin-
THE BAND ALL JUMP ON HIM AND HE DISAPPEARS BELOW THE CAMERA.
HE REAPPEARS, BEDRAGGLED WITH HANDS CLASPED AROUND HIS NECK.
NICK:
Goodniiii-
HE SALUTES THE CAMERA AND IS AGAIN DRAGGED FORCEFULLY DOWNWARDS.
END.
