Don Interrupts - Frank Zappa

Bunk: Hey, put that down!

Art: What are you doin', man?

Don: SILENCE, you fools!

Don’t you believe in PROGRESS?

Bunk: Take that progress and stick it under a ROCK

Don: We must overthrow the diatonic system

Art: Bullshit

Don: We’re coming to the beginning of a NEW ERA wherein the development of the

inner self will be the most important factor

Ian: Donnie, your music is full of shit, and besides that it ain’t disciplined

Don: Listen…

Bunk: Give me four-four

Art: Togetherness

Bunk: Yeah

Ian: Some old melodies

Don: Look, playing…

Art: Put on a tie!

Don: Playing that kind of music and eating meat will never… you’ll never be

able to see my aura then

Art: I’ve seen your aura a lot, and it really stinks

Bunk: You’ve been drinking, Don

Ian: I can hear your aura and it’s bad, man

Don: Listen, there are many strange things that science doesn’t know

Art: Fuck it

Ian: Play any more…

Bunk: Discipline, you need discipline

Don: No…

Bunk: Four-four

Don: It’s got to be new, it’s got to progress, it’s got to evolve.

THERE MUST BE GROWTH!

Bunk: Ah, man.

My goodness…

Don: You’ve got to eat macrobiotic food

(FZ: We’re doing a play.)

Don: And study astrology.

Delve into the occult world

Ian: Well you can delve all you want but we’re formin' a new group…

go, go and do you some yoga exercises

Don: Look…

Ian: Take care of business there

Don: Mark my words… If you continue playing this music something strange may

happen

Bunk: Don’t threaten me…

Don: By the end of the first show… No, the second show

FZ: So, at this point in the development of our plot the three talented members

of the Mothers of Invention have quit the group to form their own band with a

lot of discipline

Art: Yeah

FZ: This is what we need, it’s a nice disciplined combo!

FZ: And so that they would be completely packaged and fit in with the rest of

the disciplined combo, the former members of the Mothers of Invention receive

their initiation into the robot musical world

Don: This makes me nervous, I’m gonna go do some yoga

Ian: Yeah, you’d better

FZ: Meanwhile, Dom DeWild, under pressure, prepares to unwind with some healthy

yoga exercises

FZ: This is Euclid Motorhead Sherwood

Motorhead: What’s the matter with him?

Ian: He’s nervous 'cause he couldn’t play with our new group

Motorhead: Oh, that’s nice, look at all those suits

FZ: Motorhead covets the uniforms of the other band.

And also shows some

interest in the bum of Underwood

Ian: Ayyyy!

Motorhead: Hey, ten years ago I knew a lot of guys that had suits like these.

They’re really nice.

Hey, can I play in the band and get a suit like that too?

Ian: No!

Motorhead: But I like the suits and I can play good.

I can play…

I can play anything

Ensemble: BOO!

BOO!

BOO!

FZ: Motorhead is lying.

He can’t play good, he can’t play anything.

He’s trying to con his way into the other band.

He knows they don’t want him

Bunk: I heard you play before

Motorhead: But I got practicing and play good

Ian: No discipline

FZ: He’s lying.

He hasn’t been practicing, he doesn’t do shit

Bunk: Ask me, you couldn’t even count to four

Art: Come on, beat it, man

Motorhead: You can’t do that to me, I’ll fix you

Art: Go ahead

Motorhead: I’ll get into your band.

I’ll get into your band

Bunk: Okay Motorhead, just get out of the way

Motorhead: You can’t stop me, I’ll get in there somehow

Ian: Take a walk, you fruit

Motorhead: There’s no way you can stop me, I bet ya!

FZ: Motorhead explains to the members of the Robot Combo that nothing can stop

him, he will join their group whether they like it or not
