Robin Williams' eco-rap from the movie Fern Gully! Deep thoughts on:
- Animal Testing
- Ad-Libbing as an art form
PETA Y'ALL!
Let me tell you a story and it's all about...(ZAP!)
Yo, the name is Batty, the logic is erratic
Potato in a jacket, toys in the attic
I rock and I ramble, my brain is scrambled
Rap like an animal but I'm a mammal
All of our cosmetics are non-carcinogenic!
I been brain-fried, electrified, 'fected and injectified
Vivisectified and fed pesticide
My face is all cut up, Cause my radar's all shut up
Nurse, I need a check-up from the neck up
I'm Batty!
It seems to have no effect, Doctor...
Get me another one. Get me another animal!
They used and abused me
Battered and bruised me
Red wires green wires stuck em' right through me!
So hear my Batty word, And exercise a little prudence
When dealing with humans
(Disjointed)
Phone call for Mister Darwin! Phone call!
If all the graduate students would please move closer...
Scalpel...More nitrous oxide Thomas...
The Eye makeup, when inserted rectally, has some effect...
Remove the brain cap...
If you notice, by dipping the bat in a series of paints...
After 600 packs of cigarettes, the animals
Seem to exhibit some carcinogenic tendencies...
Mister... white courtesy phone!
I said ORALLY!
Oh god, I'm reading by my genitals!
I don't care what you think, you're a graduate student! Just do it!
Insert the elec...you're losing him!
All of our cosmetics are non-carcinogenic!
Get me another one! Get me ANOTHER ANIMAL!
Look professor, they dance up and down, just like Elvis!
Fine...if you could just put him...strap him down, if he moves, medicate him
Medicate him!
MEDICATE HIM!
MEDICATE MEEEEEE!
It seems to have no effect, doctor
Thank you nurse...why don't you ever call me?
As you see, the animals don't really feel pain...
THEY JUST GET USED TO IT!
Cause I'm a real fruit bat and I'm ready to rap
I'm ready to snap
I suffer from sciatica and chapped lips
And jock itch!
Like a rocket in my pocket and a need to scratch, Ah!
But now I can't stop it
I'm Batty (Batty, Batty)...I'm Batty (Batty Batty)...
I'm a real fruit bat and my logic is erratic
I'm Batty (Batty, Batty)...I'm Batty (Batty Batty)...
It's my Batty rap!
Shave his head, you idiot, it's just an ANIMAL!
My Batty rap!
Just take a little off the side that'll be...OW!
My Batty rap!
Who's Batty?
Moi
