The Funky Seventies

[Crow]
Heh heh. A song about the 70s, huh? Groovy!

[Servo]
Yeah, it's always been my favorite decade.

[Mike]
Cool! Rock it, you turkey!

[Bots]
All right.

[Crow]
Yeah!

[Servo]
Back in the funky 70s
The party didn't ever stop—ow!
The city of Pompeii was doing all right
But Vesuvius blew her top

[Crow]
Huh?

[Servo]
Wowow! Back in the super bad 70s
the Roman Empire still reigned supreme
Emperor Titus came to power
and he finished up the Colosseum

[Crow]
Uh, Servo?

[Servo]
Back in the funkadelic...

[Mike]
Tom, can I just unplug you here?

[Servo]
..70s, the Egyptian week was... the Egyptian week was...Who turned off my wall of sound?

[Mike]
Well, that was me actually. I think we had a little miscommunication here.

[Servo]
You said you wanted to hear my song about the 70s.

[Crow]
Well, we thought you meant the 1970's! You know, the decade of today's movie?

[Servo]
Well that's absurd. I distinctly heard the 70s, period.

[Mike]
Yeah, but you know, usually when people say the 70s, they don't me 70 A.D. to 79 A.D., they mean the 1970s.

[Crow]
The 1970s!

[Servo]
Well, how can people just assume that? I mean, why don't they just get off their lazy butts and say "1970s"? I mean, I don't know shinola about the stupid 1970's. Dumb stupid era.

[Mike]
It's just a kind of short hand, I can't explain it. Why don't you just play one of your other songs?

[Servo]
Oh, all right. Here's a little song I penned about the 50s.

Do you remember the 50s,
when Emperor Claudius died?
The apostle Paul traveled to Greece and....

[Crow]
Uh, Servo?

[Servo]
Oh no, not again.

[Crow]
Yep.

[Servo]
What is wrong with people? How can they be so sloppy? I mean, why don't we just throw out the damn, stupid calendar If no one's going to use it? I mean geez, a bunch of ninies and feebs. Morons, morons, all of you, man!

[Mike]
We'll be right back. I can't explain it, it's just the way people talk.
