[NARRATOR, spoken]
You go girls...
[CALLIOPE, spoken]
We are the muses
Goddesses of the arts
And proclaimers of heroes
[TERPSICHORE, spoken]
Heroes like Hercules
[THALIA, spoken]
Honey you mean Hunk-ules!
Woohoo, I'd like to make some sweet music—
[CALLIOPE, spoken]
Our story actually begins long before Hercules
Many eons ago

And smooth as sweet vermouth
Although, honey, it may seem imposs'ble
That's the gospel truth
