Cheepnis
Let me tell you something, do you like monster movies?
Anybody?
(yeah!)
I love monster movies, I simply adore monster movies, and the cheaper they are, the better they are. And cheepnis in the case of a monster movie has nothing to do with the budget of the film, although it helps. But true cheepnis is exemplified by visible nylon strings attached to the jaw of a giant spider. I'll tell you, a good one that I saw one time, I think the name of the film was "It Conquered The World" (yeah!) And the... Did you ever see that one? The monster looks sort of like an inverted ice-cream cone with teeth around the bottom. it looks like a, like a teepee or a rounded off pup-tent affair. And ah, it's got fangs on the base of it, I don't know why but it's a very threatening sight. And then he's got a frown and, you know, ugly mouth and everything, and there's this one scene where the ah monster is coming out of a cave. See? There's always a scene where they come out of a cave, at least once. And the rest of the cast... It musta been made arond 1950's. The lapels are about like that wide, the ties are about that wide and about this short, and they always have a little revolver that they're gonna shoot the monster with. And there is always a girl who falls down and twists her ankle. Hey hey! of course there is! You know how they are, the weaker sex and everything, Twisting their ankle on behalf of a little ice-cream cone. Well in this particular scene, in this scene, they ah, they didn't wanna re-take it 'cause it musta been so good they wanted to keep it, but they... When the monster came out of the cave, just over on the left hand side of the screen you see about this much two-by-four attached to the bottom of the thing as the guy is pushing it out, and then obviously off-camera somebody's goin': "no! get it back!" ... And they drag it just a little bit as the guy is goin': "kch! kch!" Now that's cheepnis!
Right. And this is cheepnis here: one two three four...
I ate a hot dog
It tasted real good
Then I watched a movie
From Hollywood
(repeat)
Little miss muffett on a squat by me
Took a turn around, I said: can y'all see?
The little strings on the giant spider? "
The zipper from the black lagoon?
The vents by the tanks where the bubbles go up?
(And the flaps on the side of the moon)
The jelly & paint on the 40 watt bulb
They use when the slime droozle off
The rumples & the wrinkles in the cardboard rock
And the canvas of the cave is too soft
