MSTF 6: The Musical
The Annotated Script

Closing Skit and Credits

***************************************************************************
FINAL SKIT: WE LOVE AL
***************************************************************************

(Music played by Phil on keyboards begins... it's "The Touch" from the TF
Movie soundtrack. Sipher is ready to sing, and as the opening phrase comes
to an end...)

SIPHER: You've got the touaack *cough cough gag choke*

PHIL: Let's try something else.

(Phil plays a small piano intro and counts Sipher in.)

"ARMADA TOYLINE"

[A lyrical adaption of "American Pie" by Don McLean.]

VERSE 1: A long, long time ago
         I can still remember how
         I'd rush home and watch this show.
         I'd see the logo on the screen
         And I'd watch the battle go on between
         The good and evil robots trading blows.

         So through the years, I bought the toys,
         Even though they were just for "boys".
         And as I grew older,
         My purchases grew bolder.

         It's now been almost twenty years
         And yet I ignore all the jeers
         That come from non-collecting peers.
         As I still buy my toys.

         I
REFRAIN: Buy, buy this Armada toyline.
         Get those robots -- and some Go-Bots -- they will be all mine.
         And Happy Meal Toys; on french fries I will dine
         Saying "Any Transformer is fine; any Transformer is fine."


VERSE 2: After G1, beasts were the craze
         Some people called them a stupid phase;
         They were stuck in G1 times.
         "Hasbro's wants to just make a buck
         "Prime's no MUNKY -- he's a TRUKK!"
         They screamed out their loud complains and whines

         I ignored them after a while
         Because the show did make me smile
         The best part, I confess,
         Was Megatron's "No" and "Yesssssssssssssss"

         He was slick right from the start
         Dinobot showed lots of heart
         And Waspy was always blown apart
         And I bought all their toys.

         Yet now I
REFRAIN: Buy, buy this Armada toyline.
         Get those robots -- and some Go-Bots -- they will be all mine.
         And Happy Meal Toys; on french fries I will dine
         Saying "Any Transformer is fine; any Transformer is fine."


VERSE 3: After the beasts had run their course
         We got vehicles in force
         I got a sense of deja vu.
         It was the 'Bots versus the 'Cons --
         Hadn't this already been done?
         As G1 or even G2?

         The cartoon seemed to be a bore;
         Canon was shoved right out the door.
         Yet there was one bright spark
         In a goofy, singing shark.

         "Who's the baddest shark around?
         "Who's the smartest shark in town?"
         Sky-Byte never made me frown
         And yes, I have his toy.

         But now I
REFRAIN: Buy, buy this Armada toyline.
         Get those robots -- and some Go-Bots -- they will be all mine.
         And Happy Meal Toys; on french fries I will dine
         Saying "Any Transformer is fine; any Transformer is fine."


(Tempo slows down again.)

VERSE 4: As I look back through all the lines
         I'm reminded of the horrific time
         Back in 1986.
         I saw them all on the big screen,
         Then Unicron came on the scene
         And chewed them up like they were little sticks.

         In their seats, the children screamed.
         All that death -- they never dreamed
         That they'd watch all that croakin'
         And good old Prime was broken.

         So the robot I admired most --
         He died after Megsy's boast.
         But he'd be back like Starscream's ghost
         As a new robot toy.

         So now I
REFRAIN: Buy, buy this Armada toyline.
         Get those robots -- and some Go-Bots -- they will be all mine.
         And Happy Meal Toys; on french fries I will dine
         Saying "Any Transformer is fine; any Transformer is fine."

[Sipher points out the words on the piece of paper, indicating for the
audience to follow along.]

ALL: EVERYBODY SING!

         I buy, buy this Armada toyline.
         Get those robots -- and some Go-Bots -- they will be all mine.
         And Happy Meal Toys; on french fries I will dine
         Saying "Any Transformer is fine."

[Again, Doug and Sipher switched off doing lead vocals.  It went off
rather well, especially considering the first time the three of them had
tried singing the words was during the performance itself.  The MSTF
prides itself on keeping rehearsal time to a minimum.  Well, maybe not
pride, but it certainly seems to be a habit....]
