"The Funky 70s" and "The 50s"
(from Episode 814 - Riding with Death)

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

Tom: Yeah, it's always been my favorite decade.

Mike: Cool! Rock it, you turkey!

Crow and Tom: All right.

Crow: Yeah

Tom:
(singing) Back in the funky 70s--ow!
the party didn't ever stop--ow!
The city of Pompeii was doing all right
but Vesuvius blew her top.

Crow: (spoken, baffled) Huh?

Tom: (still singing) Wowow! Back in the super bad 70s
the Roman Empire still reigned supreme.
Emperor Titus came to power
and he finished up the Colosseum.

Mike: (catching on, stopping him) Tom...Tom.

Tom: (still trying to sing) Wowow!

Crow: Uh, Servo?

Tom: (still trying) Back in the funkadelic...

Mike: (unplugs Servo) Tom, can I just unplug you here?

(music cuts out)

Tom: (still going) ..70s, the Egyptian week was...(spoken) 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.

Tom: 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?

Tom: 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!

Tom:
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?

Tom: Oh, all right. (music comes in again) Here's a little song I penned about the 50s.
(singing in falsetto) Do you remember the 50s,
when Emperor Claudius died? (Mike and Crow do a slow burn)
The apostle Paul traveled to Greece and....

Crow: Uh, Servo? (Servo stops)

Tom: (spoken) Oh no, not again.

Crow: Yep.

Mike: Yeah, I'm afraid so.

Tom: (angry) 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. (to Cambot) Morons, morons, all of you, man!

Mike: We'll be right back. I can't explain it, it's just the way people talk. (cut to commercial sign)
