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 corn with teeth around the bottom it looks like a like a teepee or a sort of 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 around the 1950's the lapels are about like th
At 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 s*x and everything twisting their ankle on behalf of a little ice cream corn well in this particular scene in this scene folks 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 can 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 back 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
The suits &the hats &the tie's too wide
And too short for the scientist man
The chemistry lady with the roll away mind
And the monster just ate japan
Ladies and gentlemen
The monster
Which the peasants in this area call frunobulax
Apparently a very large poodle dog
Has just been seen approaching the power plant
Bullets can't stop it
Rockets can't stop it
We may have to use nuclear force
Here comes that poodle dog
Big as a blimp with a rhinestone collar
Snappin' off the trees
Like they was bonsai'd ornaments on a
Dry wobble landscape
Keep it away don't let the poodle bite me
We can't let it reproduce oh
Somebody get out the pants
The national guard has formed up at the base
Of the mountain
And is attempting to lure the enormous poodle
Towards the cave
Where they hope to destroy it with napalm
A thousand of the troopers are now lined up
And are calling to the monster
Here fido
Here fido
Here fido
Got a great big slimey thing
Got a great big heavy thing
Got a great big poodle thing
Got a great big hairy thing
Repeat
C'mon everybody let's go
Get the distilled water get the canned goods
Get the toilet paper you know we need it
Go to da shelter
My baby my baby
Go to da shelter
Go to da shelter
Repeat
Little miss muffett on a squat by me
Can ya see the little string danglin' down
Makes the legs go wabble an' the mouth flop shut
An' the horrible eye horrible eye horrible eye
Go rollin' around
Can y'see it all
Can y'see it from here
Can y'laugh till yer weak on yer knees
If you can't I'm sorry 'cause that's
All I wanna know
I need a little more cheepnis please
Baby I'm sorry 'cause it's all I wanna know
I need a little more cheepnis please
Baby I'm sorry 'cause it's all I wanna know
I need a little more cheepnis please
Etc repeats
