The Perfect Cut (Good as Gold) |
| Oh my gosh! |
| What a coincidence |
| This happens to be in style |
| (Perfect cut) |
| (No wonder it works so well) |
| They don’t understand the fragmentation |
| They could be still making a lot of records and a lot of money for the record |
| companies in 1992, that’s what we’ve been talking about, who is going to be |
| (Number one) |
| Another, who will be around |
| (Number one) |
| Seven years from now |
| (Number one, number one, number one…) |
| The top vote-getter, Forbes, to be a superstar in 1992 is Bruce Springsteen, |
| they feel he’ll be around and not burn out |
| Prince, following close behind, although some people wonder whether he will |
| maybe get a win and decide not to be in the record business |
| Michael Jackson was still the third top vote-getter to be around with us in 1992 |
| (Dean Martin) Lionel Richie is fourth |
| (KISS) U2, fifth |
| (Olivia Newton-John) Brian Adams, followed by |
| (Pink Floyd) Talking Heads |
| (Police) Sting |
| (Eurythmics) Eurythmics |
| (Eurythmics, Eurythmics…) |
| You know who I mean, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, ZZ Top, Dire Straits, |
| Phil Collins, Wham, Lone Justice, David Bowie, John Lennon, and Madonna |
| (Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, ZZ Top, Michael Sembello, Phil Collins, Wham, |
| Van Halen,) |
| Well, it’s become a very big business and they’re a small company, Sue, |
| that’s fragmented, but I think that, yes, it’s a very big business, listen: |
| I got permanently pressed hangups over you |
| Whatcha doin, old-timer? |
| Singin', can’t you tell? |
| But you’re only interested in gold! |
| That’s why I’m singin', goin' after a gold record! |
| Try Nucoa Margagine |
| How’s it go? |
| Nucoa’s good as gold, for very little silver |
| It’ll never sell |
| Sure will! |
| Nucoa tastes like butter and costs less than the other fancy |
| margarines |
| Nice tune, but you can’t dance to that |
| (Fragmentation, fragmentation, fragmentation…) |
| They don’t understand the fragmentation |
| The record industry alone is twelve billion dollars a year worldwide, |
| and America gets five billion of that |
| (Perfect cut, perfect cut, perfect cut…) |
| Another perfect cut |
| (Standardization, standardization, standardization…) |
| (Repeated umpteen times before) |
| (repeated umpteen times before) |
| (Repeated umpteen times before…) |
| I mean, it’s big, big business |
| I mean, it’s big, big business |
