Chapter 10- Crazy Little Thing Called Love
The song finished and Scaramouche re-entered through the door rather gingerly unsure what they would think. "Da Dah!" at that point all the Bohemians cheered and even a few whistled at her new found look, she had gone with a red and black corset with a red leather skirt and some red boots, then she had added some lace type stuff to her arm. Meat stepped up to her smiling
"You look great, Hen!"
"No I don't"
"You do, totally rock and roll" the Bohemians cheered again and Galileo stepped up, for some reason Scara was waiting to find out what he thought which was strange as she never cared what people thought about her before.
"That's right Scaramouche. You do look totally rock and roll… but what is Rock 'n' Roll?" this seemed to have triggered at Big Macca
"What is Rock and Roll? What is Rock and Roll!" Britney stepped up before Paul had a fit
"Gazza Baby, Rock 'n' Roll is anything you want it to be".
"It's sex"
"It's style"
"It's rebellion"
"It's freedom" this didn't actually seem to satisfy Gaz for long
"Yes, but what actually is it?" this seemed to shock Big Macca I bit, he probably thought that would be all Gaz needed to know but he still had more to say.
"We don't know. All we know is that somehow there came a day when rock and roll died. But we have always believed in time there would arise a man who carried the past within him"
"A man who could remember"
"Yes thank you, Charlotte Frigging Church. The Fab One is talking. Somewhere on Planet Mall there are instruments. There must be. If Britney is right, you are the man who will find them". That got Galileo's attention
"Me? I don't even know what they look like!" Brit stepped up
"I do, look I've been working on this for months, can't play it though. Fortunately Lulu can" Brit reached behind a wall and pulled out what looked like a broom handle with strings pulled across it. Lulu pulled one of the strings which made a very loud, slightly horrible noise
"Mmmm mm. Sweet sweet noise" Britney closed his eyes and Lulu started plucking the strings again but this time faster and it sounds better. The Bohemians started stamping and hitting anything they could get a hold of to make noise and it actually started sounding good, they carried on while Brit talked to Gaz "and then all you need is your baby, because you see, Galileo, these days what passes for music is created only for money, which is why it has no soul. But when Rock 'n' Roll began you know why they did it?"
"Why?"
"They did it for their babies of course. They did it for a crazy little thing called love" and at this Britney and Meat started singing, Galileo and Scaramouche were coaxed into it as well by all the Bohemians but it was clearly a love song and even more clearly between Brit and Meat.
Brit:
This thing called love I just can't handle it
Meat:
This thing called love I must get round to it
Brit:
I ain't ready
Both:
Crazy little thing called love
Meat:
This thing (this thing)
Called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby)
In a cradle all night
Brit:
It swings (woo woo)
It jives (woo woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish
Both:
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love
Brit:
There goes my baby
She knows how to rock 'n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
She leaves me in a cool cool sweat
Oh yeah
I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitchhike
Take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love
Galileo:
I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my tracks
Scaramouche:
Take a back seat
Galileo:
Hitchhike
Scaramouche:
And take a long ride on my motorbike
All:
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love
This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Oh yeah!
"Oh yeah indeed!"
