The Funky Seventies

Lyrics

[Crow] Heh heh. A song about the 70s, huh? Groovy! [Servo] Yeah, it's always been my favorite decade [Mike] Cool! Rock it, you turkey! [Bots] All right [Crow] Yeah! [Servo] Back in the funky 70s The party didn't ever stop—ow! The city of Pompeii was doing all right But Vesuvius blew her top [Crow] Huh? [Servo] Wowow! Back in the super bad 70s The Roman Empire still reigned supreme Emperor Titus came to power And he finished up the Colosseum [Crow] Uh, Servo? [Servo] Back in the funkadelic... [Mike] Tom, can I just unplug you here? [Servo] ..70s, the Egyptian week was... 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 [Servo] 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? [Servo] 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! [Servo] 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? [Servo] Oh, all right. Here's a little song I penned about the 50s Do you remember the 50s When Emperor Claudius died? The apostle Paul traveled to Greece and.... [Crow] Uh, Servo? [Servo] Oh no, not again [Crow] Yep [Servo] 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. Morons, morons, all of you, man! [Mike] We'll be right back. I can't explain it, it's just the way people talk
