Who is playing the records, making the music, moving the dancers. Who is playing the records at the fortieth floor party today? Who is tending the sound system, turning it up high, speakling the tweeters. Who is operating all the sounds on this day of celebration?
It’s Lu and Sue and the Construction Crew and it is Lessess and Tessess in all of their dresses and Lon Lonson and Squirts have their hands on the construction blurts and they and all the others have a little thing to say about the sounds.
Just listening to one or watching another makes your spirits soar up miles from the floor.
Where is that lovely tune, was it written on the moon, did it burn out of the sun, and why is its dance beat so much fun? Who wrote that same old song, which if you play you can’t be wrong and if you have to listen twice it gets even more than nice.
Dance to the music with your pants and your skirts, you must dance until it hurts, and you dance until the music’s over. Dance in your head and repeat it till you’re dead and you’ll sing it still in bed and believe it but you’re sober.
As there is a song in the room, and they sing it to the moon, and they sing along with the canned, and they sing it like it’s banned:
Do you want to be missed
Do you want to be kissed
Do you want to be
An amazing odyssey
That’s what a star is
So do the star dance
With me.
And then the music rests, and then the music makes an edge, and then the music takes a break, but it didn’t bake a cake. And then there’s a new voice, and it comes on the loudspeaker, but you know it from beside the TV back in the old TV days.
It’s Scrunchyface the Develorapter and he is standing on a tall and he is looking at them all and is the center of attention. He blows into the mike and they all look at him just like they all rode in on him, the bike. He gets all the attention like he bought it, or as if he were music.
“Hello friends, and welcome to the party,” and Scrunchyface said it and it makes you want to clap.
“I like to see you party, I like to see you party hearty, and I think there is a real good reason to party as much today as possible.
“This town has been Pome Town and we know it’s been a nice town but it hasn’t been an all town like the towns on the TV. I saw them and I wanted, I just wanted that for my town, I wanted Star town for my Pome Town, and that is the town I give to you this day.
“Pome Town has a new name, and you shall call it Star Town, for you’re all the stars of Star Town and that’s why we dance and sing. Star Town is a great place, it’s a real stay up late place, it’s a find your one true fate place, it’s a never a deadweight space, it is never a stagnate place, it’s a used to be third rate place. Today it is a consummate place, an elevate place, an escalate place. It is a laureate space, a ululate place, a conflabulate space, an elaborate place, an exhilarate space, an invigorate place, a predominate place, a rejuvenate place, a sophisticate space, a supersaturate splace and, one might even say - a thirty-eight place.”
Cyclops wondered if this “thirty-eight” of which Scrunchyface the Develorapter spoke had something to do with his thirty-eight eyes, but he still didn’t know where his living room went.
