Sorry for singing a very catchy, good song. Well we re going to be here at Grandma and Grandpa s house for week so we might as well make the best of it. That s going to be impossible! We have no internet, so how can we possibly entertain ourselves? Yeah, how are we supposed to have fun? Play outside? Hey, maybe we could write a good catchy song together. And when we do get back into the real world with internet we can put it on youtube and become famous! And how are we supposed to do that? I can t even plug in my ipod anywhere. Well what s this (going over to an old record player) it looks like it can play music? That looks ancient, gosh Grandma and Grandpa are old! 2
Wow! Those are really large CD s. Rock and Roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can t help but move to it. That s what happens to me. I can t help it. Those aren t CD s they re records and you put them on the record player. You should look that up on the World Wide Web! This is awesome! Let s listen to some of these old records and get ideas on how to make a hit song. (He starts putting the record on the player) Boring (yawn) I think I will take a nap instead. This one says The King who s the king? (Elvis appears with the Blue Team as backup singers and adoring fans screaming his name) Thank you, thank you very much! (Shocked and can t believe his eyes) Ok, I think the nap can wait. Wow! It s Elvis Presley, the man, the myth, the legend. Uh Mr. Elvis you have so many fans (all fans scream, one or two even faint) and you became so famous, how did you do it with your music? Music should be something that makes you gotta move, inside or outside. You mean emotionally and physically? Uh- huh (JAIL HOUSE ROCK) Blue Team THE WARDEN THREW A PARTY IN THE COUNTY JAIL. THE PRISON BAND WAS THERE AND THEY BEGAN TO WAIL. THE BAND WAS JUMPIN' AND THE JOINT BEGAN TO SWING. YOU SHOULD'VE HEARD THOSE KNOCKED OUT JAILBIRDS SING. LET'S ROCK, EVERYBODY, LET'S ROCK. EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE CELL BLOCK WAS DANCIN' TO THE JAILHOUSE ROCK. SPIDER MURPHY PLAYED THE TENOR SAXOPHONE, LITTLE WAS BLOWIN' ON THE SLIDE TROMBONE. THE DRUMMER BOY FROM ILLINOIS WENT CRASH, BOOM, BANG, THE WHOLE RHYTHM SECTION WAS THE PURPLE GANG. LET'S ROCK, EVERYBODY, LET'S ROCK. EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE CELL BLOCK WAS DANCIN' TO THE JAILHOUSE ROCK. NUMBER FORTY-SEVEN SAID TO NUMBER THREE: "YOU'RE THE CUTEST JAILBIRD I EVER DID SEE. I SURE WOULD BE DELIGHTED WITH YOUR COMPANY, COME ON AND DO THE JAILHOUSE ROCK WITH ME." LET'S ROCK, EVERYBODY, LET'S ROCK. EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE CELL BLOCK WAS DANCIN' TO THE JAILHOUSE ROCK. (after the song ends and fans exit stage in cloud of smoke) (never stops singing, is now in his own world and hasn t realize the record has finished playing) Dancing to the Jail House Rock, Dancing to the Jail House Rock (suddenly realizes everyone is staring at him and slowly comes to) Now that was cool. Elvis is awwwwwwwsome! He was idolized by so many people. Who else has affected the music industry as much as Elvis did? I don t get what you mean? 3 4
Take a look at this record, Michael Jackson s Thriller. It says it s was the best selling album of all time. Give me that it can t be right. Justin Bieber is way more famous than Michael Jackson.duh. (reads facts on record) This album won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards.. Yeah and how many Grammy s has Justin Bieber won.that s what I thought, you can t compete with the King of Pop. Come on, let s put it on and listen to it. I m ready to dance some more! (The record get s played and who appear.the King of Pop himself of course) ABC.its easy as.123! MICHAEL JACKSON Michael, I know you were gifted as a young child but how did you get to be so talented?

Well according to the facts that I ve read, the American Country Pop Princess is the top-selling digital artist in music history. With over 24.3 million tracks sold its Miss Taylor Swift. I love her, she is sooooo pretty.
