How I Imagine “Pop Champagne” Was Created

Jim Jones is in his study, enjoying a fine port wine. The marketplace section of the newspaper in his hands. He dips it slightly to see Ron Browz walk in. Ron has a bottle of glue and a brown paper bag, which he has been breathing out of.

RON: Jim, I got ideas. I got so many ideas.

Jim puts down his paper to give Ron his full attention

RON: My brain feels like Pregnant Fat Chick it’s so big.
JIM: You must have one whopper of an idea! Do tell!

Ron pours some more glue into his bag. He breathes in deeply from the bag. He starts looking for Blue Pirates – his mortal enemy - which he can see none. Ron realizes he’ll have to huff more glue in order to see through to the truth.

RON: You know that “Na-na-na-nananana-na-na” part of the song we’ve been working on. Pop Champagne?
JIM: The finely tuned melodic interlude? Of course.
RON: Yeah, screw that. We don’t need a melody. I’m just going to turn on the drum machine and let you go.
JIM: How daring. But how will we differentiate our sound? With only a drum, what will we give the listener?
RON: Too much bass. And we’ll mess with vocals.
JIM: That seems lazy.
RON: BLUE PIRATES!

Ron jumps out the second story window.
