(Applause ripples across the room, as a familiar face takes the stage....)
Wayne Newton: Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our Christmas party 2023! Without further ado, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Wild applause at TP&THB finish and elvis comes out...)
E: Thanks, Tom, I really appreciate you comin' out like this!
T: Well, you 'n' me got one big thing in common now- nothin' better to do!
E: I know yer right there!
W: Say, Tom, since you're now a member of the Musical Tardis 'dead guests club', let me ask you- do you have any advice for the viewers?
T: I sure do- do NOT forget the reason for the season. You may think that new Chevy Tahoe is the best Christmas gift you'll ever get- but you're wrong.
E: Amen ta that, Tommy. Ladies and gentlemen, Tom Petty! (Applause) Nice ta have ya back on the show, Wayne...
W: You MEAN that? you really mean...
E: Now don' get all gushy, I got another guest to innerduce! Folks, this gent I had ta do a LOT of talkin' to ta get him to come- specifically, "No Donald Duck suit this time!" Well Chris ain't here tonight, so's I c'n guarantee it! Here's the legendary Elton John!
W: Wow, great performance, Sir Elton!
EJ: Speaking for those of us who still walk the earth, glad I could be here!
W: Say, what WAS the deal with the Donald Duck suit?
EP: See, Elton? Now ya know why we usually tie him up about now!
EJ: That was actually an outfit I performed in in 1980 in Central Park, New York. I actually cracked up trying to sing Your Song- something about that bit, 'It's a little bit funny' in a duck suit...
W: You sang a song for me? Wow, and I wasn't even there to hear it...
EJ: Are you sure? There were 400,000 people milling about that day...
EP: Don' humor the idjit! That was the name of the song, it wasn't a song FOR YOU....
| Sorry, I'll go hide now... |
EP : Later, we got a show ta do! Thanks again for coming on. Everyone, Sir Elton John!!!!!
(Wild applause...)
Friends, this is our third Christmas bash, an' I tried my best ta make each one a little special. It's about family, an' friends, but most of all, it's about a little baby that was more'n just a baby- an he did more than just be born, he died so's we could make it ta rock'n'roll heaven. So now, I'm a-gonna give ya a little of both ta close out the show... Never before on our stage, here is Anthony Osche with Cyrielle Duval....
EP: So you two are actually a band, too?
AC: Yeah, we are called Black Hellebore...
W: Sounds scary!
CD: It's actually another name for the Christmas Rose, really...
AC: Our new CD, Disorder, is out right now- except it's kind of, well, on backorder right now. But if you go on our site, you can order it, with the band's signatures, for ten Euros...
W: I have a question- did she win the Beauty Contest this year?
EP: You knucklehead, like I'd let you within ten miles of a beauty contest, after what you did on the last one! Not that you couldn't, ma'am...
CD: Aw, how sweet!
EP: Well, that's it fer the show, hope y'all enjoyed! Fer all the guests, Wayne, Chris, an' myself, Merry and blessed Christmas!
W: Hey, Anthony just invited us to an 'after party". Wanna go?
EP: With you... an' Tom Petty? Ooh, this ain't gonna be good....
