NEWSFLASH: Herman's Hermit Karl Green Manipulates Basses!!
Well in this article about how Herman’s Hermits got their name, it said:
I just got this really funny idea in my mind! Read on:
KARL: Okay, chocolate doughnut or jam doughnut?
BASS: Erm, chocolate.
KARL: Wouldn’t you rather have jam?
BASS: No, thanks, I’m fine with the chocolate.
KARL: Jam’s so much nicer!
BASS: No, really, I *prefer* chocolate!
KARL: But the jam’s so nice, mmm! We love jam, it’s great!
BASS: Well, why don’t you have jam then?
KARL: Look, all the cool basses nowadays eat jam doughnuts! If you don’t eat jam doughnuts, then you’re just not with it.
BASS: But I LIKE chocolate doughnuts!
KARL: They aren’t as nice as jam doughnuts, you know you’d rather have jam, wouldn’t you?
BASS: No, I wouldn’t.
KARL: Yes, you would.
BASS: I wouldn’t!
KARL: You would!
BASS: Seriously, I wouldn’t! Just let me have me chocolate doughnut!
KARL: You know you’d much prefer jam though. Think of an opportunity wasted to eat such a lovely looking jam doughnut!
BASS: Stop trying to manipulate me!
KARL: But, I’m a bassist, that’s me job!
BASS: I don’t like jam!
KARL: EVERYONE likes jam!
BASS: Not me! Can’t I just have me chocolate doughnut?
KARL: No! You want a jam doughnut!
BASS: [hysterically] I WANT MY CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUT!
KARL: LOOK! [starts looking threatening] If you don’t have the jam doughnut, I’ll give you to Pete Townshend, he’ll know what to do with you!
BASS: ARGGH! Okay, okay, okay, I’ll have the jam, I’ll have the jam!
KARL: Good boy.
BASS: I’m gonna report you to the Bass Manipulation Society one of these days…
KARL: No you aren’t.
BASS: Yes I am.
KARL: You wouldn’t.
BASS: I would!
KARL: You’d hate to do that!
BASS: No I wouldn’t… would I…???
Hahahahahaaaa!
Oh, I need a life, seriously…
