You're In The Band (Dewey & Students)
You're In The Band
Dewey: (spoken)
Ever play an electric guitar?
Zack: (spoken)
My dad says it's a waste of time.
Dewey: (spoken)
Well, Zack, let's waste that time together. Here take this. Now pay attention.
Dewey (sung):
Grab a hold of your axe and try to pluck out this riff
(Dewey plucks out the first notes of "Satisfaction". Zack imitates.)
Dewey (spoken):
Good!
Dewey (sung):
Let your shoulders relax, you don't wanna be so stiff
(Zack plays again, with more confidence.)
Dewey (spoken):
That's it! Excellent!
Dewey (sung):
Keep on goin' don't stop
Take it over the top
Make each note really pop
Squeeze out every last drop
Give it one final whop
And yes! You're in the band
Dewey (spoken):
You!
Katie (spoken):
Katie.
Dewey (spoken):
What was the big thing you were playing?
Katie (spoken):
The cello?
Dewey (spoken):
The cheeel-lo!
Dewey (sung):
Turn a cello this way and it's practically like a bass.
(Dewey plays the riff of "Smoke On The Water".)
Pop the strings when you play and watch how you shred my face
(Katie rocks the riff, sounding great.)
Dewey (spoken):
Whoa, yes! Katie's shredding my face off! Oh, no, it's still there.
Dewey (sung):
Keep on rockin' each note
Grab it right by the throat
Keep the rhythm afloat
Don't forget to emote
And that's all that she wrote
Baby, you're in the band!
Dewey (spoken):
Piano man!
Lawrence (spoken):
Lawrence.
Dewey (spoken):
Whatever dude, come here!
Dewey (sung):
If you play the piano, you can play the keys
Lawrence (spoken):
I only play classical--
Dewey (sung):
So just loosen it up and strut your expertise
Lawrence (spoken):
I don't think that I can.
Dewey (sung):
Take a look at this music and let your mind expand
(Lawrence plays a keyboard riff.)
You're in the band!
Dewey (spoken):
Now who's gonna be my drummer?
Freddie (spoken):
I play percussion.
Summer (spoken):
You play the cymbals.
Freddie (spoken):
Zip it!
Dewey (spoken):
Zip it!
Dewey (sung):
Sit your butt at the skins and try to whack out a beat
(Freddie finds a simple rhythm.)
Dewey (spoken):
Not bad. For my grandma. Who's dead.
Dewey (sung):
Feel the groove in your pins, then slowly turn up the heat
(Freddie starts getting fancy.)
Dewey (spoken):
Yeah, now he's playing like my Grandmother who's alive!
Dewey (sung):
And now rat-a-tat-tat on the bass and hi-hat
Make it juicy and fat! Yeah, exactly like that!
And now shut it down flat...
(Freddie plays a monster fill...)
You're in the band!
Dewey (sung):
I need a couple of roadies
Sophie & Madison (spoken):
We can do that!
Dewey (sung):
I need someone on tech
Mason (spoken):
I'll be tech.
Dewey (sung):
Who wants to be security?
James (spoken):
I will.
Billy (spoken):
Can I be the stylist?
Dewey (spoken):
Check!
Dewey (sung):
Well how about being manager?
Summer (spoken):
Manager?
Dewey (sung):
Is that something you could swing?
Summer (spoken):
What does it mean?
Dewey (sung):
It means I'm putting you in charge of the whole darn thing!
Summer (spoken):
Yes!
Dewey (sung):
We've got our band!
Dewey (spoken):
Now Freddy, keep that beat going. Katie, come in on G...
Just give me that G, lay it down there.
Zack, hit me with some big fat chords.
Awesome! Lawrence, take me to the moon!
Where are my backup girls? Give me a little Lou Reed action, like this...
Dewey (sung):
Doot, de doot, de doot
Doot, de doot
Doot, de doot, de doot
Doot, de doo
Marcy, Shonelle & Backup Singer #3 (sung):
Doot, de doot, de doot
Doot, de doo
Doot, de doot, de doot
Doot, de...
Dewey (sung):
Now repeat after me
I pledge allegiance to the band!
Kids (sung):
I pledge allegiance to the band!
Dewey (sung):
And I promise to give Mister Schneebly full command!
Kids (sung):
I promise to give Mr. Schneebly full command!
Dewey (sung):
And with me in control
Of the band as a whole
We will rock and we'll roll
With our heart and our soul
If you're in raise your hand!
Katie (sung):
I'm in the band!

Summer (sung):

You're in the band!
