SETTING UP CAMP SONG FOR INTRO ON PORTABLE INSTRUMENTS
B7 à E7, BAND SLOWLY CHANGES TO STATIONARY INSTRUMENTS
[They stroll across the stage until ending up at stage left where Dr. Tiki sets his stuff down and the musicians walk over to their stationary instruments and start jamming out improv]
[Fu is pushing the cart over as Dr. Tiki walks next to him]
Dr. Tiki: Tofu, This is really hard work, lugging all this equipment around
Fu [rolling his eyes]: Certainly, Dr. Tiki
Dr. Tiki [to Fu]: Let’s set up camp over here, and put the medicine stand right here to display the tonic for all to see
Fu: Certainly, Dr. Tiki
Dr. Tiki: I have a really fantastic feeling about this place. It’s the first time I’ve worked Pyropolis. But, I read about it on the Austin Chat list. I hear it’s a bunch of folk with a lot that needs curing. I also read some interesting information about arc welding, fire control, and the virtues of chocolate-covered bacon. To-fu, we may have found our people.
Fu: Certainly, Dr. Tiki
Dr. Tiki: Now gather round and listen up. There are problems here, so just take heed, you may think that 'all is cool', but generally problems are 'just the rule'. You may be sicker than you know. This is what you need; our magic red elixa is just the thing to fix ya.
[Curious villagers gather]
[Oliver Newton John approaches from stage right next to the Pyropolis sign]
DR TIKIS MEDICINE SHOW- Intro
Welcome to the show, Let us take you away
There’s no need to pay
Travelers from the road, we’ve got no place to go.
This is Dr. Tiki’s Medicine Show
So, get the fire burning.
Higher, higher, oh
[Oliver meanders toward Tiki]
Tiki: Why hello there, what’s your problem, young man?
Oliver: Problem, well. Well, I’m Oliver Newton John, I never really noticed any problems until now.
Tiki: If you think that nothing’s wrong with you, then you’re not in touch with your feelings, and I can help you do that.
Oliver: Really? YOU can do that for ME?
Tiki: Certainly, young man, one magic elixir coming right up… [Gestures to Fu]
Fu: Certainly, Dr. Tiki
[Fu hands elixir to Tiki]
Tiki: This is what you need, the magic red elixir, just drink it up and you’ll be in touch with your feelings in no time, young man. The 'magic red potion’ will fix 'your emotion' just have 'a notion'
SONG: FUNK THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED
SUNG BY MEDECINE SHOW
AND REDCAMPERS IN THE CROWD
[While song plays, Tiki hands elixir to Oliver. Oliver sips on the elixir as he exits]
[Shy person approaches from stage right next to the Pyropolis sign]
DR TIKI-SHY PERSON LYRICS
If you are another who needs a friend,
But the timidness binds you and won’t give in.
You need to see the man: The man with the master plan.
This is Dr. Tiki’s Medicine Show
So, get the fire burning.
Higher, higher, oh
Dr. Tiki: Why, hello there my little wallflower! Come over here, let’s talk about what ails ya!
[shy person looks bashful and opens her mouth to say something]
Dr. Tiki: You’re clearly a woman doing all that she can to fade off into the distance. Full of bash, bashful, we call it. Tell me, young thing, have I struck a nerve with you?
[shy person looks bashful and opens her mouth to say something]
Dr. Tiki: Of course I have! Dr. Tiki is always right. I know how it is. Dr. Tiki knows all, the power of prestidigitation. Tell me about your troubles.
[Shy person looks bashful and opens her mouth to say something]
Dr. Tiki: I know the scenario. You decide to come to the biggest party west of the Pecos. Your heart is full of hope and anticipation, another night of possibilities. The possibility of love, friendship, hope, desire… But something holds you back.
[Shy person looks bashful and opens her mouth to say something]
Dr. Tiki: Something that prevents you from making the most of the experience. And I’ll tell you what that something is… It’s your sickness. You have a need, a need I’m here to resolve.
BUG SHY PERSON SONG
WITH DANCERS
If I could just ease my mind
that what I'm about to say
won't make you think that I'm
Dull
(I'd have more to say)
Everytime I try
to get a handle on this thing
Fear runs down my spine
(feel like I could faint)
Everytime I try
(to get a handle on this thing)
I give up
cuz i'm shy
Maybe you could tell me what it is I need
won't you show me please
Maybe you could tell me what it is I need
won't you show me please
You see I've been living a life
withdrawn due to internal strife
No one ever gets my jokes
and I don't share myself with most
But this has got to change
it cost me when I try to date
THe ladies never get my jokes
cuz' I can't share myself with most
SONG ENDS WITH A SOUR NOTE
[Fu prepares the tonic and gives to Tiki]
Dr.Tiki: This is what you need! I have it here. Just put your tokens down and you’ll see your problems clear. Now drink the magic red elixir and just hit the street and repeat, “Hello, how do you do?”
Shy person [drinks elixir and approaches random villagers]: Hello, how do you do?
Dr. Tiki: Now go away, kid. You’re cured, Go away!
CHORUS SONG – RED TONY NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
DANCERS
RANDOM FLIPSIDE PEOPLE TO DO WACKY STUFF
[Villagers acknowledge and shake hands with Shy Person(s) as if seeing them for the first time]
[To Fu takes out two large RED glittery hearts and does 'stuff' with them, taking out trinkets and being a goofball]
[Anger management person wanders from stage right]
[Band members switch drummers… Tiki says something nice about the random flipside people that are part of his medicine show]
PROGRESSIVE SONG – CUTHULU- 2 parts
[Dialog begins toward the end of the jam]
Anger person: Now wait a minute, this guy is a farce, coming in here screwing up our gift economy! He’s just trying to get with my girlfriend and he’s trying to bogart my booze. He’s up to no good; I wouldn’t even be surprised if this guy is with homeland security!
Villagers: GASP!
MUSIC STOPS
Anger person: I say we need to get together and start a revolution!
Tiki: That’s right! We need something revolutionary! What we need is some properly placed anarchy! Young man, I can relate to everything you’re saying here. In fact, there was a time when I too had a major problem with anger!
HEAVY METAL SONG- “GET OUT OF MY WAY” (RIFFJUNE07)
[Tofu takes out overtly large boxing gloves and waves them overtly in the air.]
[Dialog begins toward the end of the jam]
Anger person: I don’t have a problem with anger! I have a problem with you!
Tiki: Yes that’s right you have a problem with me; we have a problem together. You’re a man with absolution, a man that that wants a revolution, a man that needs a solution. A solution I happen to have right here! Because. You can’t deal with anger alone. That just leads to the big letdown!
Villagers [in unison]: The big letdown?
SILENCE
Tiki: That’s right!
DARK DEPRESSING SONG à E to Eb
Tiki: So that, my friend, is the big letdown. So what you need is a little pick me up. The companion to anger resolution must be the solution, the magic red elixir! Fu!!! [snaps fingers]
Fu: Certainly, Dr. Tiki [delivers the potion]
Tiki: Take this elixir. Look in the mirror, and repeat, “You need coolin! Baby, I’m not foolin!”
BAND THROWS IN WHOLE LOTTA LOVE LICK
Anger guy [takes potion, repeats mantra nodding head, sipping potion, walks away a little stifled and confused – walks over to BUG on drums and throws him off, then chorus song begins]
THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED REPRISE
[Villagers talk amongst themselves. Dance segue]
[Someone comes into the scene and breaks into the Elaine, obviously can’t dance]
[Dr. Tiki shuts down the song and everyone stops]
BAND PLAYS SONG WITH WEIRD TIME SIGNATURE
[can’t dance still continues to dance badly to the time sig song]
Tiki: We got another sickness here that needs to be addressed.
[Everyone looks around confused, and tiki motions to the dancer, and they all nod, ohhh]
[Tiki approaches bad dancer]
Tiki: Sweetheart, darlin, little puddin. How do I put it to you?
[Bad dancer continues to dance]
Tiki: It appears to me, you might be rhythmically challenged.
Bad dancer: Huh?
Tiki: You seem a little sunk in your syncopation
Bad dancer: What?
Tiki: Honey, you’re two boots short of a two-step
Bad dancer: Huh?
Tiki: Honey, you just can’t dance!
[stops dancing, music stops, dancer looks embarrassed]
Tiki: But that’s not a problem, cuz you’re here with Dr. Tiki! Now drink the magic RED elixir, hit the street and repeat, "Feel the beat, feel the beat, there's the heat, just feel that beat".
Tiki: 5,6,7,8, ok, now on your way!
[Dancer walks/dances off repeating the mantra]
Bad Dancer: Feel the beat, feel the beat, there's the heat just feel that beat...
“Rhythm always gives me the Blues” (Song for girl who can’t dance)
(1st Verse)
I wake in the morning
And I put two left feet in my shoes
And when I hear the music
The rhythm just gives me the blues
(Chorus)
Cause I can’t clap
Can’t Clap
And I can’t snap
Can’t Snap
And I can’t walk
When I talk
Cause I’ve got two left feet
And the rhythm always gives me the blues.
(2nd Verse)
When a boy looks at me
With the promise of sweet romance
I always have to pass
When that boy comes to ask me to dance
(Chorus)
Cause I can’t slide
Can’t slide
And I can’t Groove
Can’t Groove
It don’t look good
When I move
Cause I’ve got two left feet
And the rhythm always gives me the blues.
(3rd Verse)
Then Dr. Tiki showed me
That all I’ve got to do is try
Just drink down the potion
And kiss my inhibitions goodbye
(Chorus)
So to be free
Be Free
Is what I choose
I choose
I drink it down
Cause I can’t loose
And now all I want to do
Is go dancing to those rhythm and blues
[To Fu takes out really large shoes and waves them in the air in a dancing motion.]
[While problems hang out with Tiki and the Sidekick and props, Villiagers]
[Oliver comes back]
Medicine show dancer: Dr. Tiki knows everything! He can fix anything!
Random Villager: I don’t know about this Dr. Tiki. He sure seems to tell us anything we want to know… Various comments
Oliver: Well, not everything…
[Oliver grabs Tiki and sets him down in a chair. Tiki looks bewildered.]
Oliver: It’s true Dr. Tiki, I do have a sickness! And it’s one that only you can cure!
Tiki: Yes, my boy?
Oliver: There’s just one part of it I just don’t think you… get. Something I need to tell you
Tiki: Yes?

But now there's nowhere to hide, since you pushed my love aside
I'm not in my head,hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
Hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying "fool, forget him",
My heart is saying "don't let go"
Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do

since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head,
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,

[Rips off Teddy]

Tiki: People of pyropolis, redcampers, smash campers, hippies, ravers, wookies, choopa-cabra-cops, you don’t need a magic potion; you don’t need to lose 10 pounds; you don’t need to whiten your teeth. All you need is………….. love!!

(1st Verse)
I wake in the morning
And I put two left feet in my shoes
And when I hear the music

Can’t Snap

When a boy looks at me
With the promise of sweet romance
I always have to pass
When that boy comes to ask me to dance
(Chorus)
Cause I can’t slide
Can’t slide
And I can’t Groove
Can’t Groove
It don’t look good
When I move
Cause I’ve got two left feet
And the rhythm always gives me the blues.
(3rd Verse)
Then Dr. Tiki showed me
That all I’ve got to do is try
Just drink down the potion
And kiss my inhibitions goodbye
(Chorus)
So to be free
Be Free
Is what I choose
I choose
I drink it down
Cause I can’t loose
And now all I want to do
Is go dancing to those rhythm and blues

Chorus same as first time except last 2 chords
Guess mine is not the first heart broken,
my eyes are not the first to cry I'm not the first to know,
there's just no gettin' over you
Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see, there's nothin' else for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide, since you pushed my love aside
I'm not in my head,hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
Hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying "fool, forget him",
My heart is saying "don't let go"
Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide,
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head,
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
Hopelessly devoted to you
