Yes, but we must pander to, er, entertain our audience which doesn't do Broadway but rather rock'n'roll... (fade in; "I want my Image books...I want my Image books...I want my Image books...") (bamf noises replicating the drum beats, a Banshee scream replaces the whine of the electric guitar) Now look at them X-books that's the way you do it You draw the muties for the big fat fees That ain't drawin' that's the way they do it Muties for nothin' and checks for free Now that ain't drawin' that's the way they do it Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb Maybe get a blister on your drawin' finger Maybe make a ninja of your chum We gotta install some new wall units Thirteen spinoff mini-series We gotta move these Youngblood Ones We gotta move these Image muties See the little wartist with the cliches and the angstin' Yeah buddy them's his own plots That little wartist got his own jet Lockheed That little wartist he's a real hot shot We gotta install some new wall units Fifteen spinoff mini-series We gotta move these Youngblood Ones We gotta move these Image muties (snickt, zap, thunder, bamf, cash register noises) I shoulda learned to write them muties I shoulda learned to draw those guys Look at that mutie, she got it stickin' in the jugular Don't they ever have no fun? And he's up there, what's that? Snickting noises? Slicin' up those ninjas like a Cuisinart That ain't writin' that's the way you do it Draw your muties for nothin' get your checks for free We gotta install some new wall units Nineteen spinoff mini-series We gotta move these Youngblood Ones We gotta move these Image muties (sound of dragon howling in background, followed by sound of cash register drawer opening) Now that ain't writin' that's the way they do it You draw your muties for the big fat fees That ain't writin' that's the way they do it Muties for nothin' and your checks for free Muties for nothin' and checks for free Muties for nothin', checks for free I want my, I want my, I want my, Image books (intertwined and repeated to fade, with cash register sounds in background) Parody lyrics copyright 1985, 1988, 1992 Thomas Young Galloway (originally I want my X-Muties, updated for the times) "Recccccccccc.arts.comics where the flames go scrolling down the screen..." --RAClahoma, the musical tyg [t--g] at [hq.ileaf.com]
