You’re listening to Z2000FM, music for the new millennium. And now for all you members of Generation X out there, here’s a blast from the past. This one is coming at you from almost 15 years ago - straight from the heart of The Electric Eighties. The era that gave us M.C. Hammer, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, stone-washed denim, and of course...the Rubik’s Cube! WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO GO PETE Jitterbug Jitterbug Jitterbug Jitterbug 2 You put the boom-boom into my heart You send my soul sky high when your lovin’ starts Jitterbug into my brain Goes a bang-bang-bang ‘til my feet do the same If something’s bugging you If something aint right My best friend told me what you did last night Left me sleepin’ in my bed I was dreaming, but I should have been with you instead. Wake me up before you go-go Don’t leave me hanging on like a yo-yo Wake me up before you go-go I don’t want to miss it when you hit that high Wake me up before you go-go Cause I’m not plannin’ on going solo Wake me up before you go-go Take me dancing tonight I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah). You take the grey skies outta my way You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day Turned a bright spark into a flame My beats per minutes never been the same Cause you’re my lady, I’m your fool It makes me crazy when you act so cruel Come on baby, let’s not fight We’ll go dancing, everything will be alright Wake me up before you go-go Don’t leave me hanging on like a yo-yo Wake me up before you go-go I don’t wanna miss it when you hit that high Wake me up before you go-go Cause I’m not plannin on going solo Wake me up before you go-go Take me dancing tonight I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah, yeah). I do the jitterbug! Corey Sr: Ladies and gentlemen, my graduating class from William Ocean High School. And that little dude...well that’s me, Corey Palmer. Voted the boy most likely to be married by the age of 21. Those two, they were my best friends, Kirk Keaton and Alf Bueller. Look at us... I mean, those were the days when Max Headroom was cool - and the Atari was cutting edge technology. I can still remember it like it was yesterday. Sure, over the last decade, some of the names have become a little vague...and I haven’t seen some of the faces since graduation. But when I look at the school photos, I can still recall what every one of them was like...and can’t help wondering where some 3 of them are now. And out of all these faces, there is still one name that gives me goose bumps to this day...Tiffany Houston. Tiffany was the girl next door. No, I mean it - she actually lived next door to me. Look at her, she was the most beautiful girl in the school - if not the whole world. She was also the first girl who ever broke my heart. Of course there were many others that made up our class. Michael Feldman and the cool guys, Tiffany’s best friend Cyndi Gibson, and our class geek - Feargal McFerrin III. So there we were. It was the start of our senior year. Junior High was nothing more than a distant memory. We were young, naive - and we were having the time of our lives... KIDS IN AMERICA JEN Looking out a dirty old window Down below the cars in the city go rushing by I sit here alone and I wonder why Friday night and everyone’s moving I can feel the heat but it’s soothing Heading down I search for the beat in this dirty town ENSEMBLE B Down town the young ones are going Down town the young ones are growing We’re the kids in America (Whoa-oh) We’re the kids in America (Whoa-oh) Everybody live for the music-go-round JEN Bright lights the music gets faster Look boy, don’t check on your watch, not another glance I’m not leaving now, honey not a chance Hot-shot, give me no problems Much later baby you’ll be saying never mind You know life is cruel, life is never kind ENSEMBLE B Kind hearts don’t make a new story Kind hearts don’t grab any glory We’re the kids in America (Whoa-oh) We’re the kids in America (Whoa-oh) Everybody live for the music-go-round Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na (sing) Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na (yeah) 4 We’re the kids We’re the kids We’re the kids in America We’re the kids We’re the kids We’re the kids in America! America! Oh say can you see? We’re the kids! SCENE 2 (WOHS – Full Cast (less Eileen)) COCKER: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to your final year at William Ocean High School. Principal Ron McDonald could not be here this morning, but he has asked me to welcome you back and to say a special William Ocean “Hi!” to all of our new students. For those of you who have joined us this year, my name is Mr. Cocker - and I am the head of Mathematics at this school. I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce you all to your Senior Student Coordinator, Miss Brannigan. BRANNIGAN: Thank you, Mr. Cocker. Our first job this year is to select our Senior Year President. The three candidates running are Corey Palmer, Michael Feldman, and Feargal McFerrin. Now, Election Day is next Friday and that is when the candidates will be giving their election presentations. But for now, I would like each candidate to come up to the front and address the class. Corey, could you start us off?
