So now ladies and gentlemen, it is “Star Time”.
Are you ready for “Star Time?” Thank you,
and thank you very kindly. It is indeed a great
pleasure to present to you, The Hardest-Working
Man in Show Business”: “Mister Dynamite”!
The amazing “Mister Please Please” himself,
the star of the show, James Brown.
Oh, and by the way, this scene is about Michael
Jackson also. They are showing off their dance
moves to each other, just to pass the time.
JAMES: You start. Show me your Moonwalk.
MICHAEL: It’s easy, but may cost you
your ankles, it’s done with your toes and heels
(Michael does his moonwalk)
JAMES: That’s the most stupid walk I’ve ever seen.
You must be crazy in your head when you go
walking like that – it ain’t dancing, brother.
MICHAEL: Why not?
JAMES: It doesnt need any rhythm to perform it.
If you walk like that in the supermarket doing
your shopping they will call the police thinking you’re
an alien or something
MICHAEL: Okay then, it’s your turn now,
show me your dancing.
JAMES: I got several moves but they were all done
to the rhythm, brother. I can remember some toes
and heel moves myself so you probably stole mine
and made it more perfect. That’s how we do it, living
in America.
MICHAEL: Like you also did with your moves.
Stealing them. But my moves are more famous, for
several decades already and ongoing, so I’ve won.
JAMES: Dancing is not about winning or selling like
songs. Like you did with those Beatles songs.
MICHAEL: That was just a little game we did Paul McCarteney
and me. Let’s not go into that. But look, James, you know
you were always my idol. I don’t mind saying I got it all from
you man. You were the inspiration. Let’s not fight over it,
I’m a lover not a fighter.
JAMES: Thank you, my son. I’m a lover too, but also a fighter,
my friend. Women prefer those fighters, and lovers. But hey,
it’s fine with me, I’m not gonna get in a race with you over who
is the greatest lover.
MICHAEL: Not much we can do on this island of Superstar
Zombies, Mister Dynamite. We can’t be showing off our dance
moves to each other whole day. Any suggestions how we can pass
our time here? Doesnt make much sense right now.
JAMES: We can play chess. You think you can stand it, losing
all the time, over and over again?
MICHAEL: Come on, I bet you never played any chess in your
whole life. What’s your first move then?
JAMES: The horse. I always go out on a horse, rain or shine,
in the morning, well used to that when I had the chance. Pity they
don’t have horses on this island. We could go for rides along the
beach.
MICHAEL: That’s an idea perhaps. They must have beach
buggies or something. Let’s find out.
JAMES: Get Up Offa That Thing then, Moonwalker. Let’s
shake it. It’s not really funky this place here doing nothing
and waiting. Let’s go ride the beaches!
And that’s how it came to be:
James Brown and Michael
Jackson riding their beach
buggies and singing and
shouting their funky songs
nearly every day, rain or shine.
