Skip Newsworthy: We're backstage with Roosevelt DeVille and The Sanctified Tambourines...well, it's not really a backstage...but more like the church office. In any event, DeVille and The Tambourines are in the middle of warming up. Shhh, let's take a listen.

Roosevelt DeVille: Boodro, give me an E-flat, the altos are about to make me blow my roof off!



Altos: (singing) "God is Greeeeeaaaaat!"

Roosevelt DeVille: Stop! Stop!! STOP!!! I said an E-flat not a D-sharp!!!!

Boodro: But that's the same note, Ville.

Roosevelt DeVille: Oh yeah. My bad...I meant a B-flat.

Boodro: You got it. (striking chord on organ)

Altos: (singing) "God is Greeeeeaaaaat!"

Roosevelt DeVille: Stop! Hold up! Just stop! (pacing back and forth) Now...how can I put this? Sopranos you're on point. Tenors ya'll are even on point, but guess what? ALTOS YA'LL NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER!!!!! What seems to be the problem? Talk to me. Humph? Are ya'll lactose intolerant? Ya'll got to go to the toilet or something 'cause it sure sounds like you need to get rid of some backed up pressure!!!! We have to go on in 20 minutes and ya'll sound like you got food poisoning or something!!! This is not working...this is not working.

Skip Newsworthy: Well as you can see Mr. DeVille is quite...um…upset. We’ll come back once this situation…kind of…er…calms down. Back to you Scotty.

BGZ: Fine and you?

OW: I was just going to say the same thing to you.
BGZ: Oh.
OW: I love your outfit. The long white top with the fringes.
BGZ: Yeah, it's very Sly Stoneish, ala Woodstock.
OW: Is that a new guitar? Where is your white flying V? This is a different flying V.
BGZ: Yeah, it was the strangest thing. I went to go take my white one out of the case and proped up next to it was this guitar with a note that read "Jimi says that he wants you to. Pali".
I knew who it belonged to when I first saw it. But... Let's just say it was divine intervention.
OW: Wow!
BGZ: Yeah.

tA: Don't sweat it D everythings gonna be alright. As a matter of fact, the Reverend Lenox Thomas and Bishop Daddy Rich said they were gonna run off and bring something back to hook your show up right. Btw, have you ever noticed how the 2 of them look like twins?

Anyway here they are now.

tA: So what y'all got?
RLT: Wait til you see this.

Farnsworth Bently: (whispering) It's getting really ugly backstage. If you just joined us, I'm here at the First 42nd St. Mt. Olive Greater Calvary Green Pastures Feed My Sheep Suffer Unto Me Little Children International Church of God in Christ Church where Roosevelt DeVille is scheduled to go on in the next 10 minutes. However, DeVille seems to be on the verge (no pun intended) of a breakdown because the altos sound a mess and Reverend Lenox Thomas and Bishop Daddy Rich just brought some chonky donkey streetwalkers up in here. Let's see if we can see what's going on...

Roosevelt Deville: (faintly whispering) This can't be happening, man. This absolutely CAN NOT be happening. tA, what's the business, man? Why is this happening to me? Out of all the days, TODAY had to be the day? I got my mama and Big Mama sittin' out there in the audience, man. I can't have my choir going out there sounding a wretched mess. Big Mama would never forgive me, man. It's an injustice to all the altos that came up in her era. I've warned them that Big Mama don't play when it comes to singing praises to the Lord. Now if some tambourines, shoes, or wigs get to flying from the audience they'll know where it's coming from. I ain't got nutthin' to do with it 'cause I would've already given them fair warning.

FB: Let's see if we can get a word in with DeVille. Um excuse me, Mr. DeVille? Mr. DeVille?

RD: Yeah, who is you?

FB: It's me, Farnsworth Bentley and I-

RD: How did you get back here?

FB: Well, I'm with the media and I-

RD: No, I mean how did you get back here with that outfit? You are not a Milwaukee pimp and polyester is really uncomfortable. Plus the fact, that umbrella is doing you no justice. Get rid of it, dog.

FB: Okay, but what about the show.

RD: What about it?

FB: Well, you're scheduled to go on in the next 7 minutes.

RD: Well, I guess I won't be going on until the altos get their act together and-HOLD UP!!!

FB: What?

RD: HOLD UP!!! WHO INVITED THESE HOES??!!!!

Brother Daddy Rich: These are the Heavenly Hoes! Fine ain't they?!

RD: (faints)

FB: Uh, cut to commercial.

No, but I got a doorag or two... and a ... and a ... and a busted-up mandolin...

Long Live The Verge!

I can out dance a Floor!
I can out monkey a cat!
YOOOOO HO!

MAN!! The Verge broke up???? Crap!!!

I'm also bummed to hear that Okaypimpn's real name is Roosevelt DeVille. I mean, this is almost as bad as finding out that Vanilla Ice's name is "Van Winkle"!! Please tell me he's not related to CC DeVille of Poison! Or Cruella!

JediMaster said:

The Verge has not broken up...I don't think.

There is some truth to Pimpn's real name (scroll to the top of the thread).

okaypimpn said:

'Course Not!!

Yours truly,
Livin' in the Here and Now (n'stead of last Wednsday)...

...we DO need more cowbell, though...

paligap said:

I'm working on it. FunkMistress is the one I want to play them, though. Sheila had her day in the sun already.

Can The Sanctified Tambourines be featured as official Verge Shakers? We're lackin' some of that Sunday-dinner soul and need to get back.

Put the rumor-mill on freeze.
The Verge is alive and well. As a matter of fact, there's a deal in the works for The Verge to be Chris Rock's backing band during the 77th Academy Awards show.

Fellas we've gotta learn this tune to open the show.

Kill The White People


I live in a shanty in the shantytown.
We have no money so we had to sleep on the ground.
I played the music. My father he dig a ditch.
My mother she do laundry life sure was a bitch.

But soon we killed the white people. Ooh we gun make them hurt.
Kill the white people yea. But buy my record first.
Ooh yea. Why don’t you buy my record?

We sing of freedom and ooh equality.
But we really don’t care we just want money money money.
We want to drive in a big black limosine.
Get so high off ganja we cant even see.
Soon we kill the white people. Ooh we gunna make them hurt.
Kill the white people. Yea. Ooh but buy my record first ooh.

When u go in the record store. We gunna wait outside.
We gunna hit them in the head with a bat and make them cry.
Soon we kill the white people.
Yea but buy my record first.

***Video to be posted later***

Everything is everything regarding The Sanctified Tambourines pimpn...err...De...err...OK

Oh yeah, any cowbell additions should come from her...


...and not him

(he's just a little too into it)

Like Miles Davis said:
“If they act too hip, you know they can’t play shit.”

Did we get clearance from Tyrone Green(E.M.) to do that tune? I think " Kill My Landlord" should be recited, as well

I can't believe I just clicked on this thread for the first time. This shit is hysterical.

Not a problem.
Hiram Bullock...

...might even make a guest appearance to reprise his guitar part.

I'll try and slap together a chart for "Kill My Landlord"

Images
by Tyrone Green

Dark and lonely on a summer's night.
Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.
Watchdog barking. Do he bite?
Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.
Slip in his window. Break his neck.
Then his house I start to wreck.
Got no reason. What the heck?
Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.

C-I-L my land lord!

Yeah, I'd say you Definitely fit right in....

I just heard that The Verge were collaborating with U2's The Edge to do a gospel cover of Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People". Any truth to this rumour?

JediMaster said:

Oprah Winfrey: Good evening everyone. I’m Oprah Winfrey bringing you an exclusive interview with The Verge’s Okaypimpn now known to the public, at least for now, as Roosevelt DeVille. There has been a widespread rumor of the band getting back together to record a cover of Marilyn Manson’s “The Beautiful People” featuring U2’s The Edge. Hello, DeVille, how are you?

Roosevelt DeVille: I’m fine Harpo. How ‘bout yourself?

OW: Just fine. So, getting right to it, are there plans with you and The Verge-

RD: You know what Miss Sophia I’ve got to stop you right there. We seem to be the most talked about and controversial group since The Beatles and I, for one don’t understand why. Don’t take this the wrong way, O, ‘cause I would never do anything to offend your billion dollar money-makin’ self, but all these rumors going around about The Verge are absolutely false. No, we’re not breaking up. No, we’re not recording with The Edge. No we’re not covering Marilyn Manson, but yes we will be sending him one of our Roosevelt DeVille and The Sanctified Tambourines church fans. That cat looks like he could use several of them. You heard it first.

OW: Well, I’m glad that we’ve got that out of the way. So what about-

RD: Oh yeah, and I’m also going to be on the remix to Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot”

OW: Oh really? That’s a club banger I hear.

RD: Yeah, Pharrell and I go way back. He called me up and said that he wanted me to jump on the remix.

OW: Oh, so will you be singing or rapping?

RD: Neither.

OW: Neither?

RD: Yep, neither. You know that break in the song where Snoop is rapping and you just hear the snare tapping?

OW: Yeah.

RD: Pharrell wanted me to bless that part with my tambourine.

OW: Oh.

RD: Yeah, also the keyboard break that Chad is playing is going to be replaced with a sample of The Sanctified Tambourines singing. You know-my choir.

OW: Interesting.

RD: Tell me about it. The altos were still acting like they were scared to sing on the track, but a few shoes to their heads they quickly came around.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of the interview…

Crap! I was really hoping to hear Okaypimpin', pimpin' out the Manson!!!
