(Skippy, dapper in his tuxedo, stands in front of a respectably-sized orchestra, dressed in the Mambo style, with those frilly sleeves. Skippy takes up his baton and leads his orchestra in an introduction with a distinctly Latin flavor. As the orchestra plays, a conga line of rodents merrily snakes around the dance foor, while singing: ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") (Skippy, the lead singer steps up to a large, wonderfully art deco microphone and begins to sing: Dohenyyy... ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") Cahuengaaa... ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") La Breaaa... ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") ...Tar Pits! ("Pico and Sepulveda...") ("Tar Pits!") La Jollaaa... ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") Sequoiaaa... ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") La Breaaa... ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") ...Tar Pits ("Pico and Sepulveda...") ("Tar Pits!") You can keep Alvarado, Santa Monica, even Beverly Drive. Vine may be fine, but for mine, I want to Feel A-live! And settle down in my La Breaaaa... ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") ...Tar Pits! ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") Where nobody's dreams Come true... ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") (Somebody pulls a cord, and balloons, confetti and streamers shower down on Skippy's orchestra and the dancing rodents. A banner is lowered into position: DANCING RODENTS - OR CONGA-RATS, IF YOU WILL - TO BIG AND THE FML FOR TWENTY TERRIFIC YEARS !!) You can keep Alvarado, Santa Monica, even Beverly Drive. Vine may be fine, but for mine, I want to Feel A-live! And settle down in my La Breaaaa... ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") ...Tar Pits! ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") Where nobody's dreams Come... Truuuuuuuuuuuue... ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") ("Pico and Sepulveda... Pico and Sepulveda...") And here's to twnety more years!
