The lesson comes in several simple
parts.
First,
I want you to read the lyrics as listed below.
Read them several times, and play
the mp3 with them, or just read them enough you've got the tune solidly
in your head.
Second,
once you think you've got a handle on these lyrics, get into your late-70s
rock'n'roll clothing.
Ideally this is: tight blue jeans
(NOT black, those are more 80s), a white T-shirt or button up shirt with
top half undone, ankle height boots and some jewelry. If you want to go
whole-hog, then get your hair to maximum puffyness by any means necessary.
Third,
get a suitable rock'n'roll prop. It will need to work as a microphone,
microphone stand, guitar and drumstick. Ideally a piece of dowling or border
about 18 inches long.
Fourth,
get in your rock'n'roll stance. This is legs about hip-width apart, knees
slightly bent, hips parallel to audience, or just slightly off, shoulders
and neck slightly slouched (example).
Fifth,
start dancing. Follow the moves in the song, as they are linked in the
lyrics below. I have demonstrated the basics, and to add realism, I have
replaced my non-rock'n'roll face with that of various band members. DO
NOT BE ALARMED.
Good luck, have fun, and do your
best, because THIS IS CANADIAN CULTURE.
Here they
come
The boys
in the bright white sports car
Wavin'
their arms in the air
WHO do
they think they are
And WHERE
did they get that car
There they
go
The boys
in the bright white sports car
honkin
at all the girls
It's Jack-of-all-trades
Stan
And Gerry
the garbage man.
La da da da
La da da da dum
(guitar-
"dun-du-nun-nun-de-nu-nun-de-nu-nunuh" -repeat)
La da da da
La da da da dum
There
they go-ooo-o
The boys
are really rollin'
Some
old lady's called the cops
Said
the car is probably stolen...STOLEN!
(guitar solo)
