Her producer says, "It's groundbreaking art!" Her keyboard player says, "I don't know where to start." [Nervous Chuckle] Moving on! [Breaking-News Burst] WAIT—THIS JUST IN! [Alarm - Papers Scatter] The notorious DJ Wobblebeard Has released the strangest record we've heard all year! "Bass Drop in a Teapot!" It contains— One banjo! Three kazoos! A didgeridoo!
