SLAPPY INTRO #1 --------------- Y,W,D: The crankiest of creatures in the whole wide world Our next cartton features Slappy the Squirrel! SLAPPY: Ahhh, enough with the singin' already! Y,W,D: That's Slappy! WOODSTOCK SLAPPY ---------------- Written by: JOHN P. McCANN & TOM RUEGGER Director: AUDU PADEN Animation: TOKYO MOVIE SHINSHA LTD. NARRATOR: 1969. As brave American soliders went to battle in Vietnam, back at home demonstrators protested the war. It was a time of flower power, pyschedelic music, student marches, and a nation divided. Which brings us to August 1969 and Slappy Squirrel. {Go Up To The Country} SINGER: Go up to the country Gotta get away Got to leave the city Gotta get away We might even leave the USA... SLAPPY: Ah, here we go, summer in the country. Nothin' but rest and relaxation, right Skippy? SKIPPY: Yeah, groovy, Aunt Slappy, man, groovy. SLAPPY: Skippy, don't talk like that, people will think you had brain surgery. SKIPPY: I can dig it, man, far out. SLAPPY: <*sigh*> I had to get him out of the city, away from all those bad influences. SKIPPY: You mean like peace and love? SLAPPY: Exactly. That stuff will warp ya! {Humouresque (Slappy's theme)} SLAPPY: There is it. Our summer cottage. SKIPPY: Outta sight, man. SLAPPY: Make yourself at home, kiddo. SKIPPY: I can dig it. SLAPPY: <*sigh*> I'll have him speakin' English again in no time. {some 60's rock anthem...} SLAPPY: Knock it off with the Bing Crosby, Stills, and Nash, will ya'? SKIPPY: Why? {Slappy's Theme} SLAPPY: 'Cause the only tune I want to hear is "The Sound of Silence", can you dig that? SKIPPY: I hear ya. SLAPPY: Good. Now let's rest up for tomorrow. SKIPPY: Why? What are we doing tomorrow? SLAPPY: Napping all day if I have anything to say about it. Ah, rest and relaxation at last. {Beautiful Dreamer} <Guitar tuning> M.C.: There is 300,000 of use here today, man! And now Miss Janis Joplin! JANIS JOPLIN: <AUUUUUUGH!> {Piece Of My Heart?} SLAPPY: Oops. Somebody just ran over a dog! For the love of Kaopectate, what's going on? SKIPPY: Something's happening here, What it is, ain't exactly clear. SLAPPY: Well, thank you for that. Hey, you kids, what are you doin'?! Go on, get away from my tree! HIPPIE1:Like, mellow out, you running-dog squirrel. HIPPIE2:Hey, we're here for the Woodstock concert, man. HIPPIE1:Three days of rock from groups like Jefferson Airplane, The Band, The Who, The Grateful Dead... SLAPPY: I'd be grateful, too, if I didn't have to listen to this noise. Now clear out all of ya, go home! Scat! {Animaniacs' theme} SKIPPY: Aunt Slappy, be cool. Let's just go with the flow. SLAPPY: I'm not goin' anywhere with Flo! I want some peace and quiet. SKIPPY: But, Aunt Slappy, man, we're witnessing history. Woodstock. A single event pulling together a whole generation. SLAPPY: A bowl full of prunes would have the same effect. {I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag} COUNTRY JOE McDONALD: And it's two, four, six What am I singing for?

SLAPPY: All right, all of ya', hit the road! Party's over! Go on, shoo! SKIPPY: They're not listening, Aunt Slappy, man, they're tuned into the music! SLAPPY: Well, we'll see about that. Come on. SKIPPY: Where are we going? SLAPPY: To the stage, to put a stop to this. I came to the country for some peace and quiet and I'm gonna get it. {Brand New Key} MELANINE: Who's got a box of brand-new crackers?
