The Muppet Show1976

Lou Rawls:
Animal, you know, you play the drums so good. I mean you take the sticks and you really lay down some great percussion!

Animal:
Percussion! Wha!

Floyd:
Uh, Lou, you sort of have to consider Animal as your basic primitive man. You have to know how to talk to him.

Lou Rawls:
Oh, yeah? Well, how do you tell a guy like that that his work with the sticks is *down*? He can really put some soul in the bowl, you know what I'm saying?

Floyd:
Oh, yeah, well, that's easy. Animal! Good drummer!

Animal:
Good drummer, good drummer, good drummer.

[Animal rubs up against Floyd like a cat]

Lou Rawls:
Well, let me ask you this: you see I've got this long road trip coming up, and I'm short a drummer. You think he'd be interested?

Floyd:
Oh, no, you couldn't take Animal on any long road trips, Lou.

Lou Rawls:
Why not, man? The cat's good.

Floyd:
Aw, you couldn't get a long enough chain!

Animal:
Chain! Chain!

[Animal chews on his chain]

Lou Rawls:
Come on, Floyd. Just let me discuss it with him man to man, okay?

Floyd:
Man to man? This dude don't know Animal! Okay Lou, there's his chain, but let me ask just one favor.

Lou Rawls:
Yeah, baby?

Floyd:
Don't let him chase any cars.

Lou Rawls:
Don't let him chase any *cars*?

Animal:
Car!

[Animal chases after the car, dragging Lou with him]
