Variety Speak versuri

Versuri Animaniacs (OST) – Variety Speak lyrics

In Hollywood, they have a different language that they speak
It’s spoken by those folks who went to school for just one week
It’s found inside Variety, a magazine they use
And no one understands it when they read the movie news

Like „Hix makes pix but the flick needs fix”…
Means someone made a movie that bombed
„The veeps in charge are now at large”…
Means everyone involved is gone
„The plot conflix, no beautiful chix”…
So it’s comin’ out on video soon
„They’re takin’ their licks cause the critics say nix”…
And the editors are gonna try to fix it in the mix

Well, „the stock sees green” on page 13…
Means Disney’s up a nickel a share
„Stallone cuts deal for a major reel”…
Means Rocky Number VI, so beware!
If you want the poop
Or ya need the scoop
On Hollywood Town this week,
You’re gonna have to learn to talk that Variety speak!
Bop-a-doo-bop, a-bop-a-doo-bah,
Bop-a-doo-bop, a-bop-a-doo-bah!

„A boffo-smash makes Warner cash”…
Means there’s gonna be a sequel next year
But „Paramount hurts and they’re losing their shirts”…
Means Schwarzenegger’s doing King Lear
„Oliver Stone does next Home Alone”…
Means he’s gettin’ paid an arm and a leg.
The budget goes „crunch!”
But his name „packs punch”
So they called up the accountants and they’re gonna „do lunch”

Well, „the ratings smile on the O.J. trial”…
Means a movie of the week to premiere
„Universal cuts deal with Mr. Spiel”…
To do a hundred thousand movies a year!
You gotta play it smart
If y’wanna be part
Of the crowd that’s hip and chic!
You’re gonna have to learn to talk that Variety speak!
Bop-a-doo-bop, a-bop-a-doo-bah,
Bop-a-doo-bop, a-bop-a-doo-bah!

Normal talk makes producers walk
You might as well speak Greek
You’re gonna have to learn
Or the meeting will adjourn
Unless, my friend, you learn that Variety speak!
Bop-a-doo-bop, a-bop-a-doo-bah,
Bop-a-doo-bop, a-bop-a-doo-bah!
Bop, doo, bop, doo, bop, doo, bah, dah!
