Subject: 98-filk:TheStreak I was taking medication with codeine in it, and had this little thing pop into my brain as a dream! It's not exactly a filk in the truest sense of the word, but it's closer that than anything else... Take it with the humour it was intended. It's fun, and definitely not supposed to be in character... Anyone remember the streaking rage back in the 70's? Ray Steven's did a song about it called "The Streak"... If you've ever seen the video, you have your reporter at the scene of various places where the streaker has been, talking to the same hick at each one. His wife figures in it, as does an animated streaker. Here's my codeine-influenced take on it: picture LC as....... the reporter Vachon as... the Streak Nick as..... the interviewee Tracy as.... the partner (rather than wife) now... Here we go... ******** (talking) Hello everyone. This here's your Action News reporter with all the news that is news across the nation at the scene of the supermarket, where there seems to have been a disturbance here. Pardon me, sir. Did you see what happened? Yeeah... I did. I was standin' over there by the tomaters an' here he come, runnin' through the pole beans, through the fruits and vegetables, nekkid as a jay-bird. An' I hollered over to Tracy. I said, "DON'T LOOK, TRACY!". But it was too late. She'd already been in-sensed. (singing: Nick, backup vocals by Nat & Trace) Here he comes (boogida boogida) There he goes (boogida boogida) And he ain't wearin' no clothes! Oh yes they call him the streak (boogida boogida) Fastest thing on two feet (booogida boogida) He's just as proud as he can be, of his anatomy, he's gunna give us a peek! Oh yes they call him the streak (boogida boogida) He likes to show off his physique (boogida boogida) If there's an audience to be found, he'll be streakin' around, invitin' public critique! This is your action news reporter once again and we're here at the gas station. Pardon me, sir. Did you see what happened? Yeeah... I did. I was just in here gettin' muh car checked when he just appeared out of the traffic. He come streakin' around the grease rack. Didn't have nothin' on but a smile. I looked in there and Tracy was gittin' her a cold drink. I hollered "DON'T LOOK, TRACY!" But it was too late. She'd already been mooned. Flashed her right there in front of the shock absorbers. He ain't rude (boogida boogida) He ain't lewd (boogida boogida) He's just in the mood to run in the nude! Oh yes they call him the streak (boogida boogida) He likes to turn the other cheek (booogida boogida) He's always makin the news, wearin just his tennis shoes, yes you could call him unique! Once again this is your Action News reporter in the booth at the gym covering the disturbance at the basketball playoff. Pardon me, sir. Did you see what happened? Yeeah... I did. That time I was just goin' down there to get Tracy a snocone, an here he come, right outta the cheap seats, dribblin'. Right down the middle ah the court. Didn't have nothin' on but his adidas. Made a hoop shot and got out through the concession stand. An' I hollered up at Tracy. I said "DON'T LOOK, TRACY!" But it was too late, she'd already got a free show. Grandstanded right there in front ah the home team. Oh yes they call him the streak (boogida boogida) Here he comes again! Who's that with him? Fastest thing on two feet (booogida boogida) Tracy? Is that you, Tracy? He's just as proud as he can be, WHADDA YOU THINK YER DOIN'? of his anatomy, he's gunna give us a peek! YOU GIT YER CLOTHES ON! Oh yes they call him the streak TRACY! Where're you goin! He likes to show off his physique TRACY YOU SHAMELESS HUSSY! If there's an audience to be found, he'll be streakin' around, invitin' public critique! Say it isn't so, Tracy!!! (starting to fade out) Oh yes they call him the streak Tracyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! (end fade out) ********** Okay... Crazy enough for you? Thanks for reading this bit of whimsy, & I hope you enjoyed it.
