Summer may be ending, but that's no reason why I can't do a camp-based story this late.

I should also point out I know nothing about band camp, so please forgive anything that might seem inaccurate about band camp.

Chapter 1

A big crowd was at band camp. Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem were at the camp's amphitheater. Dr. Teeth took the stage.

"Howdy ho, all you band seekers out there! This is Dr. Teeth, and welcome to a week of Electric Mayhem Band Camp!"

The crowd cheered. Well, except for a small group of people in the audience.

"Electric Mayhem Band Camp?", said one of them, "I thought this was Aerosmith Band Camp."

"No, that's the band camp next door", said Floyd.

The small group of Aerosmith fans left.

"For those of you groovy folks who intended on going to Electric Mayhem Band Camp, you'll enjoy a rockin' and rollin' week of music classes from each member of The Electric Mayhem!", said Dr. Teeth.

"Did you say rockin' and rollin'?", asked a member of the audience.

"Yes, I did", said Dr. Teeth.

"So you don't do rap?"

"or emo?", said another member of the audience.

"Not primarily, no", said Dr. Teeth.

"Let's get out of here", said the emo fan. The rap fan followed.

"Anyway, I'm Dr. Teeth, I will teach you to play the keyboard."

"I'm Floyd, and I'll teahc you to play bass and also how to be hip!"

"I'm, like, Janice, and I'll, like teach you to play the guitar, fer sure, rully!"

A select number of males in the audience cheered wildly.

Zoot was caught napping.

"Hey, wake up, Zoot!", said Dr. Teeth.

"Wh-wh-whaaa...?", said Zoot, waking up.

"He's Zoot", said Janice, "he'll, like, teach you how to play the saxophone."

"As long as he stays awake", laughed Floyd.

Zoot started dozing off again. Lips blew a loud trumpet solo into his ear, waking Zoot up.

"That's Lips", said Dr. Teeth, "he'll absotively-posolutely teach you to be a great trumpeteer!"

"But, like, don't be surprised if you hear his trumpet more than his voice", said Janice.

Animal then started drumming and screaming wildly. The audience cheered wildly.

"And that is our main man Animal", said Dr. Teeth, "he'll teach you how to play drums!"

Clifford then walked on stage.

"And I'm Clifford. They asked me to work with Animal."

"That's usually my duty", said Floyd, "but I'll be busy teaching how to play the bass."

"Anyway", said Dr. Teeth, "at the end of the week, those who pass will get to perform with us on stage."

"We'll also have a band hike as well", said Janice, "before the big performance, fer sure!"

"Anyway", said Dr. Teeth, "we will each form a line. Get in the line of the instrument you want to learn to play."

The six musicians formed their lines.... and the majority of the campers got in Animal's line.

"Looks like everybody wants to play the drums", said Floyd.

One camper got in Floyd's line.

"I'd like to sign up", said the camper.

"Wow, finally, somebody who wants to learn to play bass guitar!"

"Bass guitar?"< said the camper, "I was hoping this was the line for drums. After all, it's an empty line."

"Drums is in the really long line",s aid Floyd.

"Oh, dang it", said the camper.

"Don't worry, Floyd", said Walter, "I'll sign up to learn from all of you."

"That's nice", said Floyd, "I hope Animal doesn't get more than he can handle. It looks like he'll get the most students."

"Well, I saw some of the most hardcore fans in Lips' line", said Walter, "and there's a good crowd of guys in Janice's line."

"So will we be going swimming with you. Janice?", said one of the guys in line.

"And will your bathing suit be one-piece or two?"

"Will it be strapless?"

"Will you be swimming naked?"

Animal was getting soem female students.

"WOMAN! WOMAN!"

Clifford struggled to get a grip on Animal's chain.

"No, Animal! You're here to teach, not chase women!"

Animal started growling at Clifford.

Chapter 2

It was time for Animal to teach a drumming class. Only he was focused on the female students.

"WOMAN! WO-MAN!"

"Not now, Animal", said Clifford, holding onto Animal's chain, "You are supposed to teach drumming, not hit on the la... Oh, hello, there!"

Animal pounded on Clifford.

"I SAW FIRST!"

"Oh, I wish I was Floyd", said Clifford, "he's better at handling you."

Animal then went behind his drum set.

"DRUM LIKE THIS!", shouted Animal as he beat his drums. The students followed, hitting the drums the same way.

Janice was teaching her students.

"Okay, like, when you hold the guitar, hold it like this..."

She noticed that her students heads were tilted down, looking not quite at the guitar, not quite at her eyes.

"Uh, I think you all might need to see the camp doctor", said Janice, "it looks like you all have some kind of neck injury."

Zoot was teaching his only student, Walter. The two were playing the saxophone, Zoot was playing well while Walter struggled.

"No, no, no", said Zoot, "like this".

Then Zoot played a great piece.

"Oh, okay", said Walter, "let me try."

Walter played the same note, only very flatly.

Zoot covered his ears.

"Maybe if we did one note at a time", said Walter.

So Zoot blew a note, then Walter blew a note... Which for just one note sounded very awful.

"I have a better idea, Zoot. Just play."

Zoot blew a note, followed by Walter whistling that note, then Zoot blew another note, and Walter whistled it, and so on.

Later, Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Janice, and Zoot got together at the staff lounge.

"Well, I didn't get any students besides Walter", said Dr. Teeth, in a sad tone.

"Walter is my only student, too", said Floyd, "and it looks like it'll take more than a week for him to learn the bass."

"Or the guitar", said Janice.

"Or the keyboard", said Dr. Teeth.

"It looks like my students are incapable of moving their heads up", said Janice, "I rully hope their necks get better when I take them swimming. And with the exception of Walter they seem more interested in watching me swim than play guitar."

Kermit the Frog then showed up.

"Hi ho, everyone!", said Kermit, "how'd band camp going?"

"We're not getting many students", said Floyd.

"Most of the campers are most interested in learning drums from Animal", said Janice.

"Though Lips has a fair amount of hardcore fans learning from him", said Zoot.

"I thought each of us would get to teach more", said Dr. Teeth.

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that", said Kermit.

"If I knew Walter would be my only student I wouldn't have asked Clifford to keep Animal under control", said Floyd.

"Well, I have to go check on Gonzo's stunt camp", said Kermit, who left.

The band members wondered along.

"At least I'll have plenty of time to sleep", said Zoot.

"Like, maybe we should all just be happy for Animal", said Janice.

Some bugs started flying at them.

"Will these pesky bugs go away?", asked Floyd.

"Good thing I'm wearing ym hat", said Dr. Teeth.

"Maybe we should get Animal a hat", said Floyd.

Animal was then running by, screaming and hitting at his head.

"BAD BUGS! BAD BUGS! BAD BUGS!", screamed Animal.

Bunsen and Beaker suddenly showed up.

"Did I hear you were having a bug problem?", asked Bunsen.

"Like, what camp site doesn't?", asked Janice.

"Then you'll need to try Muppet Labs Insect Repellent. Beaker is covered with bugs right now so I can demonstrate."

Beaker was screaming as all kinds of bugs were attacking him.

Bunsen pointed a fire extinguisher at Beaker.

"Just point the repellent extinguisher and...."

Bunsen pressed a button, spraying Beaker and covering him with liquid foam.

"Mee mee mee meee...", said Beaker, feeling confused.

The various bugs ran out from under the foam.

"And there you have it", said Bunsen.

The foam then dried up, making Beaker unable to move. Bunsen snickered.

"I don't know if we really need that", said Dr. Teeth.

"We'll talk it over", said Floyd.

The foam Beaker was covered in now made him look like a Beaker-shaped snowman. Animal put a carrot on his nose and laughed.

Chapter 3

It was morning and Lips blew the trumpet fanfare to wake up the campers. And the staff.

"Whoa, like, I'm not ready to wake up", said Janice.

"Well, I guess we need to get up early so we can teach.... Nothing", said Floyd.

Lips continued playing, longer than he should have.... And then Animal ran out and ate the trumpet.

"Hey! That's mine!", said Lips.

"NO WAKE-UP! NO WAKE-UP!", shouted Animal.

Dr. Teeth, Floyd, and Janice were in line for breakfast.

"I sure wonder what we're having for breakfast", said Floyd.

They then saw The Swedish Chef cooking.

"On secodn thought, I think I'll skip breakfast", said Floyd.

"Fer sure!", said Janice.

Animal then ran past then, cutting in line.

"BREAKFAST! BREAKFAST!"

As Animal shouted he ate all of the breakfast items and the counter.

"No, Animal!"< said Dr. Teeth.

"Those are for the campers!", said Floyd.

"They were for us, too", said Janice.

"Not that we want to eat them", said Floyd.

The Swedish Chef yelled at Animal in swedish.

"Oh, SOR-RY!", said Animal, who then swiped The Swedish Chef's hat with his teeth and ran.

"HEY! Duts mu hoot!", said The Swedish Chef, chasing after Animal.

Clifford came by.

"I',m sorry about Animal's behavior", said Clifford, "I don't know how you do it, Floyd."

"Well, since I've only got one student I might as well keep Animal under control in his teachings", said Floyd.

"Oh, thank you", said Clifford, "Thank you!"

It was time for Zoot to teach Walter to play the saxophone.

"Hey, Zoot, I got some great news", said Walter, "I found somebody else who wants you to teach them the sax!"

"Oh really, who?", said Zoot.

It was Mahna Mahna, who played a saxophone rendition of Mahna Mahna.

Zoot gave a "good grief" expression on his face.

Janice and her class was at the lake, Janice dressed in a bikini.

"Like, I know you all want to swim with me, but, like, it's hard to swim and play the guitar at the same time", said Janice.

"We don't care about the swimming that much", said one camper, "just that you're dressed to swim."

"Well, like, if you all do a good enough job we can go swimming for the last five minutes, fer sure!"

Floyd was watching Animal teach his class to play drums.

"Well, Animal is a better teacher than I expected", thought Floyd.

Rowlf came by.

"Hey, Floyd, how's it going?", asked Rowlf.

"Oh, Rowlf, what brings you here?", asked Floyd.

"A cameo opportunity", said Rowlf, "so how's the teaching going?"

"It's a bummer, man", said Floyd, "hardly anybody wants to learnt o play the bass..."

"I DO!", yelled Animal.

"What?", asked Floyd.

"I WANT PLAY BASS!"

"But what about your class?", asked Floyd.

"CLASS PASS! CLASS PASS!"

"Already?", asked Rowlf.

"Oh, hi, Rowlf", said Animal in a more calm manner.

Floyd looked to the students.
"Hey, you hip cats, according to your teacher, you have all passed."

The students cheered and played their drums wildly.

"QUIET! QUIET!"< yelled Floyd, "anyway, there's still a few days left, so if anybody wants to learn to play another instrument, the rest of us all have open spots available for learning."

"Uh, Floyd", said Rowlf, "Lips said he can't teach anymore, Animal ate his trumpet."

"Well, I've got a spare trumpet he can use", said one of the drumming students, "I got some drool on it, but it's still playable."

Chapter 4

It was the evening before the last day of camp. All of The Electric Mayhem was sitting around a camp fire as the sun was setting.

"What a beautiful sun set", said Janice.

"Yeah, it sure is groovy", said Dr. Teeth.

"Well, this week turned out great", said Floyd, "we've all gotten our students after all."

"Yeah, and Walter's gotten better at learning the instruments", said Dr. Teeth.

Walter then came in as a one-man band, pushing akeyboard with a drum on top, a saxophone and a trumpet tied to his neck so he can alternate on those instruments, and a guitar and bass guitar strapped around his body. He was playing horrible.

"Hey, Walter! Walter!", shouted Dr. Teeth.

Walter stopped.

"What is it, Dr. Teeth?", asked Walter.

"Look, I know you've improved on your playing", said Dr. Teeth, "but I think when our students perform with us tomorrow, you should just stick to whistling."

At first Walter looked disappointed, but then perked up: "Okay!"

"And Animal is good at the bass", said Floyd.

Animal played the bass very loudly and wildly, and then started slamming the bass onto the ground and hitting trees with it.

"Animal! Cool it!", said Floyd.

"We must preserve nature!", said Janice.

Animal then started eating his bass.

"Uh, Animal", said Floyd, "even though you've mastered the bass, I think when we perform tomorrow you should stick to drumming."

"Fer sure!"

Sam the Eagle then stopped by, dressed in a rangers hat and neckerchief, and holding a clipboard.

"Okay, this camp is shut down!", said Sam.

"Like, what legal right do you have to shut us down?", said Janice.

"I am now an official park inspector", said Sam.

"I thought you were running your own culture camp", said Dr. Teeth.

"Yeah, what happened to that?", asked Floyd.

"Nobody signed up for it", said Sam, "so I took on the job of inspector, and I have a right to shut down any parkt hat's uncultural and uncivilized, and your camp is definitely NOT fit for a camp!"

"But, like, our students are supposed to perform tomorrow night", said Janice.

"If it's rock and roll, they're better off missing out!", said Sam.

"We're also supposed to take the campers on a hike before the big performance", said Floyd.

Sam remarked, "I don't c....", then had a change of heart, "a hike?"

"Yeah", said the band members.

"Plenty of nature", said Janice.

"Plenty of exercise", said Dr. Teeth.

"Hiking is a great all-American camping pasttime", said Sam, "Okay, you can stay open!"

"YAY!", said The Electric Mayhem.

"And remember to stay safe!", said Sam.

Gonzo then fell in from the sky and landed on Sam.

"Wow, that was the greatest stunt from my stunt camp!", said Gonzo.

Sam got up, putting his hat back on.

"Oh, Gonzo", said Sam, "I'm going to visit your stunt camp tomorrow, and I have a right to shut it down."

"I'd rather you shut it up", said Gonzo.

The Electric Mayhem chuckled.

"Wait", said a confused Sam, "where's my clippboard? I can't shut things down without my clipboard!"

Animal was then finishing up on eating the clipboard. Animal chuckled, but then started choking.

"Oh no!", said Floyd, "Animal's choking!"

"I'll help him!", said Dr. Teeth, who gave Animal the Heimlich maneuver.

After screezing on Animal's chest for a few seconds, Animal spit out a whole trumpet.

"My old trumpet!", exclaimed Lips.

Chapter 5

It was the next day and time for the big hike.

"Okay, all you hip students, it's time for the hike!", yelled Dr. Teeth into a megaphone.

"Oh, I am so excited", said an excited Walter, "although I had been having trouble balancing between Electric Mayhem Band Camp and the other camps."

"Well, anyway...", said Dr. Teeth before noticing, "wait, what other camps?"

"Well, there's this camp, Gonzo's stunt camp, Fozzie's comedy camp, Wayne and Wanda's singing camp...."

"Okay, then", said Dr. Teeth, about to make an announcement before getting interrupted by Walter continuing hi slist of camps he's been balancing out being at.

"....The Newsman's news camp, Crazy Harry's explosion camp, Uncle Deadley's scary camp, Big Mean Carl's big mean camp..."

Dr. Teeth asked, "Are you d...?"

"...Scooter's nepotism camp, Sweetums' getting-left-behind camp..."

Dr. Teeth grew bored, "I think I get your p..."

"I can't believe I didn't know about Sam the Eagle's culture camp."

"ANYWAY!", shouted Dr. Teeth (and shutting Walter up), "we will be going on a hike before you all get the opportunity to perform on stage to your families and such."

"This will be a great opportunity for you all", said Floyd.

"OPP-OR-TUN-ITY!", yelled an excited Animal.

"Animal", said Floyd, "you've already had many great opportunities."

"Anyway, let's start hiking!", said Dr. Teeth.

"LET'S! LET'S!", yelled Animal.

Everybody started hiking. Walter whistled the tune of "Can You Picture That".

"That's nice whistling, Walter", said Janice, "do you know Rockin' Robin?"

"Of course he does", said Floyd, "he knows all the Muppet songs."

Two of the campers started hitting each other and bickering.

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey!", said Floyd, "I don't know what you two are arguing about, but you need to stop it!"

"Yeah!", said Animal in a threatening tone.

"And where did you learn such behavior, anyway?", asked Janice.

They then heard Zoot and Lips bickering.

"Am not!", said Lips.

"Are too!", said Zoot.

"Am not!", said Lips.

"Are..."

"Hey, hey, you two", said Dr. Teeth, "we've get to set an example."

"Do not!", said Lips.

"Do too!", said Dr. Teeth.

"Do not!"

"Do t...Uh, never mind. Let's keep hiking!"

They came across two directions.

"Let's go that way", said Floyd.

"But the sign for that way says 'short cut'", said a camper.

"Yeah, but the sign also has a warning for poison ivy", said Floyd.

"POISON IVY!", yelled Animal, who ran into the short cut area.

"Animal, no!", said Floyd, "well, it looks like I've got to risk poison ivy. The rest of you go the other way."

"We'll see you later!", said Dr. Teeth.

They hiked longer.

"Like, this must be a rully long way", said Janice, "My feet are rully getting tired."

"And it looks like Zoot got tired, too", said Walter, "campers are walking all over Zoot."

"Hey, campers!", shouted Dr. Teeth, "watch where you walk!"

"You should watch behind you", said a camper.

Dr. Teeth turned around and saw a scary-looking bear, who let out a very scary roar.

Everybody screamed and ran in the other direction... Only to run into a scary panther. They screamed again.

"We could run that way", said Janice, pointing to another direction. They ran.

"I absotively posilutely didn't know camping would be this dangerous", said Dr. Teeth.

Lips tripped over a wire, fell, and got caught in a net.

"HELP!", yelled Lips.

"We'll help you after we help ourselves", said Janice.

They then encountered a giant spider (the same one from Raquel Welch's opening number).

Most of the campers ran off, while Dr. Teeth, Janice, Zoot, and Walter were cornered by the spider, bear, and panther.

Chapter 6

So Dr. Teeth, Janice, Zoot, and Walter were all cornered by a scary-looking bear, a panther, and the giant spider.

"Like, what do we do?", said Janice.

Dr. Teeth looked at the giant spider, "I've got an idea!"

Dr. Teeth took out a spray can of Muppet Labs Insect Repellent and sprayed it onto the spider, bear, and panther, covering them with foam and making them frozen as if they were stuck in cement.

Wow!", said Walter, "saved by the Chekov's Gun!"

"Let's get out of here, fer sure!", said Janice.

Floyd and Animal soon came by.

"We heard screaming", said Floyd.

"SCREE-MING! SCREE-MING!", yelled Animal.

"Animal and I also caught poison ivy. I hope it's a fast-healing poison ivy."

"Well, the other campers are now missing", said Walter.

"Looks like Lips is missing, too", said Floyd.

Lips then fell on Floyd from above.

"That's not good", said Dr. Teeth, "now Lips has Floyd's poison ivy."

Floyd and Lips got up off the ground.

"Man, Lips", said Floyd, "How'd you get stuck up th..."

Floyd then stopped talking as they all heard the sound of a boulder rolling. They turned around, and saw that it was a boulder rolling... Into their direction.

"Let's run!", said Dr. Teeth.

They all ran from it. Eventually...

"Why don't we all just split up and run out of the boulder's way?", asked Walter.

So they all did and the boulder was no longer following them. They all then got back together.

"That was some good thinking, Walter my man!", said Floyd.

"Maybe we should, like, split up and find all the missing campers", said Janice.

"Positively!", said Dr. Teeth.

"Hey, does anyone else feel smaller?", asked Floyd.

"I don't want to be any shorter", said Walter.

"Now that you mention it", said Janice, "I do feel like I'm growing down, fer sure."

They all looked down and saw they were sinking into quick sand, and they all screamed.

Chapter 7

The band and Walter were sinking in quicksand.

"I can't belieive my life is ending", said Walter, "there's so many things I haven't done. I may never live to see The Muppet Show: Season 4 on DVD, I might never get a repainted Dr. Teeth figure, I'll never see the recently-found long-lost Cinderella pilot..."

"I wonder if we'll have a happy ending", said Janice.

"Yeah, maybe the campers will show up and save us", said Floyd.

"Or maybe an outsider will come along and save us", said Dr. Teeth.

"Maybe this will all end up being a dream", said Janice.

"Maybe the quicksand won't be so deep", said Floyd.

Everyone then turned their heads to Lips and, in unison, asked, "What do you think, Lips?"

Lips just gave a puzzled look on his face.

"HUNGRY! HUNGRY!", yelled Animal.

"Hey, Animal", said Floyd, "why don't you try eating the quick sand?"

Animal then proceeded to eat the quick sand.

"You know", said Walter, "I was in a similar situation at Crazy Harry's explosions camp. Luckily, I was saved by the fact that Crazy Harry had land mines in all of the quick s..."

Just then an explosion occurred and they were all blasted out of the quick sand pit.

"Hey, we're flying!", said Dr. Teeth, "we're The Electric Mayhem in the Sky with Diamonds!"

The band soon fell to the ground, right in front of the missing campers.

"Wow, you all are super heroes!", said one of the campers.

"Well, I think it's time for us to walk back and start our concert", said Floyd.

"Hey, I can't find my hat", said Zoot.

"It's on your head", said Floyd.

"Oh, yeah", said Zoot.

Chapter 8

The big concert was about to start. While getting ready...

"It's a good thing the poison ivy I caught was a rare type that's quick and easy to cure", said Floyd.

"yeah", growled Animal.

"Well, I guess I'll introduce you", said Clifford.

The crowd cheered in anticipation. Clifford came on-stage, and the audience went dead silent, save for a cricket sound.

"Hi, you cool cats and kittens. I'm Clifford, and this is the final night for Electric Mayhem Band Camp."

Statler and Waldorf were in the audience.

"Band camp?", said Statler, "I thought this was Hecklers Camp."

"Well, we need to heckle something", said Waldorf.

"And it could be worse", said Statler.

"What do you mean?", asked Waldorf.

"We could have ended up at that bear's comedy camp."

The two shivered.

Clifford continued his introduction.

"Anywho, let's hear it up for Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem!"

The crowd started cheering again as the band began to play.

First, Dr. Teeth, Floyd, and Janice sang lead vocals on "Downtown". Then Dr. Teeth and Floyd sang "Out of Touch". The Janice sang solo on "Let Me Be the One" to wild applause from the men in the audience.

"Take it off, Janice!", said one of the guys in the audience.

"But if I take off my guitar I can't play", said Janice.

Then Zoot took the stage, playing a saxophone solo, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes".

Then Dr. Teeth lead the band in a performance of "Power of Love".

Janice then sang "Since You've Been Gone".

"And now", said Floyd, "here's a drum solo from Animal!"

Animal did a wild drum solo... And soon switched to playing the bass. The audience loved it.

"Show off", said Floyd.

Clifford then went on-stage.

"I can play the bass, too", said Clifford, "Do you feel like a bass battle?"

"I certainly do", said Floyd.

So Floyd and Clifford did a bass battle, and Animal soon joined in.

"It'll be hard to determine who's the best at playing the bass", said Statler.

"Unfortunately", said Waldorf.

Statler and Waldorf laughed.

Walter then joined in the bass guitar battle, and he played fair but not as good as the others. Floyd, Clifford, and Animal gave Walter an awkward stair, the audience didn't react, and Walter left the stage awkwardly.

Zoot and Lips then did an instrumental rendition of "When the Saint's Come Marching In". Walter soon joined them by whistling the tune. The audience loved it.

"Hmm", thought Walter, "maybe I should stick to whistling."

Floyd then performed "New York State of Mind".

Animal then played "Mahna Mahna", shouting the name while Floyd and Janice did the "doo doo, doo doo doo" parts.

Then Dr. Teeth sang a little of "Spinning Wheel".

Janice then sang "So Far Away".

Lips then performed Chuck Mangione's "Feels So Good".

Dr. Teeth then lead the band in "You Can't Take No for an Answer".

Floyd and Janice then sang "This Land is Made for You and Me", followed by Floyd's solo, "My Generation".

Zoot then performed an instrumental rendition of "Yakkity Yak".

Finally, Dr. Teeth lead the band in a rendition of "Band on the Run".

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, it's the part you've been waiting for", said Dr. Teeth, "the main point of you learning to perform from the best. That's right, students, it's time for you all to come up on stage and perform with one of the greatest and most positively grooviest bands of all time!"

So the students came up... Most of them bringing drums and overcrowding the stage.

"And now let's hit it!", said Dr. Teeth.

The band and students performed, but all of the drumming from scores of drumming students drownded out The Electric Mayhem's performance.

"CAN'T HEAR MYSELF DRUM!", yelled Animal.

Walter was hitting the drums and whistling at the same time. Then he got out a bass guitar and played, then got out a regular guitar and played, then played the saxophone, then trumpet, then moved over to a keyboard and played.

"I know I said I'd stick to whistling", said Walter, "but with all this drumming, any bad playing won't be heard. Of course, the same goes for any good playing."

The drumming got so hard that it broke down the stage. Everybody stopped.

"Well, good night, everybody!", said Dr. Teeth.

Later that night...

"Well, it's a good thing insurance is paying for the stage", said Dr. Teeth.

"It always helps when we don't tell the insurance companies about Animal", said Floyd.

"Fer sure", said Janice.

"And we've made over $30,000 dollars!", said Dr. Teeth.

"I'll take THAT!", said a man ina business suit,

"Hey, who are you?", said Dr. Teeth.

"And why are you dressed so squarely?", asked Floyd.

"I am the IRS man", said the IRS man, "and I have to take half of the profits you make."

"But that's, like, more than half our profits", said Janice, "that's all of our profits."

"I know", said the IRS Man, "but I'm taking it all because there wasn't an open spot for me to be in your band camp. See ya!"

Gonzo then fell on the IRS man from above.

"What an unbelievable stunt!", said Gonzo.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Gonzo", said the IRS man, "I have to take your profits from your stunt camp."

"But you've got to CATCH me first!", said Gonzo, who then ran.

The IRS man started chasing after Gonzo, but Animal got in the way and sprayed the IRS man with the Muppet Labs Insect Repellent.

The End
