5. Floyd's Infinite Playlist
After finally checking out of their hotel in New York the morning after their latest concert there, Dr. Teeth and The Electric headed back onto their bus and on the road again. This time, to Palm Beach, Florida. The band didn't have anything to worry about, though. They were able to play through any sort of weather. Yes, even hurricanes can't hurt the mighty Muppet rock band.Although, boredom on the bus wasn't too much for them to complain about, really. Dr. Teeth had to focus on driving on the road, but did stop in between to gas up or find the cheapest hotel on the road for the band to stay at for the night to rest. Zoot almost always slept on the bus. Animal always either stuck his head out the window to let the wind play with his tongue (Like a dog does), play his spare drum set or sleep. Janice was the most preoccupied, with either playing her acoustic guitar, reading the latest issues of "Seventeen", "Cosmopoliton", or "Rolling Stone," listening to her IPod, or sleeping. Floyd always listened to his IPod (unless it died, so he'd use Animal's) on long trips like this. Listening to his IPod always gave him ideas on what songs he think he should cover sooner or later.
On this "million hour trip" to Palm Beach, the band has already been on the road for two hours, doing their usual stuff. Floyd was already tuned into his IPod, when Janice tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey, Floyd," Janice said sweetly. Floyd then took out one of his earphones and set his IPod on pause. Usually, he'd ignore people whenever he's listening to his IPod. Janice was the only one he'd never ignore. "Oh, hey babe," he responded. "What's up?" "Like I'm kinda bored," Janice said. "My IPod is dead, my brain doesn't feel like playing guitar right now, and I've read all three mags at least like 5 times."
Floyd let Janice sit next to him and put an arm around her. "I guess you can always listen to my IPod with me," he said, giving Janice one of the ear buds. "But you like never let anyone listen to your IPod," she said, puzzled. "You're the only exception," he chuckled. "Because I love you." Janice smiled and gave Floyd a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thanks, babe," she said after. She then placed the ear bud into her ear and laid her head on his shoulder.
"Can like I scroll through your playlist?" she asked. "Sure," Floyd replied, giving and entrusting Janice with his beloved IPod. "I've got a couple of them, though." Janice obviously was well aware about his "Beatles" playlist. His favorite were always "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Act Naturally" (the second one, Janice and Floyd covered when the Muppets were doing their tribute to the movies.). She then got to his "Songs I Hope To Cover In The Future" playlist. "Let's see...." Janice said as she went through the list. "Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day, I Don't Wanna Be by Gavin DeGraw, Uptown Girl by Billy Joel, Come On Get Higher by Matt Nathanson, Never Too Late by Three Days Grace......wow those are a lot." "I know," he replied. "And yet I've got so many more I wanna cover."
"You rully want a solo career, do you, Floyd?" Janice wondered. "Yes and no," he responded. "It'd be a great opportunity for me to have...but then you guys would all get mad at me and stuff if I get more attention than all of us. This band is equal in fame, and I think I want it to stay that way. I mean we're all in it for the music, not the fame and fortune." Janice couldn't agree more. Even though Animal has actually been getting more attention than the band, lately, it didn't really bother them so much. It's Animal. He doesn't really know the first thing about having a solo career. All he just really wants to do is play drums, eat, and get women, not so much have fame and fortune. Getting more attention than the rest of the band didn't even seem to bother Animal so much. If it was Floyd, Janice or even Zoot....then the band thinks there would be some issues.
"Did you find the third playlist yet?" Floyd asked. "Which playlist?" Janice wondered. "You're gonna think it's ridiculous..." he started. "But I made a playlist with songs......that always made me think of you." Janice then got to the playlist entitled "Songs That Make Me Think of Janice." She blushed a little, but she blushed even harder when she saw what songs were on there. "Oh wow...." Janice said. "You and Me by Lifehouse, Hold On by Michael Buble, If Everyone Cared by Nickelback, Your Body's A Wonderland by John Mayer, Say by John Mayer, Half of My Heart by John Mayer featuring Taylor Swift........Floyd, you're a John Mayer fan, too?" Floyd blushed and replied "Go ahead and shoot me, babe. I'm going to be honest here. I'm a huge John Mayer fan. I love his music." "But there's like a huge difference between you and John Mayer," Janice said. Floyd chuckled, knowing the answer, but asked "What?" anyways. She then brought her arm that was on his neck down to his waist and replied "He's not a lover. You are." Floyd then gave a loving kiss on Janice's lips. After kissing her, he responded "And I can keep a longer romantic relationship than he can." The two laughed at Floyd's comment.
"Maybe I could like show you the songs on my IPod sometime," Janice said. "I think that'd be great, baby doll," Floyd responded, giving her another kiss on the cheek. The bus then stopped. "Hey guys!" Dr. Teeth yelled from the front. "We're here!" Zoot then woke up, asking "We're in Palm Beach already?" "No man," Dr. Teeth responded. "We're at the hotel we're gonna stop over at tonight. Let's grab the bags and check in." "GRAB BAGS! GRAB BAGS!" Animal yelled, rushing out of the bus and into the hotel. "Animal!" Dr. Teeth and Zoot said as they ran after Animal. Dr.Teeth and Zoot knew Floyd was too busy with Janice, so they didn't bother asking him to help grab Animal.
"How 'bout tonight after your IPod's done charging? I can meet you in your hotel room after dinner." Floyd asked as he lead Janice off the bus. "Fer sure!" Janice replied, happily. "Can't wait!"
-------------------------------------------THE END-----------------------------------------------------
Ehhh....I got lazy with the end. But I will do a Janice's Infinite Playlist next........just not tonight. Maybe tomorrow. Also, I could've done better song choices for Floyd, but those were the only ones on the top of my head that didn't seem too ridiculous.
Next one will be up soon (I'm juggling this and Survival Of The Muppets).
