description for "I may not have gotten enough sleep lately"

by Cecily
So, the video link is to a really silly cartoon. It's from VeggieTales. In this one, one character (a cucumber) does a very catchy song and dance number about a cebu. Other characters watch. Larry's presentation involves a slide projector. I don't know why I love it so much, but I do.

transcript:



Narrator: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Larry the Cucumber presents, in a sequential image, stereophonic, multimedia event, The Song of the Cebu!

Larry: Cebu! This is a song about a boy ... a song about a little boy and his cebus ... a song about a little boy and his three cebus ... the little boy who had a sick cebu, a sad cebu and a mute cebu. And also a hippo.

[the wrong pictures start showing up on the slide projector; Larry gets distracted by them]

Larry: Um ... um ... this is a picture of me at the airport. This is my Aunt Ruth. This is me at a bullfight. This is me fighting the bull.

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Ohh!

Larry: This is me and the bull.

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Ahh!

Larry: This is me and the bull and ... I think that's the bull's cousin. He's a cebu!

Archibald: Hold it! You call this a multimedia event? This is a slide projector and a bed sheet! And what on Earth is a cebu, anyway?

Larry: It's kind of like a cow. See?

Archibald: Yes. Well, very good. This could be interesting. Carry on!

Larry: Cebu! Sing it with me! Cebu!

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior (singing): Cebu!

Larry: Boy is riding with cebu
Jimmy, Jerry & Junior (echo): Boy is riding with cebu

Larry: Into town in his canoe
Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Into town in his canoe

Larry: Sick cebu is rowing and sneezing. Achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo,
achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo moo moo
Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo,
achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo moo moo

Larry: Hippo chewing on bamboo
Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Hippo chewing on bamboo

Larry: Can't see boy and three cebus
Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Can't see boy and three cebus

Larry: Sad cebu is rowing and crying. Boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo moo moo
Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo moo moo

Larry: Cebu!
Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Cebu!

Larry: Cebu!
Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Cebu!

All: Achoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, achoo moo moo,
achoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, cebu!

Larry: Hippo seen by mute cebu
Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Hippo seen by mute cebu

Larry: Tries to tell the other two
Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Tries to tell the other two

Larry: Mute cebu is waving and grunting. Mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm
mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-
hmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

[slide projector malfunctions: Larry fiddles with equipment during the next part. The background music continues but the next dialogue is all spoken rather than sung]

Larry: Uh-oh.

Archibald: Wait! What happens next?

Larry: Um ...

Archibald: Does the hippo see them? Is the poor mute cebu successful in communicating the imminent danger to the other passengers? Is the boy injured? Why is the sad cebu sad? Is the canoe wood or aluminum?

Larry: Oh look! There's me and Bob at Sea World! Oh, wow. Forgot about that one. There's me and that bull again.

Archibald: You can't just start a song and leave it hanging like that!
You know, I've come to expect a lot more from you. This is quite
disappointing! I'm going to have to speak to Bob about this.

[slide with picture of cebu appears on scree]
Larry: Oh look, a cebu!

[song resumes] Cebu!
Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: Cebu!
Larry (spoken): No, wait ... that's a water buffalo.

Jimmy, Jerry & Junior: No more song about cebu! Need another verse or
two! Audience is standing and leaving, bye-bye moo, bye-bye moo, bye-bye
moo, bye-bye moo moo moo moo
Jimmy (spoken): I want my money back!
Jerry (spoken): Yeah, that'd be ... that'd be good.
