...Lion, a primitive hand puppet. Pookie would "lip-sync" the non-lyrics to Clark Terry's "Mumbles" or break into Johnny Standley's evangelist rant "It's in the Book" or the Animals' version of "(Boom Boom Boom Boom) Gonna Shoot You Right Down," and Sales would madly cavort along, a dervish of prepubescent ecstasy.

...Liverpool lightens up, and Britain brightens, when Beatlemania breaks loose in the early '60s. Guys in leather jackets and girls in plaid jumpers cavort around a Volkswagen car (a Beetle, what else?).
