That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs
Don't mis-serve your own needs
Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength
The ladder starts to clatter
With a fear of height, down, height
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
And a government for hire and a combat site
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
With the Furies breathing down your neck
Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh
This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
I feel fine (I feel fine)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
The other night I drifted nice continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right, right
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine) lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group
C.: Well, that’s interesting. I just got an email from Meow Z. Tongue saying that he sent his A.I., Al to come to Earth to try to commandeer all the puppy power on this planet and take it back to POTT-C. However, when Al got into our atmosphere, he heard the awful racket that pierced Meow Z Tongue’s ears and made him leave this planet. Since Al has all of the attributes and sensitivities of Meow, he couldn’t take the noise, either. Al indicated that the noise was coming from the general vicinity of Houston, Texas. Oddly, me and my band were playing and caterwauling, getting ready for our next gig when Al heard the awful noise. I guess I missed hearing the noise again, since my bandmates from the RoCKats and I were playing the first time Meow Z. Tongue heard the awful racket. I guess it’s fortunate for me and my bandmates that we were playing at the time so that we didn’t hear the awful noise, but I am curious to know what caused it.
I would ask my friend and neighbor, d.c. scot if he heard anything, but he’s a little hard of hearing. If the noise could be heard in outer space, though, maybe d.c. heard it. I’ll call him and ask.
d.: (ring) Hello? Oh hi, Cal.E., what’s going on?
C.: Well, I just received an email from the supreme ruler of the Cat Galaxy, Meow Z. Tongue, saying that the world is safe from harm. He had sent his A.I., Al to try to commandeer all the puppy power to power his planet, since it’s running out of power.
d.: Oh, that’s bad.
C.: Yes, it’s even worse than you think. My cousin on the Planet of The Talking Cats said that Meow had used most of the power the planet had to build powerful weapons and overtake other planets. He would mine these planets for their natural resources and then destroy them when he couldn’t get any more use from them. I think he had planned to do the same thing to this planet.
d.: What stopped Meow Z. Tongue and his A.I., Al from coming to earth and mining it for all the puppy pwer and then destroying it?
C.: Well, the first time, Meow heard an awful racket coming from the general vicinity of our neighborhood. It was at the time me and my band, the RoCkats were playing and singing, so I didn’t hear it. Maybe you didn’t either, since you live next door to where we were practicing in my dad’s garage. Our melodious sounds probably drown out the awful racket, fortunately for us.
d.: Er, yes, Cal.E., that must have been it.
C.: Anyway, Meow vowed never to return to earth, because he said that he couldn’t take hearing the awful noise again. However, his home planet is running low on fuel, so he sent his A.I., Al to commandeer all the puppy power on this planet and then destroy it. Fortunately, Al heard the awful noise when he came into earth’s atmosphere, so he turned around and went back home. I suppose his ears are as sensitive as Meow’s are.
Unfortunately, The RoCKats and I were playing at the same time Al heard the awful noise, so I don’t know what it was. What do you think it was, d.c.?
d.: Well, that’s all the time we have for today, folks. Pleas join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.
C.: d.c.? You didn’t answer my question. d.c.?
