Bit: Tom Says No to Yes
Episode: 1008- Final Justice
[SOL]
Mike: Hi everyone, Mike Nelson here on the Satellite of
Love. This is Tom Servo, and Tom's got something to say.
Tom: Thank you,
Mike. Mike, folks, in 1984 the techno-megagiant band named
Yes released a song in which they assured us that the
(singing in high-pitched voice) "Owner of a lonely heart is
much better than the owner of a broken heart."
Mike: Yeah, great
song! I remember that one.
Tom: As do we
all, Mike. As do we all. But my point is simply this: They
introduced a profound topic and then barely scratched the
surface. They told me nothing! How does the (singing) "Owner
of a lonely heart" (normal voice) compare to, say, the
(singing) "Owner of a broken gas fireplace?" (Normal voice)
Or for that matter, to the (singing) "Owner of a perfectly
functional cheese slicer?" (Normal voice) As the (singing)
"Owner of a lonely heart" (normal voice) how do I stack up
against the (singing) "Owner of a pencil?" I mean, come on,
Yes!
Mike: I don't
think it's up to Yes to come up with every possible
permutation of--
Tom: Well they
brought it up, Mike, and there's so much more to consider.
What about the (singing) "Owner of a parcel of land in
Montana" (normal voice) versus the (singing) "Owner of a
pie?"
Mike: (to Cambot)
We'll be right back.
Tom: I mean, how
does the (singing) "Owner of a jar" (normal voice) stack up
against the (singing) "Owner of a split level?"
