BOOT TO THE HEAD
performed by the Frantics
PART I : THE LESSON
MASTER: Approach student, close the circle at the feet of the master You
have come to me asking that I be your guide along the path of Tae Kwon
Leap But, be warned: To learn its ways, you must learn the ways of your
own soul Let us meditate on this wisdom now So: Ohhhhmmmmm
STUDENT1 (Ed Gruberman): Uh, sir! Sir! (Oo!, Oo!) Sir!
MASTER: Who disturbs our meditation, as a pebble disturbs the stillness of
the pond?
EG: Me! Ed Gruberman!
MASTER: E-Ed Gruberman
EG: Yeah, uh, no disrespect or nuthin', but, uh, how long is this gonna take?
MASTER: Tae Kwon Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading
forever towards the horizon
EG: So like, what, an hour or so?
MASTER: No, no, we have not even begun upon the path Ed Gruberman, you
must learn patience
EG: Yeah yeah yeah, patience How long will that take?
MASTER: Time has no meaning To a true student, a year is as a day
EG: A YEAR??? I wanna beat people up right now! I got the pajamas! Yah
yah yah hwoom!
MASTER: 'Beat people up'
EG: Yeah! Just show me all those nifty moves so I can start trashing
bozos! That's all I came here for! YO ASTA STA STA!!! Pretty good, ey?
MASTER: The only use of Tae Kwon Leap is self-defense Do you know who
said that? Ki Lo Ni, the great teacher
EG: Yeah? Well the best defense is a good offense, you know who said
that? Mel, the cook on 'Alice'
MASTER: Tae Kwon Leap is the wine of purity, not the vinegar of
hostility Meditate upon this truth with us Ohmmmmmm
EG: Listen, shrimp! Now are you gonna show me some fancy moves, or am I
gonna start wipin' the walls with you?
MASTER: Ed Gruberman, you fail to grasp Tae Kwon Leap Approach me that
you might see

MASTER: Observe closely, class Boot to the Head! (SH-ZOOMP!)
EG (drunkenly): Owww! You booted me in the head!
MASTER: You are lucky, Ed Gruberman Few novices experience so much of
Tae Kwon Leap so soon

STUDENT2: I want to boot some head, too
MASTER: Have you learned nothing from the lesson of Ed Gruberman?
STUDENT2: Yes, master I have learned two things First, that anger
is a weapon only to one's opponent

(Master throws many Boot-to-the-head's and SH-ZOOMP's, and people are groaning
in pain)
MASTER: And now class, let us rejoin the mind to the body and gaze into
the heart of the candle of meditation
UNISON: Ohhhmmmm
MASTER: Very good, class
