Act III

SCENE SEVENTEEN
WATERMELON IN EASTER HAY

CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER. Joe has just worked himself into an imaginary frenzy during the fade-out of his imaginary song. He begins to feel depressed now. He knows the end is near. He has realized at last that imaginary guitar notes and imaginary vocals exist only in the mind of the imaginer. And ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway?! Excuse me. Who gives a fuck anyway? So he goes back to his ugly little room and quietly dreams his last imaginary guitar solo.

Notes About This Song

  • As mentioned during "Star Special", FZ as a guest DJ on BBC Radio 1 in 1980, the original name of the track is a bit longer: "And I will now provide you with a piece of information about the title: that's not the complete title of this song. The REAL title of this song is 'Playing A Guitar Solo With This Band Is Like Trying To Grow A Watermelon In Easter Hay'. And that's where it came from."
