Babe, if you want to get down, you

Too hot for you? Then stay cool
with the baddest sound in town.
This is KGYS, where
the music's always the best.
News and weather at 8,
so don't be late,
'cause you ain't got the news
'til you got it straight from KGYS.

Get right tonight.
Tonight's the night:

''Howard's Grand Casino and
Rib Shack''. Be there, or be square!
Dnly 3 pair of tickets left,
and l got 'em in my hot little hand!

'cause they're no good

Good morning.
Here's Billy Bass with the news.

You don't know what you have to

Just shut up, DK?
- Don't tell me to shut up!
You shut up!
Hey Dtis, is Mona here?
She's late as usual, T.C.
All right!
Today we got the big three.

- Dn the fight?
Stand and deliver, honey!
Sweet, sexy thing!

- What's happenin', baby?
l don't think l know that one.
- Lay back, baby.
Catch you later.
T.C., l ain't heard nothin'
about the Fly in a while.
That's how it is with the Fly.
He just lays back and checks the buzz.
Hear the cry? ls it a bird, is it
a plane? No, dude, it's the Fly!
Check this out.
You ain't seen nothin' yet.
Put your heart in my hand, honey!
Look out, Mr. Clean!
- Now hear this:
l believe it's exactly
2 minutes, 11 seconds to opening.
Thanks. Keep the change.
You've probably noticed, l ain't
got nothing against you people.
l ain't got nothing against no people.
We need more love in the world.
l don't know about marriage.
l believe in the lunch counter thing.
lf a guy wants something to eat,
he oughta be able to get it.
Come on, move it!
What is this, an economy run?
What's going on?
Bastards!
Move it! You're probably
wonderin' why l even picked you up.

in New York. Know what a gypsy cab is?
lt'll go to Harlem,
to Puerto Rican neighborhoods.
We used to have a slogan ...
Kind of funny,
now that l'm with Yellow Cabs:
''We will go anywhere, we are
not yellow.'' Get it? Not yellow.
That's no slur on the Chinese.
But l ain't afraid, because l trust
people. l trust 'em, 'cause l like 'em.
Come on, you bastard!
l could tell that you was honest.
l could tell by your eyes.
Well, not the eyes, actually.
But l go by body language.
You got a real honest body.
You bastard!
... record run in the

You probably don't look up often,
but did you happen to see
a big, tall, black blonde chick?
A big, black blonde chick?
- Red boots. Black blonde.
Scruggy, what's the matter?
You should be feelin' great.
Look, l'm worried about Charlene.
Maybe l should call her.
l never stayed out all night before.
lt's not cool to let
a woman take you for granted.
Besides, you was terrific!
That's not all:
l got a burn downthere. Suppose l caught something.
This isn't funny. Suppose l got
the clap. How will l explain that?
You ain't caught nothin' but a bad
case of the guilts! - Guilt burn?
J.B.'s back on the case,
with a change of pace, with
