Ooh, shock treatment
Gets you jumping
like a real live wire
You need a bit of
Ooh, shock treatment
So look out, mister
Don't you blow your last resistor
For a vista
that'll mystify ya
You're blinded by romance
You're blinded by science
Your condition
is critically grave
But don't expect mercy
from such an alliance
Suspicion of tradition's
so new wave
You need a bit of
Ooh, shock treatment
Gets you jumping
like a real live wire
You need a bit of
Ooh, shock treatment
So look out, mister
Don't you blow your last resistor
For a sister that'll certify ya
You need a bit of
Ooh, shock treatment
Gets you jumping
like a real live wire
You need a bit of
Ooh, shock treatment
So look out, mister
Don't you blow your last resistor
For a sister that'll certify ya
Look at that!
Bert Schnick dancing!
- Bert can see!
- Macabre, isn't it?
The blind leading the blind.
- Welcome to the Faith Factory rehearsal.
- Thank you.
- We're all really excited about tonight.
- Oh.
- Oh, do I get one of those?
- Oh, yes, yes, of course you do. Of course you do.
Janet? Janet? Janet?
Janet! Janet! We wantJanet!
Oh, really?
Macy, why don't you takeJanet and help
her freshen up before the rehearsal?
Surely.
Ralph. You promised
me an introduction.
Later, Francine.
Frankie!
Bert, could you spare a moment?
Of course.
Janet! Janet! We wantJanet!
- Janet! Janet! We wantJanet!
- Janet, a quick word.
Could you tell our viewers what exactly you
will be representing tonight?
- Sanity for today.
- Wow!
And that's the word
from Janet Majors...
DTV's newest star.
Okay, guys, let's move on.
- How's Brad?
- He's a wreck.
- Check. The quacks are willing tools?
- The quacks are fools.
You know, I wouldn't mind doing Janet
one or two favors.
It's time to check
with Flavors.
Shoot.
Is there anything else
you'd like, Janet?
Yeah, a new carpet.
I hate the color. Don't you?
It's only one night, Janet.
- Don't forget who we're doing this for.
- Who?
Brad.
You know, I'm getting awfully sick of
hearing about that emotional cripple.
I've got a lot going for me, you know.
I'm going places. I'm gonna be someone.
I'm gonna win my way
into the lives and hearts of the people...
even if I have
to kill to do it.
I'll make the pathetic
little crumbs love me.
I don't even know why
I'm wasting my time here with you.
I should be with my people.
Janet! Janet! We wantJanet!
Janet! Janet! We wantJanet!
Janet! Janet! We wantJanet!
Janet! Janet! We wantJanet!
Janet! Janet! We wantJanet!
Hey, Janet!
- Girl, you're great!
- Oh, thanks.
- Hi. My name's Frankie.
- Francine!
And I think you're beautiful.
Hi, I'm Brenda. This is my brother Oscar,
and this is our friend, Glish Davison.
Janet, we really enjoyed doing
the Breakfast Show with you.
This is Janet.
She's a phenomenon.
So if you're looking for a standard
to which you can aspire
Then, baby
Look at me Whoa-oh
Look at me - All right!
I think you need a little rest.
You've got a big night
ahead of you.
Your clothes are real neat.
Reminder. Wardrobe check...
We wantJanet!
Janet! Janet! We wantJanet!
Aren't they great?
But getting back
to Faith Factory...
all in all, it looks
like an exciting new series for us.
Yes, and an attractive financial
prospect for Denton.
- And fashion-wise?
- What did I tell you?
Well, I can just say that Faith Factory
will be introducing a new look...
that will show off one or two old faces
in an exciting new light.
- Really? Sounds interesting.
- Did you hear that, Oliver?
Yes, Betty. But the false
promise of a new dawn...
usually leads to
a most bloody sunset.
No, I don't know whatJanet's next move
will be, but you can be sure of one thing.
- It all starts right here.
- Thank you.
And that's the word
from Ralph Hapschatt...
and Macy Struthers.
Janet! Janet! We wantJanet!
Janet! Janet! We wantJanet!
Oh, Oliver!
What are we going to do?
Care to indulge?
- Indulge?
- Mm-hmm.
- In a little, um, masquerade?
- Final reminder.
- Oh.
- Wardrobe check for Faith Factory medical outfits.
Wardrobe check for
Faith Factory medical outfits.
Dentonvale.
Parental predicament.
Oh, Harry,
what are we gonna do?
I don't know, Emily.
I'm worried.
Maybe I could wear
those black leather brogues.
Too fashy.
They'll clash with the new outfits.
It's all right, Brad, dear.
Have another sedative.
We'll miss you
on the show tonight.
Don't worry, Brad.
I'll be back.
- What about those Italian loafers I bought in Hawaii?
- Mmm.
I've just come to tell
you how fabulous I am.
Face it, Janet.
Brad's an emotional cripple.
- Quite frankly-
- He hates you.
Time's tight, Janet.
Do it right, Janet.
Until tonight...
Janet.
I've just come to tell
you how fabulous I am.
I've just come to tell
you how fabulous I am.
Out on a cul-de-sac
And I gotta go back
So come on, feet
We gotta hit the street
We've got it made
I'm looking for trade
I'm lookin' for love
I'm lookin' for trade
I need some young blood
I need some young blood
I need it now
I need some young blood
I need some young blood
And we're gonna
get it somehow
I'm on a dead-end street
I'm like a dog in the heat
I'm like a kid with no toys
I wanna get those boys
Oh, I can't be delayed
I'm looking for trade
I'm lookin' for love
I'm looking for trade
Oh, we're all livin'
like there's no tomorrow
And the way things are going
that's probably true
But without you and me, Sis
the world would fall to pieces
Vena cava Who's the raver
Our raving savior
that's you
I'm on the primrose path
I'm looking for a laugh
Remember, it's no fun
To be the chosen one
There are games
to be played
Looking for trade
I'm looking for love
I'm looking for trade
I need some young blood
I need some young blood
And I need it now
I need some young blood
I need some young blood
And I'm gonna
get it somehow
I'm looking for trade
Janet, Janet! We wantJanet!
- Janet, Janet! We wantJanet!
- Janet? Janet?
Wake up, Janet.
You've got guests.
You can come in now.
- Hi, Janet.
- How are you feeling?
Who are you?
- The band.
- Do you have any friends?
Sure.
You won't have soon.
What are you called, your band?
Oscar Drill and the Bits.
Betty, it's imperative we getJanet
out of Farley's fast fingers...
and Brad out of that hellhole before
they both disappear forever.
I don't mind
telling you, Oliver...
I'm not looking
forward to this.
If only I could
place that name.
- McKinley.
- There was a president.
President?
Past presidents.
Betty, this is
beginning to add up.
Really?
What'll I pin this on?
Faith, Betty.
But make sure it's your own.
In a hurry, Mr. Flavors?
There's a little lady
he doesn't wanna keep waiting.
- And a date.
- Who with, Mr. Flavors?
The past.
Like a virgin with an urgin'
in a surgery
I'll be swingin'
I'll be bringing out the nurse in me
The art will start
when I play my part
As a healer who will
