00:00:02,733 --> 00:00:03,966
‐ Hey! ‐ Hey.

2
00:00:04,033 --> 00:00:06,100
We just got back from the
Thompsons' garage sale

3
00:00:06,166 --> 00:00:08,066
and boy, did we hit the jackpot.

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,000
Say the Thompsons
hit the jackpot

5
00:00:11,066 --> 00:00:13,600
when they saw you two suckers.

6
00:00:13,666 --> 00:00:17,200
Obviously, you're not a
garage sale connoisseur.

7
00:00:17,266 --> 00:00:23,066
My baby is playin' a genuine
faux leopard ensemble.

8
00:00:23,133 --> 00:00:27,933
And in my hand is a virtual
cornucopia of 60's classics.

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,633
Oh, dear, dear, dear, if
only there was someone

10
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:33,266
in the brownstone who still
had a record player.

11
00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:35,333
Oh, snap! Look what I found.

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,866
[laughs]

13
00:00:36,933 --> 00:00:38,633
Hey, hey, hey, be
careful with that now.

14
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:42,300
That is an exquisitely
preserved Barbie collectible.

15
00:00:42,366 --> 00:00:44,533
Made even more special
by the fact that

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,566
little artistic Ne‐ne
painted Barbie black.

17
00:00:48,633 --> 00:00:50,333
With that blonde hair,
she's a dead ringer

18
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,166
for Mary J. Blige.

19
00:00:52,233 --> 00:00:53,553
Oh, let's see what
we've got here.

20
00:00:53,577 --> 00:00:55,333
Oh, oh, "Martha and
the Vandellas"

21
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,433
and, "Up the Charelles" and..

22
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:01,040
My personal favorite,
"Shonda and the Shoopettes"

23
00:01:01,106 --> 00:01:03,040
who immortalized
that famous phrase.

24
00:01:03,106 --> 00:01:07,206
"Doo‐wop shoop‐shoop‐shoop shoop
shoop‐doo‐wop shoop‐shoop."

25
00:01:09,673 --> 00:01:11,873
I don't know how you can get
so worked up about music

26
00:01:11,940 --> 00:01:13,806
that was played out
before we were born.

27
00:01:13,873 --> 00:01:16,806
Oh, shoot, girl, all those
beautiful girl‐groups

28

big hair and their big..

Just who started this
group, "The Flavorettes."

94
00:04:58,026 --> 00:04:59,093
Me!

Nothing, nothing.

That's what a black man
in America has, nothing.

100
00:05:14,666 --> 00:05:16,800
Well, we would have something
if you'd start singin'

101
00:05:16,866 --> 00:05:19,133

can stop suckin'
on that inhaler.

108
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,800
Maybe he can manage to tell
us if he booked us a gig.

109
00:05:44,266 --> 00:05:47,800
Well, uh, uh, my‐my cousin
Marietta said we could play

110
00:05:47,866 --> 00:05:50,466
at her big bridge party
in Chitalling‐Chow.

111
00:05:52,466 --> 00:05:56,066

Oh, oh, God.

00:06:01,073 --> 00:06:03,573
Guys, you know the offer still
stands for us to go and play

114
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,740
for my steady down at
the Highline Club.

115
00:06:05,806 --> 00:06:07,540
Okay, I'm against that
for three reason.

116
00:06:09,373 --> 00:06:12,406
Number one, it wasn't my idea.

117
00:06:12,473 --> 00:06:15,506
Number two, it's not
a big enough house.

118
00:06:15,573 --> 00:06:18,340
Number three, it was your idea.

119
00:06:19,973 --> 00:06:22,140
Well, I think that we
should take the job.

120
00:06:22,206 --> 00:06:24,106
I mean, I sure could
use the money.

121
00:06:24,173 --> 00:06:27,106

boy that I sponsor

Look, man, dig this.

124
00:06:36,806 --> 00:06:38,640
Now, we need to go
shake our groove thing

125
00:06:38,706 --> 00:06:40,340
down at the Highline Club

126
00:06:40,406 --> 00:06:42,040
so we can be seen.

00:06:43,473 --> 00:06:44,840

Oh, right, right, I'm in, I'm in!
I'm in! I'm in!

00:06:48,106 --> 00:06:50,473
We'll change the lyrics though.
Think about this.

131
00:06:50,540 --> 00:06:53,173
Tell him that our
children are starving.

132
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,473
Tell him that the time
of oppression is over.

133
00:06:56,540 --> 00:07:00,746
Tell him! Tell him! Tell him!
Tell him we need jobs, man!

134
00:07:00,813 --> 00:07:02,746

we'd have taken you up on
that invitation a lot sooner.

Who is that sugar daddy?

155
00:08:18,020 --> 00:08:21,586
The man who put "Shonda and
Shoopettes" on the map.

156
00:08:21,653 --> 00:08:23,720
And Shonda's husband
on the curb.
