Musical cushions game/Transcript

(Captain Feathersword puts the cushions on the ground.)

Captain Feathersword: 1, 2. Now where should I put number 3?

(The Wiggles arrive.)

Anthony: Hi, everybody.

Wiggles: We're The Wiggles.

Anthony: I'm Anthony.

Murray: I'm Murray.

Sam: I'm Sam.

Jeff: I'm Jeff.

Captain Feathersword: And I'm Captain Feathersword.

Sam: Um, Captain, what are the cushions for?

Captain Feathersword: Sam, I thought we play a game of musical cushions. That's where you play some music and then you hop, skip or jump around the cushions until the music stops.

Anthony: And then you find a cushion to sit on?

Captain Feathersword: That's right, Anthony.

Anthony: Well, it sounds a bit like musical chairs, except you cushions instead.

Captain Feathersword: (laughing) It is indeed. Sam, you can sing.

Sam: Oh, I love to, Captain, but just one question before we start. If there are 4 of you playing, why are there only 3 cushions?

Captain Feathersword: Only the 3 fastest get to sit on a cushion.

Sam: Oh, I see.

Captain Feathersword: Ready, everybody? Let's start. Hopping first. Ready?

(Captain Feathersword, Anthony, Jeff and Murray starts hopping while the music starts playing.)

Sam: (singing) When the music stops, everybody hops

Hoppity, hoppity, hop

Others: Hoppity, hoppity, hop

Sam: We know you love to hop

Others: Yes, we love to hop

Sam: The hop's about to stop when the music stops

(Jeff, Murray and Captain Feathersword sit on the 3 cushions but Anthony loses.)

Anthony: Aw, gee, I missed out on a cushion!

Captain Feathersword: That's alright, Anthony, we'll play it again. This time, we'll skip. (he, Jeff and Murray stand up) Ready?

(Captain Feathersword, Anthony, Jeff and Murray start skipping while the music plays again.)

Sam: (singing) Everybody skip, everybody skip

Skippity, skippity, skip

Others: Skippity, skippity skip

Sam: We know you love to skip

Others: Yes, we love to skip

Sam: The skip's about to stop when the music stops

Anthony, Jeff and Captain Feathersword sit on the 3 cushions but Murray misses.)

Murray: (laughs) I wasn't fast enough that time.

Captain Feathersword: That's alright, Murray. We'll play it again and this time, we'll jump.

Sam: (to the viewers) This time, everybody, I'm gonna play a trick on Captain Feathersword and the Wiggles. Watch this. (steals one of the cushions and puts it behind his back)

Captain Feathersword: Okay, time for jumping. Ready?

(Captain Feathersword, Anthony, Jeff and Murray start jumping while the music plays again.)

Sam: (singing) Everybody jump, yes, everybody jump

Jumpity, jumpity, jump

Others: Jumpity, jumppity jump

Sam: We know you love to jump

Others: Yes, we love to jump

Sam: The jump's about to stop when the music stops

(Anthony and Jeff sit on the 2 cushions.)

Murray: Two of us missed out that time?!? How did that happen?

Sam: Well, Murray, you have to use your eyes, as well as your ears. (holding a cushion) I hid one of the cushions!

Murray: (laughing) Funny! That sounds Sammy. (with Captain, Anthony, and Jeff) Wah, wah, wah, waaaaaaaaaaah!
