[Scene: Nightclub with DJ stage raised slightly above dance floor. In front of stage Dean and Amy are standing together watching the Club Owner getting ready to address the audience.]

Club Owner: Alright, everybody welcome to the Comet nightclub. Thank you for showing up. It means a lot to me and my cousin who is also my business partner. Hey Billy, come on up here.

[enter Billy carrying a beer and looking somewhat inebriated.]

Billy: Hello everyone. [aside to Club Owner but still talking loudly] I can't believe I let you talk me into this, Anthony. If this doesn't work so help me. [drinks some beer]

Club Owner: Heh heh. Forgive him, he's a little nervous. Investing your life savings in a club will do that to you. Believe me though, his money is safe because tonight is gonna put us on the map. For your listening pleasure I went out and got the hottest DJ in England. And here he is, from Manchester to Manhattan, give it up for DJ Kringle.

[Enter DJ Kringle dressed in red and white. He is 'laying a finger aside of his nose' and pointing out into the audience with the other.]

Club Owner: [ jokingly ] Alright, well I'm gonna go in the back and count my money now!

Billy: You better mean MY money! Talking about counting your money. Your money is what's left over after I get my money back. Being broke isn't fun. I haven't had sex in weeks![finishes beer and holds up empty mug.] Barkeep!

[Club Owner is embarrased, he shakes his head and exits scene with Billy in tow.]

DJ Kringle: [with English accent] Yo yo yo. Let's get this party started. This one's going out to all the gents and their ho ho hoes and it's coming straight at ya from someone who has settled down for a long winter's nap. Here we go courtesy of the king of rock and ro oh oh oh oll.

[Blue Christmas begins to play. Amy and Dean begin dancing then stop and look confused.]

"I'll have a blue ue ue ue ue
Christmas without you."

[mad scratching]

[Dean walks on stage and taps DJ on the shoulder.]

Dean: Hey man, cut the music. What r you doing?

DJ Kringle: I'm jolly well getting down with my bad self. So Mr. Scrooge, why don't you just dash away. [making 'go away' motion with hand.] Dash away, dash away y'all!

Dean: Yeah, look nobody is gonna dance to that.

DJ Kringle: Look, just because rock n roll don't fill your stocking...

Dean: That wasn't rock n roll dude. How do you expect us to dance to that.

DJ Kringle: [pauses for a moment.] Okay, I'm catching your vibe man. You want something with a bit more clatter, am I right?

Dean: Yeah I guess, that would be nice.

[DJ winks at Dean then turns head to focus on record sellection. Dean leaves stage and returns to dance floor with Amy.]

DJ Kringle: Alright listen up peeps. I've gotten a request to speed things up a bit. So get ready cause I'm gonna tear open the shutters and throw up the sash with this tune baby!

["Rockin around the Christmas Tree" begins playing]

"Rockin' around the Christmas tree
let the Christmas spirit ring, ing ing ing.
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
and we'll do some caroling, ling, ling, ling."

[mad scratching]

[Dean gets on stage.]

Dean: What are you doin' man?

DJ Kringle: What's your problem now Grinch?

Dean: Well, first of all you can't dance to that. Secondly, I don't know when you English celebrate Christmas, but here in America it's in December...not June. What's with the Christmas tunes?

DJ Kringle: Bah humbug. Why you gotta hate eh? This stuff has the people back home dancing like dry leaves before a hurricane man.

Dean: Look, can't you play some Moby, or some Outkast or Nelly...oh wait I know Gorillaz. You're from England, certainly you know about the Gorillaz. Play some of that for starters.

DJ Kringle: Gorillaz? [thinks for a moment.] Ahh, I get ya, ya crazy Yank! I think I can pull some of that out of my sack. [DJ gets record, Dean returns to dance floor.] Alright everyone, if you're a dancer then u're gonna love this track cause it's totally blitzen y'all!

[Theme to Monkees begins playin']

"Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey, we're the Monkees
and people say we monkey around
but we're too busy singing, inging, inging, inging
to put anybody down."

[mad scratching]

[Dean gets back on stage.]

Dean: Dammit, I said Gorillaz, not Monkees!

[Enter Club Owner]

Club Owner: What is going on here! What kind of crap are you playing Chris? I didn't pay you good money to stink up the joint! I could've have hired my gassy cousin Billy to do that!

Billy: [offscreen] I heard that! (fart noise)

[every gets disgusted look on their face for a few hilarious seconds. Engage 'Applause' sign if necessary.]

Club Owner: [to Dean] I'm sorry sir. Come on Chris, let's get this party started properly! [looking through records.] Oh, yeah, this is the stuff. You play this. It'll bring the house down! Alright.

Dean: Finally.

[Dean gets back on dance floor.]

DJ Kringle: Alright this one was requested by the head honcho who is [giving him the thumbs up] one jolly old elf. It's going out to everybody, wether naughty or nice. I wanna see all you creatures stirring out there now.

["Feliz Navidad" begins playing]

"I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas.
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
from the bottom of my heart.
Feliz Navid. Feliz Navidad.
Feliz Navidad, prospero anno y felicidad."
[mad scratching. Repeat chorus until end of sketch.]

[Dean and Amy shake their heads and exit scene. Club Owner and DJ Kringle dance wildly. Billy enters staggering and carrying a gun. He abruptly smiles and starts dancing along with Club Owner and DJ.]

[Fade Out]
