>>JIMMI: (singing) Hey there baby do you know what I mean? I've got a funky
feeling that's picking up steam!
I wrote that #1 hit "Rock Party Tonight" forty years ago for my band, Iron Oar.
For a while there, it was Mick, Daltrey, and me Jimmi Klim. Man, those were the days.
(singing) Because tonight is for parties and this party will rock. Oh!
"Rock Party Tonight" was supposed to be the first of many hits,
but it turned out to be the first of one.
>>TV ANNOUNCER: An all new "Newport Beach" starts right now!
[music] "Rock Party Tonight"]
>>LEO: Hey, Dad.
Dad.
Dad!
>> JIMMI: What?
>>LEO: Your song is on "Newport Beach"!
>>JIMMI: Oh, sounds great! Me and Leo riding the waves!
>>LEO: No, Dad, "Rock Party Tonight" is on "Newport Beach", the hottest show on television.
>>JIMMI: Give me that!
Hey, baby! That's Rock Party Tonight!
>>LEO: This is huge! "Newport Beach" puts bands on the map.
>>JIMMI: Come again?
>>LEO: You get your song on "Newport Beach" and sky's the limit!
>>JIMMI: Really?
Thanks to "Newport Beach", Jimmi Klim, the creative genius behind Iron Oar, is back.
[music swells]
>>GRACE: So, Jimmi freaked out a little bit when he found out that the record
company was getting all the money from "Newport Beach".
I told him my husband was not holding all that anger in.
[pumpkins smashing]
>>LEO: Yeah, so then I told him he should start his own company to take advantage
of Iron Oar's return to prominence. And I think he thought it was a good idea.
It was a pretty good idea because I was just watching TV and I was like "you
should start your own company".
>>JIMMI: When I had the idea of starting Iron Oar, Incorporated...
...I knew I needed someone I could trust to take charge.
So, I'd like to announce our new office manager...
...Erin!
>>LEO: Congratulations.
>>ERIN: I left a very safe and steady job because Jimmi said I wasn't just gonna
be an assistant. I was going to be "office manager".
>>JIMMI: So, Erin, this is your office.
>>ERIN: Not bad. I can do something with this space.
>>JIMMI: And this is my office.
Oh, and job number one, please remind me every three days to water this plant.
>>ERIN: He claimed that he wanted to run his "business" like a real company.
I'm not sure if he understands what "a real company" actually means.
>>ERIN : Uh, Grace, where did they put the copier?
>>GRACE: That room back there in the corner.
[toilet flushes]
>>LEO: What do you need?
>>GRACE: Um...just some copies.
>>LEO: Oh, yeah, let me do it.
Just a second.
>>JIMMI: Can you speak more clearly? I said 200! 200! Now read it all back to me.
Speak up, man! I think you got it. Fine!
I need a new phone. This one's crap!
>>ERIN: Okay, one new phone. Gotcha.
>>JIMMI: This totally reminds me of that time we opened for Plant, Page, and the
boys in Tokyo.
>>GRACE: Robert Plant. Jimmy Page.
>>JIMMI: Oh, oh, hey, hey, hey...Look, I had 200 t-shirts made to commemorate the
maiden voyage of Iron Oar, Inc.! Ta-da!
>>LEO: Iron Boar?
>>JIMMI: It's a joke.
I did it on purpose.
As a gag.
>>GRACE: Of course you did, dear.
>>ERIN: Not bad. We can work with that.
[Leo snickers]
>>JIMMI: I'm not old. I'm vintage. Because once you rock, you never-ever stop.
