Chuck E. Cheese:

Hi there, everybody. How ya doing?

Mr. Munch:

About your Awesome Adventure Machine there. You say it can do just about anything?

Chuck E. Cheese:

Yeah

Mr. Munch:

Well I find that sorta hard to swallow

Pasqually:

Mama mia!

Mr. Munch:

What?

Jasper T. Jowls:

What?

Helen Henny:

What?

Chuck E. Cheese:

You ok, Pasqually?

Pasqually:

Oh sure, sure. I was just shocked to hear there was anything that Munch couldn’t swallow

Mr. Munch:

Oh ha ha

Chuck E. Cheese:

Well for one thing, it’s got the world’s greatest research tool

Jasper T. Jowls:

Oh?

Chuck E. Cheese:

My multimedia encyclopedia Chuck E. Cheese-ia

All:

Ooh

Helen Henny:

How does it work?

Chuck E. Cheese:

Simple. First, we’ll just pick a letter at random like p. Now, let’s see what subjects we can find. We could learn about pachyderms

Helen Henny:

Now that’s a heavy subject

Chuck E. Cheese:

Or penguins

Pasqually:

Many are cold, but few are frozen

Chuck E. Cheese:

Percussion. Yeah, percussion. Now that’s a subject that is really cool. See, percussion instruments are a family of musical instruments which produce sound when struck. Get it? Percussion instruments are ones that you’re supposed to beat on

Pasqually:

Like drums

Jasper T. Jowls:

Or a xylophone

Helen Henny:

Sorry, guys. But you all have this whole percussion thing turned upside down

Mr. Munch:

Huh?

Pasqually:

We do?

Chuck E. Cheese:

What?

Helen Henny:

Sure, the wonderful thing about percussion isn’t what you beat on, it’s the beat itself. Yeah, percussion is the rhythm that feels right. The beat that guides your feet. The groove that makes you move.
