Transcript

{Open to a static-filled screen, eventually focusing on Strong Bad in his room.}

STRONG BAD: Attention, Long Island! Do not attempt to adjust the jumbotron. And, do not attempt to adjust those trucker caps you're all wearing. Or wait, in fact, DO adjust them.

{Strong Bad holds up a blue trucker hat that reads "Naked Ladies" on the front.}

STRONG BAD: Everybody turn your trucker caps sidewise!

{He throws the hat off screen.}

STRONG BAD: Okay! Since they wouldn't let me on stage, and {winking} since the ladies demanded it, I give you, for two years running, the number one JAM OF THE SUMMER!

{The camera stops rolling.}
