INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY/NIGHT/DAY/NIGHT/DAY/NIGHT/DAY…

DJ 3000 and various other robot entities remain trapped in a time loop inside the KDFO recording studio.  The collection of robots (and cyborgs) are spread out throughout the studio, in various reclining poses.

JOHN DIMAGGIO: [enters the room excitedly displaying an item] Hey guys, look what I found!

RQBOCOP: …I…THOUGHT…THEY…DISCONTINUED…THOSE…

DJ 3000: …THEY…DID…..BUT…WE…BOUGHT…ONE…LAST…BATCH…OFF…E-BAY…FOR…THE…BEN’S…RETIREMENT…PARTY…

RUSSELL WILSON: …I…heard…about…that…party…

JOHNNY 2.5: …IT…WAS…PRETTY…WILD…

RUSSELL WILSON: …I’m…thinking…my…own…will…be…a…bit…more…sedate…

DJ 3000: …GOT…ANYTHING…YOU’D…LIKE…US…TO…SERVE…?

PETUNIA: …I…have…a…suggestion…

RUSSELL WILSON: …oh…damn…I…forgot…about…those…things…

JOHN DIMAGGIO: Why are you guys all talking so slowly? This is weird.

PED-209: …OUR…PROCESSORS…ARE…LESS…EFFICIENT…WHEN…IT’S…HOT…

DJ 3000: …AND…IT’S…BEEN…HOT…AS…BALLS…ALL…WEEK…

JOHN DIMAGGIO: [munching on the Choco Taco] Oh.  Yeah, I get it.  I slow down when it gets hot, too.

MAXIMILIAN: …I…WISH…THERE…WAS…SOMETHING…WE…COULD…DO…

JOHN DIMAGGIO: We can’t just adjust the air conditioning?

DJ 3000: …THE…CENTRAL…CONTROLS…ARE…LOCATED…OUTSIDE…THE…TIME…LOOP…BUBBLE…

JOHN DIMAGGIO: Ah, nuts.

DJ 3000: …PLUS…IT’S…ALMOST…TIME…FOR…REQUEST…LINE…AND…WE…STILL…NEED…A…THEME…

PETUNIA: …I…have…an…idea…

DJ 3000: …FOR…REQUEST…LINE…OR…ABOUT…HOW…TO…DEAL…WITH…THIS…HEAT…

PETUNIA: …both…actually…

PETUNIA rolls over to the soundboard – which is connected to the portal lenses by a series of wires – and fiddles with some dials and slider.  The view through the portal changes rapidly until it settles on…

A blast of cool air flows through the portal, drastically reducing the temperature in the studio. 

PETUNIA: The beach!

MAXIMILIAN: OH HELL YES.

RUSSELL WILSON: [frowning with disapproval at the salty language] Where is that?

PETUNIA: New England, but we can go anywhere…

PETUNIA enters a new set of coordinates.

PETUNIA: …Portugal…

PETUNIA: …Tahiti…

PETUNIA: …Brazil…

DJ 3000: I LOVE IT! LET’S KEEP IT LOCAL AND FOCUS RIGHT ON DOWN THE ROAD IN VENICE BEACH.  GOT A SONG TO START US OFF WITH?

PETUNIA cranks up the volume on the soundboard.

PETUNIA: I sure do!

Today’s theme is “the beach”.  We’re looking for songs that mention the beach, or beach-related activities and items.  We’ve done a few water-themed ones before so let’s try to keep things relatively focused; generic songs about “water” and “swimming” should be avoided in favor of beach-specific themes like “sea and sand” and “surfing” and such.  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?c4NaD!An_3cH0 and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “We’re In the Money” as performed in the film Gold Diggers of 1933 by Ginger Rogers was handily solved by BeefRiverLives.  Everyone ready? Let’s get wet!
