A história nunca contada do Purple

David Meadows, figuraça do fórum do Purple, está escrevendo um roteiro humorístico sobre a história da banda, "demonstrando" por que é que o Vilão De Preto está por trás de todos os infortúnios da banda. De resto, ele nos brinda com cenas como a seguinte, que só faz sentido para quem tem as letras do In Rock e o método gillanesco de composição na cabeça e por isso eu não vou traduzir:

TVIB: And that's what our new sound should be.

JON: Good golly!

BIG IAN: Aha!

(BIG IAN scribbles something in a note book.)

IAN: What a fright! I couldn't do it---

BIG IAN: Oho!

(Scribble scribble.)

TVIB: You'd better do something, for your own sake.

BIG IAN (mumbling): Oh, that's so good!

(Scribble scribble scribble.)

ROGER: But Rich... see the mess you're making?

BIG IAN (mumbling): Hmm... yeah...

(More scribbling.)

TVIB: Well I'm a long way from where I wanna go---

BIG IAN (mumbling): Cool...

(Scribble scribble.)

JON: But it's so different from the old stuff, Rich.

TVIB: Don't speak about the past, times are changing fast!

BIG IAN (mumbling): Perfect!

(Scribble scribble... he's filled several pages by now.)

TVIB: C'mon guys! Don't slow down, we're nearly there now!

BIG IAN (mumbling): Nearly there...

(Scribbles a bit more.)

TVIB: See, there's a line that's drawn between...

BIG IAN (shouting): Finished! Ok guys, here's my first set of lyrics!

ROGER: Go for it, mate!

BIG IAN SINGING:

Black night is not right,
I don't feel so bright,
I don't care to sit tight.
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.
I don't need a dark tree,
I don't want a rough sea,
I can't feel, I can't see.
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.

Black night, black night,
I don't need black night,
I can't see dark night.
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.

(There is a long, long silence.)

TVIB: What the FU---
