I'm sure the people at home would be interested to know why such a large force as you is all dressed up like Frank Zappa. Tell us Larry, whats the deal?

Bahamas Independence Day
After Micky (Micky Dolenz, R) jumps of a bridge, the picture becomes pseudo-solarized and to the sweet tunes of Gerry Goffin and Carole King's Porpoise Song, he meets a siren (actress unknown, L). DP: Michel Hugo.
“Clicks, clacks, riding the backs of giraffes for laughs,
S'alright for a while,
The ego sings of castles and kings,
And things that go with a life of style,
Wanting to feel, to know what is real,
Living is a, is a lie”
