- Merci beaucoup, hello! 
How's it goin' everybody? Thank you for coming! 
I'm sure they explained everything that's goin' on here, tonight... 
my dad's a bit of a nut and he, he's into his home movie taping. 
So... this is, you know, it started with just a little palmcorder and then, 
he got the cranes, and you know, so those are my brothers, working the cranes, 
it's like, it's a family affair, tonight. And the craziest...
- If you think this is crazy, you should've seen it when his wife gave birth.
- The craziest thing is, though...
- He had (????) and everything over his (????).
- My dad goes through so much trouble to tape all those shows. 
And he's only gonna show it to my uncle, and he doesn't even like the band. 
Like, "oh no... watch, Elwyn, you gotta see this part, Elwyn, this was great..." 
Here's a little song about my uncle Elwyn...

Hey, it's uncle Elwyn
Hey, it's uncle Elwyn

My uncle Elwyn is tall, my Elwyn is small
My Elwyn plays a mean basketball
He's about 45, maybe 55, 60, I'm not sure

Once, he mixed me a drink
I was about 5 years old, it was Kool-Aid and Vodka
I thought that was cold

Cold, meaning good
Cold, supposed to be bad, but I think
That I oughta, well, change some things, change their meanings

I've been here, I've been demeaning
Once, twice, maybe three times
I asked my uncle Elwyn, he's a mime

He said "it's uncle Elwyn", whooo
It's uncle Elwyn, oooh
E-L-W-Y-N, that's Elwyn, say it again

E-L-W-Y-N, that's Elwyn, say it again
E-L-W-Y-N, that's Elwyn, say it again
E-L-W-Y-N, that's Elwyn, it's my uncle
