(In the middle of a desert, Micky, Dolenz, David Jones and Michael Nesmith sit by a palm tree, feeling bored. Suddenly Bugs Bunny comes out from behind the palm tree.)
(Contents of Kool-Aid are poured into a pitcher; then suddenly, a long line of children pop up on a sand dune. They come clamoring down to greet black tuxedo-clad Monkees, who serve them Kool-Aid. Micky, as a thirsty foreign legionnaire crawling on the sand, turns around and spots a glass of Kool-Aid!)
DJ:
Everybody digs Kool-Aid!
(Foreign Legionnaire Micky crawls to the glass of Kool-Aid and takes it. Children are seen emerging from a sheik tent; and the kids and The Monkees all raise their glasses of Kool-Aid. The Monkees emerge from the same tent, clad as sheiks.)
