Fun Facts

Although the Mother Strawberry is alluded to in this episode in the band's tattoos, she also featured in the episode 'Hostage'.

The song the Jams are playing in the practice session is Bob Marley's 'Jamming', appropriately enough.

The poster to Jam 1's left on the stage reads: THE JAMNIFICANT 4! With the 4 crossed out and replaced by a forlorn 1.

Jam 1 - the drummer and sole survivor of the band - made a comeback as drummer in Weebl's band in Niiiiiccce.

Transcript:

There are 4 Jams together. The one on the far left is addresing the other three, and the one on the far right is facing away from the speaking Jam. There is a poster in the background which, predictably, reads 'OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT!'}

JAM 1: Brother Jams.
JAM 1: For too long we have been ignored.

{Pause as nobody responds or seems to take any interest}

JAM 1: Ahem!

JAM 4: ?

{Jam 4 slowly turns round to face Jam 1}

JAM 1: Were you listening?

JAM 4: Yes.

{Jam 4 hesitates for a moment}

JAM 4: No.
JAM 4: Sorry.

JAM 1: We need a way of getting our message out.

JAM 2: Ooh! Ooh!
JAM 2: Let's form a band!

JAM 1: That's a stupid idea.

JAM 2: You got a better one brother?

{Jam 1 turns to face the screen and thinks}

JAM 1: Erm.
JAM 3: You can be drummer.

{Jam 1 turns back to face other 3}

JAM 1: Sweeeeet!
JAM 1: Let's do it!

JAM 2: Great!
JAM 2: 'Cos I already got us a gig for tonight.

JAM 1: Tonight??
JAM 1: Quick! There\'s no time to lose!

4 HOURS LATER

{Jams reappear, all bearing Strawberry tattoos with a small banner saying 'Mom' on their labels}

JAM 1: Ok.
JAM 1: We got our rock tattoos.

{Close-up of tattoo on Jam 1}

JAM 2: Yeah baby!

{Return to normal view}

JAM 1: Now what?

JAM 3: We need a band name.

JAM 2: Jam Bovi!

JAM 3: The Jam.

JAM 1: That\'s been done.

JAM 4: Duran DuJam!

JAM 2: Jambawamba!

JAM 1: Stop.

JAM 3: MC Jammer.

JAM 1: Stop!

JAM 4: Hammer time!

{From off-screen, a hammer is thrown and smashes Jam 4... killing him}

JAM 1: Who threw that?

{Cut by use of blurring to a rather hairy Jam beside a slightly nobbled tin of beans}

HAIRY JAM: Sorry.
HAIRY JAM: I was trying to open these beans.

JAM 1: (From offstage) Use the can opener like everyone else.

HAIRY JAM: Ok.

{Cut back to Jams}

JAM 1: Right.
JAM 1: Let's practice.

{Fade out, then fade in a scene of the Jams practicing. Jam 1 is on drums, Jam 2 is lead singer, Jam 3 is playing the Jammond Organ and Jam 4 is dead}

{As they practice, a thumping noise becomes apparent}

JAM 2: Stop!

{A hammer flies off from the right edge of the screen and smashes Jam 3, killing him}

JAM 1: What the hell are you doing?

HAIRY JAM: (Off-screen) Washing the car!

JAM 2: With a hammer?

{Pause}

HAIRY JAM: Well, it\'s not going to clean itself.

JAM 1: Use water like everyone else.

HAIRY JAM: K.

{Sounds of something scrunching}

JAM 2: What now?

{A can opener flies off from the right edge of the screen and hits Jam 2, bounces off who then explodes. Jam 1 turns suddenly to face where Jam 2 was just standing, then the Hairy Jam leans over into the foreground and speaks to the screen. Jam 1 turns to face Hairy Jam}

HAIRY JAM: Sorry, it\'s a right-handed can opener.

JAM 1: Why are using a can opener?

HAIRY JAM: I'm filling the car with beans.

JAM 1: Why?

HAIRY JAM: Well... I opened them earlier,
HAIRY JAM: And I thought it was a shame to waste 'em.

{Pause as Jam 1 slowly turns away from Hairy Jam and stares in disbelief at screen}

HAIRY JAM: This gives the best cleaning results.

{Jam 1 turns back to face the Hairy Jam}

JAM 1: Your results are 3 dead jams!

HAIRY JAM: But I get results!

{Pause}

HAIRY JAM: Also; I might be high.

{Banana appears in a cloud of smoke}

BANANA: You are.
HAIRY JAM: I am!

{Pause}

JAM 1: Clear this up.
JAM 1: I've got a gig to drive to.

{Gets down from the drums and makes his way to the car. Squelching noise indicates a car full of beans}

JAM 1: Eeeew!

{Drives off, banner reading 'OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT' at back explodes}

{Fade out, then fade in with the lone Jam 1 facing the audience all on his own. The viewpoint is at first from behind the audience, then it turns to directly behind him, and finally back from behind the audience}

JAM 1
: Overthrow.
JAM 1: Overthrow the government.
JAM 1: Yeah!
JAM 1: 'Coz they smell of poooooo
JAM 1: And they don't like...
JAM 1: Stuff....
JAM 1: That you do!
JAM 1: Yeah!
JAM 1: Overthrow.
JAM 1: Overthr...

{Crowd get angry and microphone starts to whine and cut out}

JAM 1: Overthrow the government.
JAM 1: Yeah.
JAM 1: Wipe the floor.

{Crowd boos Jam 1. Weebl and Bob rise up from the back of the audience}

WEEBL: You stink!

BOB: Yes.
BOB: Of beans and hammers.

{Jam 1 looks down resignedly}

JAM 1: Yeah
