"The Gods Jam" is an instrumental piece "played" by Brain Guy and Pearl Forrester during Experiment #817. Challenged by Flavia to demonstrate their godly gifts, Brain Guy used his mental powers to produce music while he and Pearl mimed playing their instruments.

Set-Up[]

[In Ancient Rome]

Brain Guy: So I said to Jupiter, "You know that Saturn -- he's a different kind of god."
Callipygeas: Ha ha ha... It's a different kind of god... More wine? Good, good. It's from Gaul, you know. You might say it's from "conquered" grapes. Ha ha!
Brain Guy: Open a window...
Callipygeas: We invented the pun, you know.
Pearl Forrester: Is that right?
Flavia: Goddess Apearlo, um, from what part of the Imperium do you dwell, generally?
Pearl Forrester: Uh, the suburbs.
Flavia: Oh.
Callipygeas: Ha ha, I believe Pliny speaks of the suburbs of the gods...
Flavia: And what are your godly gifts? Earthquake, fire from the sky? Music, perhaps?
Pearl Forrester: Yes, music, music, yes...
Flavia: Ah, well, do, do favor us with a song. Lyre.
Pearl Forrester: What did you just call me? [Flavia holds up lyre] Oh, of course. Brainguyus, why don't you take the autoharp here, and I will take the gourd with a stick... [whispering] Help me, I can't play a lick!
Brain Guy: [whispering back] Just smile and play along. I'll save your bacon again. [resuming normal volume] Alright then, what shall we start with today? Maybe a bit of "Bitter Dregs" huh?
Callipygeas: Sure.
Brain Guy: ah, we'll just jam and see what happens. Okay then.

[Hoedown music begins]

Brain Guy: Okay then.
Pearl Forrester: Here we go...
Brain Guy: We're going...
Callipygeas: Bye Jove, ha ha, truly this is the music of the gods! Wahoo! Ha ha! Come, let us dance.
Flavia: No, Callipygeas.

[music changes to a version of "Seasons in the Sun"]

Callipygeas: [whispering] Come on, Flavia, it's the gods...

[Callipygeas and Flavia begin to dance]

Brain Guy: Hoedown!
Pearl Forrester: Everybody!

[music changes to "Hoe-Down" from Aaron Copland's Rodeo]

Brain Guy: In Asia Minor, it's a Spicy Beef Salad. In Pompeii, Sizzling Beef Potstickers. In Iconia, a rich kettle of Beef Stew. In Gaul, it's rich Beef Chateau Briand.
Callipygeas: Demigods, join us.

[On The Satellite of Love]

Tom Servo: Beef. It's what's for movie sign!
Mike Nelson: Ahh, we got movie sign.
