ANNOUNCER: Please give a warm-water welcome to Bell Biv DeVoe!
RICKY BELL, MICHAEL BIVINS and RON DEVOE stroll into the shower.
(MARC greets each BBD with a complimentary pair of exfoliating shower gloves.)
MARC: Gentlemen, this has been a dream of mine since the 7th grade. Would you Do Me the honor of allowing me to sing the chorus to Poison with you?
(BBD look to each other and shrug.)
MICHAEL: No prob. Hit it fellas.
BBD (singing): It's driving me out of my mind/That's why it's hard for me to find/Can't get it outta my head/
Miss her, kiss her, love her, wrong move you're dead.
(Marc jumps out from behind BBD)
MARC (rapping): That girl is poison/Never trust a big butt and smile/That girl is poison.
(BBD nod their approval.)
MARC: Thanks, guys. That was very special.
RON: Well, we have something special for you.
RICKY: We brought you our favorite soap, Coast.
MICHAEL: Where you think we got the idea for the East Coast Family?
MARC (tears up): I don't know what to say.
RICKY: The look on your face is enough.
MARC: You know, guys, or fellas, can I call you fellas? Before there were such things as DVD Players, I invented something very similar. A BBD Player. It only played Bell Biv DeVoe CDs.
RON: That's tight, dawg.
MARC: Tell me about it. If it weren't for DVDs we'd all be swimming in butter. Hey, how are the guys from Another Bad Creation doing?
RON: They still around. Doing a lot of private events in costume and shit.
MARC: I came up with a few marketing ideas for them. You know, get their name back in the mix, as it were. Father's Day is coming up. Have you thought of having ABC record an album of songs called Another Dad Creation? Just an idea. You know me, Biv, I don't expect anything in return.
MICHAEL: That's not a bad idea.
RICKY (winks): Or a bad creation.
RON: Good one, Bell.
MARC: Here's another idea: Take them over to England. Have them talk with English accents. Dress them in linen suits and bowler hats. Another Lad Creation. Or for the funeral business, Another Bad Cremation. Again, these are various marketing ideas.
MICHAEL: Hold up, son. You bustin' on us?
MARC: What? I love you guys. You my fellas, right?
RON: Nah, I think he's having some fun at our expense.
RICKY: Like we chumps or somethin'.
(BBD surround Marc and are about to let loose a torrent of punches when:)
MARC (nervously singing): I thought it was me who makes the girl this way/I thought it was me...
(BBD can't resist.)
BBD (singing together): I came to find out she’s like that every day.
MARC: I thought it was me.
BBD: I thought it was me that makes that girl so wild.
MARC: I thought it was me.
MARC & BBD (together) I found out she’s like that with all the guys!
HAHA!!!

very nice. i have been a long time fan of the daily shower and i've hoped that you'd get around to interviewing one of the music businesses triple threats! BBD are the best, i once met them in philly, and then at a gas station, and then at bells house, and he had the cops come, but i'm not mad, they just aren't ready to accept that i am their biggest fan, and if it weren't for me personally buying up all of those BBD players they wouldn't be around anymore. keep it real Daily shower, cause i'm keeping it real.. i gotta go, the warden is doing the cell inspection, and i'm late for a shower date with Ruffus. thanks again!

I'd love to be in the shower with BBD. I have an extra loofa! Ever since somone called me "the Orinal Ronnis Stalker" Ron DeVoe has had security have a look out for me. You frame a couple hundred pics of someone and you're labeled as obsessed...You try to buy a person's spem on Ebay to create the perfect love child andd people call you crazy...
all I want to say.... BBD, I thought it was me!!
