School of Rock

By Jonathan Friedman -

Everybody gets a lesson in Rock and Roll Music History. The four Fours are magically found. After pointing out that they are “The Fab Four”, the card box is shown to have “The Beatles” written upon it. A rock and roll match!

The Fab Four are placed into the box. The inked “The Beatles” is rubbed and changes into “Elvis”. The box is opened and instead of seeing The Beatles inside, it’s The King of Diamonds. The King of Rock and Roll. The King … Elvis Presley.
