Eloise and Harlequin belt out You ain’t Nothing but a Hound Dog and You are the Sunshine of my Love backed by the line-up of eight girls – a typical performance from 9gals! starting with oldies.
“Hello everybody! We’ve been performing along the coast starting at De Panne, moving from town to town on the tram and today we are in Knokke on the beach. Hello Knokke!”
“Hello 9gals!”
“But before we continue with the performance we have a special message to all of you from Mrs Greatscan – she wants a young man in her life. You are asking where is she? I don’t know either. Let’s all shout:”
“Where are you, Mrs Greatscan?”
“I’m here.” A ten-times-sized image of Mrs Greatscan appears above the stage. “I’m walking along the seafront with Jimmie and following an electronic dog. I could hear your opening numbers in the distance.”
“I’ve had enough of men in my age. I want to cut back on being the ersatz mum for all the 9gals! I want a young man like Jimmie – half my age. And I want you, that is, all of the young men on this planet to email me with all your details. But, but, but, don’t bother to write unless you want to spend a long time with me. More details on our streaming website.”
“And now on with the show!”
The image of Mrs Greatscan faded and 9gals! launched into I’m waiting for my Man.
“Hello everyone! This is Mrs Greatscan on the 9gals! website and I’m going to tell you about my special wish and I’m talking to all you young men out there.”
“I’ve had enough of men in my age. I want to cut back on being the ersatz mum for all the 9gals! I want a young man like Jimmie – half my age. And I want you, that is, all of the young men on this planet to email me with all your details. But, but, but, don’t bother to write unless you want to spend a long time with me.”
“First, let me tell you about me and my special wish. You’ll find out all about me by tapping on the ME‑button. And my special wish is of course Jimmie, tap on the JIMMIE‑button. But Jimmie is all tied up with two very nice females and hasn’t time enough for a third.”
“But next best thing, Jimmie is going to check all the stuff you great young men are going to send me. Jimmie knows what Jimmie likes, so Jimmie will choose the right young men and invite them to a dance on the beach – I’ll be there too. So think about why you want to be with me, type it in and send it to me. Gottit?”
Jimmie sat there staring at the screen. “I’m throwing out all those applications without a picture and all those with an ugly picture, also those without humour and those unable to laugh at themselves.”
“Hello everybody! We’ve been performing along the coast starting at De Panne, moving from town to town on the tram and today we are in Oostende on the beach. Hello Oostende!”
“Hello 9gals!”
“But before we continue with the performance Mrs Greatscan will find the young man in her life. You are asking where is she? I don’t know either. Let’s all shout:”
“Where are you, Mrs Greatscan?”
“I’m here.” A three-times-sized image of Mrs Greatscan with maybe twenty Jimmie-look-alikes appears above the stage. “I’m on the beach too with thirty Jimmies, I could hear your opening numbers in the distance.”
Mrs Greatscan walked around the Jimmies staring at them. She walked up to one of them and punched him in the chest. “Ug, why did you do that?”
“Love hurts!”
The Jimmie laughed and grabbed hold of Mrs Greatscan and the rest is history.
