Good evening everyone and welcome
To the United States of America
And indeed we have congregated here at this time
To celebrate a most treasured wellspring of contemporary music

It is the sound which historians in the far future might catalog
Under twentieth century pre-light-emitting-diode euphoric
But today the sound lives and tonight is sampled exclusively
For your entertainment pleasure

From the music capitals of this continent
This is the hard hitting show band of Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues
Ladies and gentlemen, these are The Blues Brothers
