“Attack of the Monster Tongue”
Written by Frederick Passmore and Jon Lawhon
Copyright 1998 by Sheep Laughs Records
Looking for something short but hard-hitting and fall-down funny? Why not perform our radio hit song with skit elements, “Attack of the Monster Tongue?” Lots of others around the country have; puppet teams, singing groups, drama teams, and more. You’ll cackle and chortle over this story of Gossips Gone Wild! About 4-6 minutes long.
Soundtrack key: BOTH OPTIONS ARE ON THE CD: NO LINES TO LEARN –OR– You do your own lines and the CD supplies the background music and sound effects.
The soundtrack supplies BOTH a fully-produced version of the song which you can act out to or use as a puppet skit AND three versions of the background music and sound effects to the song, so you can choose what level of involvement you desire when performing. ALSO, there are tracks to use for the SKIT PERFORMANCE where you do your own lines and the soundtrack supplies the music and sound effects.
NOTE: There are two versions of the script; the Song Version, and the Skit Version. Both scripts come in the package when you purchase it, and the soundtracks supply everything you need to perform both.
Length of song: 4 minutes
Length of skit: 6-8 minutes
Number of cast: Song can be done solo, or with up to 6 other actors. Longer Skit needs 6 actors.

(A general description of the script; not all details or scenes are here, but it gives you an overall picture of what it is like.)
In this song/skit hybrid, mixing elements of a skit (narration, dialog and sound effects) with music and lyrics, the evil of gossip is personified in the form of a rampaging monster, in the style of a 50’s monster movie!
As the song progresses, a statement by a busybody about the new pastor gets more distorted and damaging as it is passed along from person to person. Finally, when it gets back to the busybody who started it, she gets a humorous comeuppance when the pastor comes to confront the gossip at its source.

Read some of the testimonials about the script from just a few of the many users:
“Attack of the Monster Tongue” is so funny! We are going to perform it at our church auction on Sept. 21. Every single person who has read the script and listened to the CD has gone nuts! They have all asked me… WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?!! I have to say the scripts I have read of yours are so good. They are quality material. I am the drama minister for our church and I haven’t done anything for so long because I can’t find anything worthwhile to do. Our society is bombarded with so much sophisticated entertainment with TV/Radio/Movies etc…. That they just don’t accept mediocre material. I’m sorry, but when I do a drama for God it has to be superior, not mediocre, and that is what I have been finding in the Christian scripts that I have read. I wish I could write, but I can’t. I have to rely on outside sources. So what a joy and relief to find your website. Please write more.
Thank so much! A sense of humor is a gift from God!

Hello Fred!
The Deliverance Church for Christ in Philadelphia, Pa will be doing your script “Attack of the Monster Tongue” on Sunday 10/24 or Sunday 11/01.
I am really impressed with your site and your scripts. Thank you! I have read a couple of your scripts and really enjoy this one. I think it is perfect for this time of year. The message is one that will never grow old. It is well written. Your ability to use humor to share a sometimes difficult topic is amazing. I look forward to using this script.

Lots of laughs-thank you- thank you- thank you!!!
I used Mama’s Close Call, Attack of the Monster Tongue, Testimony Show (at a church Ladies meeting in November) New Years Eve at the Bad Habit Club,” (at our New Years Eve Service) Battle of the Sexes (at our Valentine Banquet) “Pastors Barbeque” was used at another meeting and every single one of them was a HUGE HIT! I know the actors make the skits really work but without you providing the Scripts and Soundtracks they wouldn’t know what to say or act. Buying the scripts and soundtracks was worth every dime. I also like that you don’t need a lot of supplies or scenery to make them work.
You have truly been a blessing to me and my church. Thank you very much!!!! Your ministry is so needed.
KEEP ON KEEPING ON!

Fred,
The Zionsville Presbyterian Church of Zionsville, IN will be performing “Attack of the Monster Tongue” on October 13 for the Women’s Great Banquet Skit. We’ve had a great time rehearsing and it has been so easy to sync to the CD music and sound effects. We can’t wait for our guests to see it. What a great web resource!
Fred-
Thank you so much for sharing your skit scripts with all of us. It has been such a blessing! Our church loved the “Attack of the Monster Tongue” and are asking for more. To put in bluntly, you make me look good:) Your skits are truly funny. I don’t have to worry about hearing the quiet cricket sound at the end of the skit! Sincere thanks!

Hi, Fred!
My name is Jay, and I am emailing you to let you know that a small group in our church will be performing the song/skit “Attack of the Monster Tongue” at our camp on Thursday, July 15. Our church is located in Larimore, North Dakota, about 30 miles west of Grand Forks, ND. I and my family just want to let you know how much we appreciate and love your website. The skits are absolutely fabulous, and the web design is wonderful. Thank you for your service to the Lord!
Fred,
We are going to be doing “Attack of The Monster Tongue” & “The Creature In The Closet” on October 3rd. Some of us women did the “The Red Tie Club” for a Women’s Retreat and it was a great success, so we ended up doing it here at our assembly and letting the young people put it on. It was a success as well!
Thanx for all you do in this area of your lives. I think they are great!

WHAT WE OFFER:
Dramatic Plays:
Our plays range from 20 minutes all the way up to 80 minutes. They are written to engage the viewer, make them think, to impact the emotions, and present the Gospel in such a way that they perceive it as meeting the needs of their life. The aim is to bless the believer, and give the person that has never made a decision for Christ a desire to invite Him into their life.
Comedic Skits:
Our skits range in length from 5 minutes up to 20 minutes. While most are comedic in nature, using humor to impart a perspective that may not have been considered, the laughs are all tied into the message, and there is always a resolution that leads the viewer into consideration of the Truth contained in it. The humor can be enjoyed by all ages.
Soundtracks:
The soundtracks that we make to accompany the scripts add drama and emotional impact to the script’s performance. There are two different kinds of script and soundtrack; the kind where you do the lines live and the soundtrack is played at certain times during the performance; and second, the kind that supplies all the narration, music and effects mixed together to play as the actors perform, with no lines to learn. Each script description page tells you which kind it is under the “Soundtrack Key.”
