Kim Fowley: Cherie Currie! Welcome. You look great. What song are you going to sing for us today?
Cherie Currie: Um, "Fever".
Kim Fowley: "Fever"?
Lita Ford: A Peggy Lee song?
Sandy West: Who's Peggy Lee?
Joan Jett: My mom likes Peggy Lee.
Lita Ford: Kim, you should have told her. We don't play that shit.
Cherie Currie: Suzi Quatro covered "Fever".
Lita Ford: It's a slow song. We don't play slow songs.
Joan Jett: Well, can you do a different song?
Cherie Currie: Yeah, it's just the only one I learned for today.
Kim Fowley: [interrupts] Go! Wait outside. Go. Go!

Joan Jett: Yeah.
Kim Fowley: She's a wild girl. She's a, oh she's a firecracker. Give me something else. Something else. Firecracker, rocket, bomb, bomb. Cherry bomb! Cherry bomb.
[Joan changes guitar riff]
Kim Fowley: Do it again. She's a ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb! Ahh!
Joan Jett: [laughs] That's good!
Kim Fowley: Yeah. Cherry bomb, right. Hello daddy.
Joan Jett: Hello mom? I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb! That's good!
Kim Fowley: Right? Yeah!
