``` Dig! The hipster is man who's in the know, grasps everything, is alert.

In the vortex of the future of that cool tomorrow land,
we'll all wig there, play a gig there, in that great non-union
band. Scooba doo and Scooba daba. Life's a gass and life's a
grabba. Hip is hip and groove is groovy. Life's a wild Fellini
movie. When that hairy fist of silence slugs us, bugs us, puts us
down... hmm, we'll all wing it, we'll all sing it: Guy Lombardos
back in town! ```
