1. Oh. That was the extended dance
version of Life's A Blur brought to you by,
Copy !req
2. Speed Metal Bubblegum.
Copy !req
3. For that searing burst of intense
flavor that only lasts a second.
Copy !req
4. Have Mum pick some up today.
Copy !req
5. Next up, Sonic Boom with Ahh!
Copy !req
6. Ahh!
Copy !req
7. Can you believe this music,
Spike? It's so awesome.
Copy !req
8. It has the power to unite youth, it
has the power to make a difference.
Copy !req
9. What's Speed Metal Gum?
Copy !req
10. It has the power to sell gum.
Copy !req
11. I'll tell you what. When you're ready,
I'll introduce you to some real music.
Copy !req
12. What do you mean, "real" music?
Copy !req
13. There's a joint I know,
down on the swamp,
Copy !req
14. where the mammals jam all night.
Copy !req
15. The swamp? That's on
the other side of the tracks.
Copy !req
16. Yeah, it's dangerous.
Copy !req
17. It's forbidden.
Copy !req
18. The kind of place your
parents never let you go.
Copy !req
19. - OK, I'm in.
- Alright.
Copy !req
20. - We'll have to sneak out.
- I'm telling.
Copy !req
21. - Difficult without a tongue.
- Oh.
Copy !req
22. - Telling what?
- They're going to the swamp.
Copy !req
23. And he's gonna
rip my tongue out!
Copy !req
24. Yeah, well, I'm with
you on the tongue thing.
Copy !req
25. - Hey!
- But, no son of mine
Copy !req
26. is going down to a smelly
swamp to mingle with mammals.
Copy !req
27. This was your idea,
wasn't it, rag-head?
Copy !req
28. Oh, Mr. S., look
upon it as culture.
Copy !req
29. You want young Robert to
be exposed to culture, don't ya?
Copy !req
30. Not a different culture. Swamp
mammals are an entirely different species.
Copy !req
31. They're hairy, dirty
and dangerous.
Copy !req
32. - Dad, you've never
even met one.
- It doesn't stop me from having
Copy !req
33. an uninformed, flagrantly
prejudiced opinion.
Copy !req
34. You're not going down to
any swamp, and that's final.
Copy !req
35. OK, Dad, you win.
Copy !req
36. - I do?
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Copy !req
37. But, would it be alright with
you if Spike and I went bowling?
Copy !req
38. Bowling? Great!
Copy !req
39. Hey, here.
Copy !req
40. Rent some good shoes.
Copy !req
41. Thanks, Dad.
Copy !req
42. - Bye.
- Adios.
Copy !req
43. Uh, we'll make sure
to bowl a strike for you.
Copy !req
44. Born to be a dad.
Copy !req
45. Alright, there it is.
This is gonna be fun.
Copy !req
46. - Yeah.
- Um... stay low.
Copy !req
47. Yes. Yeah.
Copy !req
48. - They are smoking tonight.
- Yeah, what a colorful
experience.
Copy !req
49. My horizons are
broadened, let's go home.
Copy !req
50. Oh? Well then, you're
going home alone.
Copy !req
51. OK, fine.
Copy !req
52. Uh...
Copy !req
53. Well, I'll just uh, go in
and... wait in the lobby.
Copy !req
54. Yeah.
Copy !req
55. Uh... howdy.
Copy !req
56. Honey, I'm home.
Copy !req
57. Aaah!
Copy !req
58. - Ohh!
- Ow!
Copy !req
59. - Ow!
- Ooh!
Copy !req
60. Aah!
Copy !req
61. You mind closing that door?
Copy !req
62. You're letting the bugs in.
Copy !req
63. Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
64. Much obliged, now where were we?
Copy !req
65. Oh, yeah, here we go.
Copy !req
66. One, two, three.
Copy !req
67. - Nice place.
- Shh.
Copy !req
68. Sing it, Daddy.
Copy !req
69. Ah, yeah.
Copy !req
70. Yeah.
Copy !req
71. Yeah! Whoo!
Copy !req
72. Thank you, thank you.
Copy !req
73. Alright. Yes.
Copy !req
74. Um... sorry.
Copy !req
75. Yeah.
Copy !req
76. Uh, does the phrase, "a modicum
of cool" mean anything to you?
Copy !req
77. - Here's another story
of tragedy.
- Tragedy!
Copy !req
78. - Pain.
- Pain!
Copy !req
79. - And loss,
that you might enjoy.
- Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
80. - I call it,
Gangrene Blues. Hit it.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
81. Alright. These guys jam.
Copy !req
82. I can't understand why dinosaurs
don't come down here in herds?
Copy !req
83. Well, as I recall, I practically
had to drag you in here by your tail.
Copy !req
84. Hey, Sonny, there's
Spike. Let's go and say hi.
Copy !req
85. Alright, yeah.
Copy !req
86. Alright, here comes Howlin'
Jay. He's a legendary swamper,
Copy !req
87. so be cool and show a
little respect for the guy.
Copy !req
88. Spike how are ya, you
big scaly, tail-dragging
Copy !req
89. skin-shedding, top-of-the-food-chain,
20-ton lizard scum!
Copy !req
90. Couldn't be better,
you fur-covered,
Copy !req
91. flea-bitten, lactating mammal!
Copy !req
92. Who's your girlfriend?
Copy !req
93. Ah, oh, ah, Howlin' Jay,
Copy !req
94. Sonny, I'd like you to meet a very
dear friend of mine, Robert Sinclair.
Copy !req
95. Uh, hi.
Copy !req
96. Uh...
Copy !req
97. Mr. Howlin', sir,
Copy !req
98. your music, it's so alive.
Copy !req
99. It's so vital, it's so,
uh... depressing.
Copy !req
100. - I don't know the guy.
- Mmm?
Copy !req
101. My mother's calling.
Copy !req
102. I guess that would
mean you like it?
Copy !req
103. What, are you kidding?
You should make a record.
Copy !req
104. - Dinosaurs would go crazy
for this.
- Did you hear that? A record!
Copy !req
105. - We already got a record.
- Hmm?
Copy !req
106. Most consecutive gigs
without getting paid.
Copy !req
107. We get along just
fine down here.
Copy !req
108. And I don't need you filling
my boy's head with crazy ideas.
Copy !req
109. - But, I like what he said.
- It stinks.
Copy !req
110. Listen, we got our
soggy, little world.
Copy !req
111. And the lizard,
well, he's got his.
Copy !req
112. The lizard?
Copy !req
113. - Pop calls all dinosaurs
"the lizard."
- Right.
Copy !req
114. It's a chance to change things.
Copy !req
115. Your music could bridge
the gap between species.
Copy !req
116. That's right.
Copy !req
117. All the world needs
is love, love, love.
Copy !req
118. Now, kiss my furry,
blue butt goodbye.
Copy !req
119. Listen... don't worry about Pop.
Copy !req
120. He's from a
different generation.
Copy !req
121. Me? I'm sick of this swamp.
Copy !req
122. I'm ready to move up. A
record just might do the trick.
Copy !req
123. But, Howlin' Jay said...
Copy !req
124. If a record company was interested,
he'd go along. Think they'd be interested?
Copy !req
125. - Well, I know how to find out.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
126. - Bad idea.
- But why?
Copy !req
127. Look, this is swamp music.
Copy !req
128. Take it out of the swamp, it ain't
swamp music anymore, capisce?
Copy !req
129. Their lives are terrible here. If they
sold records, they could make money.
Copy !req
130. We could move out. We
could get some things.
Copy !req
131. Look, Sinclair, everything in
life does not have to be a cause.
Copy !req
132. So, let's just give it a rest.
Copy !req
133. Alright, fine. No
record company.
Copy !req
134. But, would you mind if
Sonny and I went bowling?
Copy !req
135. - B-bowling?
- That's very funny.
Copy !req
136. Go on, go bowling if you want
to, but remember, I warned you.
Copy !req
137. Ah, it's not that I wouldn't mind
rolling a few frames with you, but,
Copy !req
138. - I have...
- Uh, n-n-no. You don't understand.
Copy !req
139. - It's a bad joke.
- Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
140. Woof. Oh, Trish, sweetheart,
Copy !req
141. I dropped my pencil again. Could
you bend over and pick it up for me?
Copy !req
142. Sure, right after I
call my attorney.
Copy !req
143. I was kidding. It was a joke.
Copy !req
144. You are so tense, let me
rub your shoulders a bit.
Copy !req
145. Another joke, lighten up.
Copy !req
146. I'm just trying to keep
the mood light and friendly.
Copy !req
147. - What do you want?
- Mr. Warner?
Copy !req
148. - Yes?
- The music
on this tape is so gutsy,
Copy !req
149. so vital, so new, that it's gonna
revolutionize the music business.
Copy !req
150. Not interested.
Copy !req
151. You said on TV you're
looking for exciting, new talent.
Copy !req
152. The public doesn't want new,
they want what they already know,
Copy !req
153. regurgitated, again
and again and again.
Copy !req
154. But, with different
chicks on the cover.
Copy !req
155. Now, get lost, kid. I'm busy.
Copy !req
156. I'm not leaving.
Copy !req
157. - What?
- This music's too important.
Copy !req
158. I'm staying on this couch
until you listen to this.
Copy !req
159. OK, couch-boy.
Copy !req
160. I'll listen to your tape,
cause you remind me of me
Copy !req
161. before I sold out.
Copy !req
162. - You got spunk, you got guts.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
163. You got a blue, furry thing
behind you, get me a shoe!
Copy !req
164. No, that's Sonny.
He's in the band.
Copy !req
165. I play guitar, do
some arranging.
Copy !req
166. - We're talking
about a mammal record?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
167. I don't make mammal records.
Copy !req
168. I want you and you out
of the reception area.
Copy !req
169. Trish, call the cops... or
the pound, or something.
Copy !req
170. - Do it.
- You're making a big mistake.
Copy !req
171. Yeah, kid, I'm
making the mistake.
Copy !req
172. I got a wall full of mistakes.
Copy !req
173. Let's get outta here.
Copy !req
174. Mistakes that bought
me three houses.
Copy !req
175. Count 'em, kid. Don't you tell
me my business, you little punk kid.
Copy !req
176. Imagine me making
mammal records, rotten kids.
Copy !req
177. Trish, pop this into your
Dictaphone and tape over it!
Copy !req
178. I'll be in my office. Oh,
what I headache I've got.
Copy !req
179. Hmm.
Copy !req
180. Maybe Pop was right.
Copy !req
181. Maybe we'll never get a
fair shake from the lizard.
Copy !req
182. Don't talk that way or
we'll never get anywhere.
Copy !req
183. - Yeah.
- You again?
Copy !req
184. You're not laying more of that "fame
and fortune" nonsense on Sonny, are you?
Copy !req
185. - We were just talking.
- You can stop talking now,
Copy !req
186. cause nobody wants to hear it.
Copy !req
187. And the band's gonna
play. So, hush up!
Copy !req
188. - Huh?
- No. Don't stop.
Copy !req
189. This is what I love.
It's vital, it's raw.
Copy !req
190. It's primitive. You! Mineral
water with a twist, now!
Copy !req
191. - Who is this guy?
- Ty Warner, Volcanic Records.
Copy !req
192. - Dig your sounds.
- Wow.
Copy !req
193. A record executive, Pop. Looks
like we've been discovered.
Copy !req
194. Somebody's been discovered.
Copy !req
195. Mr. Jay, I have to tell you,
Copy !req
196. I was totally "jazzed"
Copy !req
197. by what I heard
on your demo tape.
Copy !req
198. Can I call you Howlin'?
Copy !req
199. - No.
- Very colorful.
Copy !req
200. That song was
bold, it was original.
Copy !req
201. And totally unique.
Copy !req
202. I want... ten more just like it.
Copy !req
203. Sinclair, what is going on here?
Copy !req
204. Uh, Mr. Warner wants
to make a swamp record.
Copy !req
205. I told you dinosaurs
would love your music.
Copy !req
206. I told you to mind
your own business.
Copy !req
207. - Oh, no, Pop, please.
- Howlin' Jay,
it's gonna work out.
Copy !req
208. Hey, Howlin', listen to the kid.
Copy !req
209. Trust me, I only
care about you, babe.
Copy !req
210. Whoo!
Copy !req
211. That's right, y'all.
Copy !req
212. Yeah!
Copy !req
213. It's gold! Look at
it glisten. Ha-ha!
Copy !req
214. I'm telling you, there is
a dynamism in this room.
Copy !req
215. It's electrical, it's chemical,
Copy !req
216. it's... electro-chemical.
Copy !req
217. - Mr. Warner?
- Yes?
Copy !req
218. When are we gonna get paid
for all this music we're playing?
Copy !req
219. Rest assured, the monies
are being appropriated
Copy !req
220. and probably channeled as we
speak, oh, my gosh, look at the time.
Copy !req
221. I gotta go. Peace.
Copy !req
222. - Yeah.
- Oh, you guys sounded great.
Copy !req
223. - Oh...
- Just did what it is we do.
Copy !req
224. Ah, don't be so modest,
things are looking up.
Copy !req
225. Even you have to admit that.
Copy !req
226. All I'm gonna admit is...
Copy !req
227. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
228. Hey.
Copy !req
229. How about we go back to my
house for a celebration dinner?
Copy !req
230. My mom's a great cook.
Copy !req
231. Listen, Robbie, thanks
for the thought, but...
Copy !req
232. - I'm not sure
that's a good idea.
- No.
Copy !req
233. Yeah, Robbie, we... we
don't wanna trouble your folks.
Copy !req
234. No no no.
Copy !req
235. Why would my folks mind having
Copy !req
236. over a group of talented, soon-to-be
world famous recording artists?
Copy !req
237. Oh, Ma? Guess who's
coming to dinner?
Copy !req
238. Uh...
Copy !req
239. Awful quiet.
Copy !req
240. Huh?
Copy !req
241. You don't look like us.
Copy !req
242. Your folks never had
mammals over for dinner?
Copy !req
243. All the time! They're yummy.
Copy !req
244. Hmm?
Copy !req
245. Don't kids say the
darnedest things?
Copy !req
246. Uh... Mr. And Mrs. Sinclair,
Copy !req
247. uh... thanks for
the hospitality,
Copy !req
248. but, I can see this
was a mistake, uh...
Copy !req
249. - we should leave.
- Oh, don't rush off.
Copy !req
250. They're quite welcome to
rush if they want to, dear.
Copy !req
251. I apologize. My boy
dragged us all into this.
Copy !req
252. Uh, he doesn't quite
understand how the world works.
Copy !req
253. Oh, don't blame your boy.
This is all my son's fault.
Copy !req
254. He thinks all the species should get
together and work out their differences.
Copy !req
255. - He's got no sense.
- My boy's worse.
Copy !req
256. Mouthing off about how we're all
basically the same under the skin.
Copy !req
257. And we all have so
much in common.
Copy !req
258. - The big dummy.
- Yeah, I couldn't agree more.
Copy !req
259. My kid, the idiot,
Copy !req
260. thinks if everyone sits
down at the same table
Copy !req
261. somehow they'll all get along.
Copy !req
262. Dopes.
Copy !req
263. - Hey, pass the rolls, Earl.
- You got it, pal.
Copy !req
264. How about that? They
found some common ground.
Copy !req
265. Yeah, parents are the
same the world over.
Copy !req
266. No matter what their
race, creed or color,
Copy !req
267. they all hate their kids.
Copy !req
268. So, Earl, it seems as though
you and Howlin' Jay really hit it off.
Copy !req
269. Yeah. You know, he's actually
an upright-type family guy,
Copy !req
270. despite a life spent playing
juke joints for free beer.
Copy !req
271. Robbie, you've made some
wonderful new friends. Robbie?
Copy !req
272. Can you imagine?
Copy !req
273. Honest
Copy !req
274. I'm a mammal, baby.
Copy !req
275. Robbie, what's the matter?
Copy !req
276. You look like you've seen
something you cherished
Copy !req
277. horribly cheapened and degraded.
Copy !req
278. You sold us out!
Copy !req
279. Absolutely untrue.
Copy !req
280. I saw Perry Lewellen
on TV last night.
Copy !req
281. OK, I did. But, there's
a very good reason.
Copy !req
282. I made an obscene
amount of money.
Copy !req
283. What about Sonny
and Howlin' Jay?
Copy !req
284. Nobody wants to
listen to mammals.
Copy !req
285. Lewellen's been
around, he's beloved.
Copy !req
286. He knows how to
interpret mammal material
Copy !req
287. in a way that's
accessible to reptiles.
Copy !req
288. That's stealing!
Copy !req
289. Ah, tomato, tomato...
Copy !req
290. it's all semantics.
Copy !req
291. What am I supposed to tell them?
They're counting on that money.
Copy !req
292. Oh, I'd stay clear
of that group.
Copy !req
293. Those little furballs
have very sharp teeth.
Copy !req
294. And when they realize
you sold them out,
Copy !req
295. well, it won't be pretty.
Copy !req
296. Wow, 12 channels
and it's all snow.
Copy !req
297. - I'm entertained.
- Give me a minute.
Copy !req
298. I don't know why you
bought that darned thing.
Copy !req
299. If you ask me, you're
all a bunch of fools.
Copy !req
300. Spending money we don't
even have on a new TV.
Copy !req
301. Yeah, but we're gonna
get paid real soon.
Copy !req
302. - Yeah, yeah.
- Ain't that right?
Copy !req
303. We'll get paid real soon,
Copy !req
304. and, in the meantime, we might as
well enjoy the good life... on credit.
Copy !req
305. Right.
Copy !req
306. Guys, there's
something I gotta tell ya.
Copy !req
307. Wait, hold it, hold it.
Something's coming in.
Copy !req
308. Swamp music, as you've
never heard it before.
Copy !req
309. Interpreted by the incomparable
Perry "Golden Adenoids" Lewellen.
Copy !req
310. Look, that's what I
was about to tell you.
Copy !req
311. Warner gave all the songs
to Lewellen. He ripped us off.
Copy !req
312. You mean he ripped us off.
Copy !req
313. That was our music he stole.
Copy !req
314. Not that anyone
would recognize it.
Copy !req
315. Is that a cello?
Copy !req
316. Dad, you were right
about the reptiles.
Copy !req
317. Deal with a lizard and you get
burned. I'll never leave the swamp again.
Copy !req
318. - I hate...
- Shh. I wanna hear this.
Copy !req
319. The number one selling
album on the supercontinent
Copy !req
320. by the king of swamp music.
Copy !req
321. It's Perry's Swinging
Swamp Party.
Copy !req
322. Due to overwhelming demand,
allow six weeks for delivery.
Copy !req
323. Will you look at that? That fool's
making money with our music.
Copy !req
324. - Yeah, we got shafted.
- I know that.
Copy !req
325. - But you're missing
the big picture.
- Huh?
Copy !req
326. If he can sell records
doing that to our music,
Copy !req
327. imagine what we can do,
giving the folks the real thing.
Copy !req
328. But, you can't trust the lizard.
Copy !req
329. Forget the lizard. I spent a lifetime
moaning about what the lizard did to me.
Copy !req
330. Now, I'm starting to hear the
same thing out of your mouth.
Copy !req
331. And I don't like it.
Copy !req
332. But what are we supposed to do?
Copy !req
333. The lizard won't
ever give us a break.
Copy !req
334. Then we make our own break.
Copy !req
335. No reason we can't cut our own
records and sell them ourselves.
Copy !req
336. You know, a mammal-owned
record company.
Copy !req
337. - Oh.
- Yeah, Howlin' Jay's right.
Copy !req
338. We don't have to stop at records.
We can merchandise all kinds of stuff.
Copy !req
339. - Like what?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
340. Hey, how about
Howlin' Jay's hat?
Copy !req
341. Yeah.
Copy !req
342. Uh... maybe we should
just stick with the records.
Copy !req
343. Oh, no. This is
brilliant. We start small.
Copy !req
344. When the music catches
on, we branch out.
Copy !req
345. Open our own stores,
produce our own videos.
Copy !req
346. We could change the
face of the music industry.
Copy !req
347. Of course, by "we,"
Copy !req
348. I mean you guys exclusively
and not me, in anyway whatsoever.
Copy !req
349. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
350. Greetings, swinging cats.
Copy !req
