I look like a slug!

[ Kaboom! ]

[ Cow moos ]

[ Rock music plays ]

You guys want another break?

We just had a break eight hours ago.

If we don't practice, we'll lose the talent show.

And losing isn't fun.

Being prepared is fun.

You guys want to have fun, right?

[ Echoing ] Right?!

You're crazy, and I'm afraid of you, and I quit.

Please don't hurt meeee!

I want to be a politician!

Forgive meeeee!

Dang, Lizzy.

You've really messed it up this time.

The talent show starts in just a few hours, and I've got no band.

Aw, heck.

[ Vehicle approaching ]

[ Crunch! ] Uncle Grandpa: [ Laughs ]

A real Mustard Con to remember.

So much mustard.

Some might say too much mustard.

Uncle service at your Grandpa.

Uncle Grandpa! Are you here to help me?

My band just quit on me, I'm a nervous wreck,

a-and the talent show is just in a few hours. Yeah. Uh, okay.

And I really need a good drummer

and a really good guitarist. Sure.

Oh! I know just the two guys.

Wait right here.

They're the best musicians who've ever lived.

Hoo, boy. What a lifesaver.

[ Grunting ]

[ Bzzt! ]

[ Electricity crackling ]

[ Tires screech ]

B-B-Buzz Osborne,

lead singer/guitarist of the Melvins?!

Oh, my gosh.

Hey, great to be here...

in a cartoon. [ Motorcycle approaching ]

What's that? Thanks for the ride, honey.

Dale Crover?

The other half of the hit rock group the Melvins?

Guten tag. Oh, whoa. This is too much.

Will you guys be in my band and help me win the talent show?

Sure. I don't see why not.

Anything to help out a kid.

[ Squeals ]

Oh, hey, Uncle Grandpa.

Thanks so much for getting the Melvins to help me.

[ Farting ] Uh...

Of course this is what I, uh, meant to happen.

Yeah.

Wait right there. [ Farting ]

Hey, guys.

So, uh, the Melvins showed up,

and they're going to be my sidekicks today, so, uh...

[ Inhales sharply ] Yeah, uh...

you go now.

Okay, so, I don't want to worry you,

but we have to win this talent show,

and we only have a few hours to practice,

so we have to get started right away.

Here's the guitar part for the song we're playing.

It follows common contemporary song structure,

which will please the judges without overwhelming them.

What do you think? Uh...

And, Dale, I'm not a drummer,

but I'm sure the judges wouldn't want anything too busy.

But don't make it boring. I was thinking something like...

kick, snare, kick, kick, tom roll, crash.

Change to 3/4, snare roll, crash, repeat. You know?

Yeah, this is gonna be great.

Real good. We can do this.

Ready, guys? One, two, three.

Hold on a sec, Lizzy.

You're way too high-strung. Yeah.

We need to get your mind off winning and have some fun.

[ Sighs ] You guys aremy heroes.

All right. Let's do it.

Let's have a tiny bit of fun before we practice.

Can I have fun, too? Sure.

You can be our roadie.

Yes! What's a roadie?

It's kind of like a caddie,

but for a rock star instead of a golfer.

Speaking of golf, grab those golf clubs and meet us out back.

Yes, sirs!

What's a caddie?

Fore!

[ Zing! ]

Gaah!

Still got it.

Roadie, fetch us another golf ball.

Yes, Your Rock Star Godliness, sir!

Give it a shot, Lizzy.

I just don't understand how playing golf

is gonna help me win the talent show.

Nothing helps your bass-playing skills

better than a backswing.

If you say so.

[ Zing! ]

Aah!

Hey, that waspretty fun.

Never question the wisdom of a rock star.

Ooh. Cat.

[ Yowls ]

Great idea, Dale.

Where's that roadie?

Yes, boss? I mean, Buzz.

We're gonna need you to fetch us some dogs, cats,

birds, whatever you can find. Aye, aye.

Sometimes, to help free our musical juices,

Dale and I give animals fashionable haircuts.

Dale, got the buzzer?

Sure do.

[ Straining ]

Hyuck! Hyuck!

Man, Dale Crover's weird.

You don't even know the half of it.

I gathered up all the neighborhood pets.

So, what will it be, bub? The usual?

[ Buzzing ]

Lookin' good.

What's up, bird?

You want some of this?

Stylin'.

Now you try, Lizzy.

Okay, but after this, we got to start practicing.

[ Buzzing ] He is kind of cute, though.

Remember, being in a band

isn't all about winning talent shows.

It's about being an eccentric rock star.

I'm a rock star!

[ Yowls ]

[ Yowling ]

Sometimes, it's refreshing to step away from music

and create with a different medium of art,

such as painting. Yeah, it is fun.

But did we have to flood my house? Yes.

Dale, how's yours coming along?

Swimmingly.

Good, clean, responsible fun.

[ Toilet flushes ]

Whee! [ Laughs ]

[ Harp plays ]

I haven't had this much fun in so long.

Made me forget all about that stupid talent show.

[ Gasps ] Oh, no! The stupid talent show.

It starts in 10 minutes. We're gonna be late.

Not to worry, little Lizzy.

Uncle Grandpa, get the Mel-van ready.

Yes, sir!

[ Tires screech ]

Dale and I are late to all our gigs.

The fans love it.

[ Groans ]

High-school talent show, here we come.

Dale Crover is weird.

[ Tires screech ]

[ Meows ]

-Boo! -Boo!

Get off the stage! Hiss!

Aah! Thank you, Kevin.

That was very...interesting.

I believe we have a musical group next

who go by the name of... Psst!

"'What are we going to call ourselves?'

'How about Lizzy Harrison and the Melvins?'

"Yeah, I like that.

Uncle Grandpa, are you writing this down?'"

Enjoy. [ Light applause ]

[ Man coughs ]

Psst. Lizzy.

Remember, loosen up and have fun.

We believe in you. Hit it, Dale.

[ Rock music plays ]

Thanks, duuude.

But can you step aside for a sec?

[ Music ends, cheers and applause ]

They like us.

Congratulations, Lizzy and the Melvins!

"You win first place"...

is what I would say if the Melvins

were students at this school.

But because they're not, you're disqualified.

[ Audience groans ]

I'm sorry, Lizzy. Are you kidding?

Today was the best.

I just played an amazing show with the Melvins.

I was so obsessed with winning,

I forgot why I started playing bass to begin with.

And I owe it all to you, Dale, and Uncle Grandpa.

Happy to help.

Then I guess our work here is done.

Now we can finally reveal our secret identity to you.

You guys are reptile creatures?

Don't be fooled by our true form.

We are a serene, gentle race.

And now we must go back to our peaceful planet.

[ Both roar ]

Whoa!

[ Both screech ]

Gonna be a tough act to follow.

[ Drum solo plays ]

Whew!

Mm, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh! Hey, there.

I'm just recording and producing the new Melvins album.

It's a pretty big deal.

Okay, guys, take five.

It all sounds good,

but I'm an industry-pro producerman,

so I have to make it sound even good-er.

[ Zip! ]

Hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm.

What are these, Daleford?

Uh...drums.

Oh! College boy, eh?

Hit this drum, please, Crover.

Wha-- [ Farting ]

[ Ting! ]

Not quite my tempo.

Tempo is actually the speed at which music --

I'll be with you in due course, Buzz...

if that is your real name.

Now hit it again.

[ Duck quacks ]

[ Farting ] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Shh.

Lookit. Aaahhh!

It's a good egg.

Let's see what yougot, hot shot.

Play "Mary Had a Little Lamb."

[ "Mary Had a Little Lamb" plays ]

[ Hoarsely ] Something still not quite right.

[ Whistle! ]

[ Buzzing ]

What do you think?

It's a little bare.

Pbbbhhhht!

[ Screeches ]

Hold still, please, Melvin.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Ha ha!

Man, I feel just like The Beatles.

What's The Beatles?

♪♪

That was quite delicious.
