"On a Clear Day"



Episode Summary:
Peter Platter puts on a "Rock Festival" in Tranquility Forest, featuring "all of Rock Land's leading performers". Benita Bizarre, however, isn't on the playlist. In order to get back at them, she throws "Benita Bizarre's Fabulous Rock Festival" at her jukebox. However, since Peter has all the bands in the land, booked up, Benita must devise a scheme to shut down the other party. When her car starts to spit out orange smog, she saturates Tranquility Forest with the gunk, and the Bugaloos must clean things up.

    If you become a Bugaloo
    There's so much more that you can do
    To make our world a better place to be

    Lift your wings and help us bring
    A little happiness

    You can share our castles in the air
    When you fly with us

    'Cause there's a lot more yet to happen
    Before the whole wide world is free

    And if you become a Bugaloo
    There's so much more that you can do
    To make our world a better place to be

    Lift your wings and help us sing
    A song of hopefulness

    There's still time to put the earth in rhyme
    If you try with us

    'Cause there's a lot more yet to happen
    Before the whole wide world is free

    And if you become a Bugaloo
    There's so much more that you can do
    To make our world a better place to be

Special thanks to Ramie Tateishi for transcribing the chords!!



Additional Notes:
Benita calls her Jukebox door-guard a "Freaked out Pheasant", again, where it's clearly a peacock.

Tranquility Forest, "Rock City" and Benita's Jukebox all appear to reside in "Rock Land", according to Peter's "Rock Festival" poster.

Bands named in this episode were: "The Electric Stomach Pumps", "Sammy Suds and the Litterbugs", "The Ingrown Hairs", "Blood, Sweat and Soap", and, of course, "The Bugaloos".

Honestly, the first half of Sparky's drum solo wasn't bad at all!!!
