01x16 - Gravity Groove

[bunniefuu]

(light rock music)

- Now you try it.

- Okay, Shock, let's do it.

(rhythmic groove music)

- Whoa, whoa, got you.

- Oh, thanks, Shock.

(gasping)

Whoa, whoa (grunts).

(skateboard wheels grinding)

- This is totally unfair.

If it weren't for Shock, we'd

win this dance off easily.

(guitar music)

Carl, do you remember

why I choose you to be

my dance partner?

(harp music)

Why won't anyone dance with me?

(bells music)

Hey, you, dance with me.

- Okay.

(harp music)

'Cause I was the only one

who would dance with you

and you intimidated

me into doing it.

- What?

No, I chose you because I

like your Skeleckian moves.

So, let's move

ahead with our plan.

Have you got the stuff?

(suspenseful music)

- I don't know if this

is such a good idea.

- Oh Carl.

I know everyone

(piano music)

is so nice on Planet Skelecky

but you're on Earth now.

We play by my rules here.

(guitar music)

(suspenseful music)

Sunblock, perfect.

Come on.

- And you know,

and thanks, Shock,

you know, really thank

you for being my partner.

You know, I've always dreamed

of winning this contest and--

- Hey guys.

This is Carl, my dance partner.

We just came by to

wish you guys luck.

- Thanks, Francine.

- Oh Shock, your legs

look a little red.

- [Shock] Oh yeah,

I hadn't noticed.

- Here, use my sunblock.

It's best to be safe.

Well, see you at the dance off.

We'll be the ones

holding the trophy.

Bye.

(can spraying)

- She thinks she's so great.

Shock, you ready

to win this thing?

(loud stomping)

Shock, are you alright?

- Uh huh.

(suspenseful music)

Eew rit, hey you guys?

Oh oh

Come on yeah

Yo and what it is

Feel the power,

Plug it in everybody

Electric company,

Electric company

Electric company

(electronics beeping)

(groove music)

(loud stomping)

- Shock, I can take your place.

Are you sure you

wanna work like this?

- It's okay, I'll be fine.

(loud stomping)

- Man, Shock doesn't

look so good.

- It happened all of a sudden.

He was dancing so

gracefully and now

he's moving around like

his feet are in cement.

- Let me see what

I can find online.

Okay, there's a

Skeleckian website

for some thing

called Gravity Spray.

This spray makes your

legs really heavy

when traveling in outer space.

- Wait a second.

You know Francine's

dance partner is from

the planet Skelecky.

There's a connection.

- There's a video.

(groove music)

- Why is it that when I

travel to other planets,

I keep floating off the ground?

- [Man] It has to

do with gravity.

- Who said that?

- [Man] Don't worry about it.

Gravity is the force that

pulls us towards the ground.

But some planets don't

have much gravity.

- Oh, so what do I do now?

- [Man] You need Gravity Spray.

Gravity Spray is the only spray

that gives you more gravity.

- Whoa.

I'm not floating anymore.

Thank you Gravity Spray.

- [Man] In most cases Gravity

Spray works for six hours.

After six hours,

simply reapply spray.

Ask your doctor if Gravity

Spray is right for you.

Side effects may include heavy

legs and terrible dancing.

Never use Gravity Spray

on planets with strong

gravitational pulls

like planet Earth.

(funky guitar music)

- So, Shock,

(suspenseful music)

you're gonna be like

this for six hours.

- Oh, I'll be okay.

I don't think we're

gonna win though.

(funky guitar music)

- Lisa.

- I'm sorry, I've

gotta get out of here.

- Yo, yo Lisa.

Are you alright?

- It's not fair.

Francine cheated and now

we're never gonna win.

- Come on, Lisa, are

you really gonna let

Francine Carruthers

get the best of you?

(groove music)

Don't ever give up,

don't ever lay down

Don't let a

chance pass you by

You may not win, but

you're sure to lose

If you don't even

give it a try

And if you get stuck and

you can't find the answer

When everyone is

counting on you

Take a deep breath and

believe in yourself

And remember the one

thing that you have to do

Step up

Yeah work on through it

Go on and get in

the game and play

Yeah you can do it, step up

dig in and you will find a way

Now you've seen

trouble before

But you always

made it through

'Cause you believed in

yourself like I believe in you

So what are you gonna do

Step up, yeah,

work on through it

Go on and get in

the game and play

Step up, yeah I can do it

Step up, dig in and

you will find a way

Step up

- You're right.

I am not gonna let Francine

get the best of me.

We are gonna dance in that

contest and we may not win

but we are gonna

give it our best try.

(groove music)

- [Woman] Err.

(groove music)

- You are getting

sleepy, sleepy, okay.

Now meet my fried, Bossy R.

(clock ticking)

Whenever you come

before the letter R,

you will change your sound.

A, you make the ah sound like

in cat.

(cat meowing)

But R change will

change you to ar

like in car.

(car horn honking)

E, you make the eh sound

like in hen.

(hen cackling)

But R will change you to er

like in her.

I, you make the ih sound,

like in sit, but R

will change you to ir

like in sir.

O, you make the ah

sound like in spot,

but R will change you to or

like in sport.

(audience applauding)

And you U, yes you, U,

you make the uh sound

like in fun.

(harp strumming)

But R will change you to ur

like in fur.

Everybody got that?

Okay, now when I snap my

fingers, when ever you come

before an R, you will change

your sound forever and ever,

no backsies, no kidding.

(drum rolling)

Okay R, now you can boss

all the vowels around.

- [Man] Err err.

(groove music)

(monkeys grunting)

(fast groove music)

- Uh uh uh uh, bu bu bu.

Ssst, bust.

Bust.

- [Man] Err.

- Err, burst.

Burst.

Khoo.

Eh, eh, eh, eh, ge,

ge, ge, hmm, gem.

Gem.

- [Man] Err.

- Err, germ.

Germ.

(siren ringing)

(groove music)

(monkeys grunting)

(groove music)

- This is someone who gets

to work outside a lot.

It starts with an

F, fe, ah, fa, err

Ferrer, oh wait that's

a bossy R with that A.

So, the A isn't going

to make the ah sound,

it's going to make the ar sound.

So, far, farm, eh, hold on.

There's another

bossy R at that end.

So, the R will make

the E-R into err.

Farmer, farmer.

(groove music)

- Ff.

- Ar.

Far.

- [Man] Far.

- How's that for a bossy R word?

- It was good, let's

see what else you have.

- Ff.

- Or.

For.

- [Man] For.

- Ff.

- Ur.

Fur.

- [Man] Fur.

- St.

- Ir.

Stir.

- [Man] Stir.

- St.

- Ars.

Starts.

- [Man] Stars.

Ah, I love stars.

(groove music)

- Dancing is all

about timing, okay.

It's about getting the right

moves at the right time.

Shock's timing has changed,

which means that your timing

has to change too.

- Okay, so what do I do?

- Uh, try this.

You see the work, ooh.

You do it, okay?

Let's try this.

And step.

And step.

And step.

Good, good, now

let's try a hop okay.

And hop.

And hop, yeah excellent timing.

- Thanks.

- So, we'll practice our dance

a few more times (laughs).

As if we'll need it, right?

- Yes, as if.

(laughing)

- Carl, stop laughing.

- Oh totally.

- How did she

learn how to dance?

- And pivot.

And pivot.

- [Lisa] Oh oh.

- You got it.

- Ooh.

- And now she can pivot?

(suspenseful music)

I should have known.

Hector is helping them.

Can't let this happen.

Have you got anymore

of that Gravity Spray?

- Yes but I've been thinking.

Isn't this cheating?

- Yes, Carl, but if

we don't spray her,

then we'll be cheating me

out of my chance to win.

Ever think of it that way?

- Not till just now.

(groove music)

- Nice.

(suspenseful music)

(groove music)

- Walk.

Walk.

Walk.

- [Man] Walk?

- [Lisa] Walk.

- [Man] No, Lisa.

- Stomp, okay.

(can spraying)

Hector, did you see?

I was graceful, my

timing was perfect.

(loud stomping)

- Oh, oh.

I've got the heavy legs.

- It was a trap by Francine.

- The dance is in minutes.

- Now, what?

- We step up.

(guitar strumming)

(groove music)

She so buff

I never met a vowel that

didn't like my swing

Is it 'cause I'm so sassy

The way I do my thang

I like to shake things up,

I like a sound that's new

I ain't satisfied

with changing A

I want E, I, O, and U,

that's right I'm bossy

Oh yeah, she's Bossy R,

you better do what she says

Yes, and I'm a star

A little miss Bossy R,

her way is the only way

Wow, a bossy R, she's

got a brand new sound

A little missy bossy all,

she'll turn your vowels around

Let me introduce my

background singers

Each one has a gift

But they all sound so

much better with me ha

You catch my drift

Without me there

to make them pretty

They would just be lost

A consonant like me to

show those poor vowels

Who's the boss,

that's right I'm bossy

Standing in the back,

I'm on the short A track

Next to bossy R my sound

changes from ah to ar

So, now when I sing my part

I sure enough sound smart

A car, it's an art

Come on O

It's my ah, it's simple yes

sirrey I like my sound a lot

Tell the bossy

gets a hold of me

And I change right on

the spot, what a sport

I've got scores,

sounds galore

I had to run and

tell my neighbor

This O's got a brand

new flavor, flavor

You see how I change the

sound from cat to cart

Or from pat to part

Oh y'all get it, this is

so much fun, she's so bossy

Oh, it was set,

we weren't a hit

You can be we didn't fit

Our hangs were tied

but still we tried

To make the best of it

Then Bossy came around

and changed our sounds

And put us on the

mic, that's right

Now when we're next to her

E and I sound

just like, yeah

E and I make two different

sounds till I come around

I change the I sound

from fist to first

And the E to gem

to germ, you see

Pardon if I blush, blush

But I can't help

but gush, gush

'Cause I'm so

thrilled with Bossy

That I swear I might

just bust, or burst

Change is up to her,

so bun can become burn

Yes with that R I'm happy

that I always get my turn

Oh bossy, oh yeah

she's Bossy R

You better do what she

says, you see I'm a star

A little missy Bossy R,

her way is the only way

Oh I'm bossy, Bossy R

She's got a brand new sound

Got a brand new sound

A little miss Bossy R, she'll

turn your vowels around

Oh yeah

(groove music)

(easy listening music)

- I'd like a pet please.

- How about a nice

bull?

(snoring)

- I'd like something

that doesn't snore.

- Oh, here's

something that doesn't

snore, eh.

(horn blowing)

- That's not a pet.

That just keeps score.

- Keeping score is important.

- Are there any normal

pets in this store?

- Yes, I'll give you the

most normal pet in the store.

Ha ha, there, your

very own shore.

- I can't take care of a shore.

- Uh, here shore, here

boy, come here, sit.

(groove music)

- Are y'all ready

for the dance off?

(audience cheering)

Can't hear you.

(audience cheering)

- Sun's a little bright.

Let us know if you

need anymore sunscreen.

Carl, Carl, tell them to stop.

Carl?

That's right,

electric, come on

So get up, sway to left of

you, can you feel it, yeah

(groove music)

Now once upon a

time not long ago

When people read books

and lived life slow

There was a bossy

letter by the name of R

And anywhere she went,

vowels acted bizarre

She was sitting in the part

with her friend letter A

And when it got dark,

this is what she'd say

I think you need

a brand new star

You sound different in

cat than you do in cart

When we stick together

we can go so far

If you go from ah to ar

Letter A turned

and said I see

Wouldn't you rather be

with your friend letter E

She asked so different

when you're with her

So instead of way, we

get the way we were

From eh to er,

from ah, to ar

Then they turned around

and guess who they saw

O, the vowel on

a nearby tower

With a round little

face and angry scowl

She said no, no R,

can't take anymore

I sound so different

than I did before

I was O for sho,

now I sound like or

Please go away,

you are such a bore

(b*at boxing)

(groove music)

- Hey, I'm Mark

Echo, I'm an artist.

I've always had a ton of energy.

As a kid, I couldn't

even sit still.

I drew and painted on

everything, and I still do.

Energy, energy, energy.

It's like a ball bouncing

around inside of me,

from my head to my toes.

And the only way to get

it out is to get it out.

It's the spark that makes me go.

Where do you put your energy?

(groove music)

- That looks delicious.

- Don't touch my cake.

I'm setting up for

a birthday party.

- Hey old man, some birds

are eating your cake.

- [Man] What?

- Some birds are

eating your cake.

- I don't see any birds.

- Well, some birds

were eating your cake.

- I think we both know

who was eating my cake.

- They were, they

were right there.

(birds chirping)

- Sorry I doubted you.

(groove music)

(b*at boxing)

You are there, you are there

You were there,

you were there

You were here, you were here

You are here, you are here

(b*at boxing)

(groove music)

- [Man] Hired special

agent, Jack Bowser.

- I'm going circles here.

This place is about

to explode and I can't

cr*ck the code to get out.

Help me read this.

Hamster, hamsters ae

faster than turtles.

They were born to run.

Hamsters are faster

than turtles.

They were born to run.

- Shock, are you ready?

- Ready.

- Where you guys going?

- Oh, we're giving dance

lessons over at the school.

- You're what?

- Yeah, there's a huge demand

to learn the Gravity Groove.

We're teaching the

whole neighborhood.

- Yes, what would be awesome.

- We'll send your

first student right in.

- Okay, bye guys.

- See ya.

- Bye.

- Their what (chuckles)?

Ah.

Are you here for a

Gravity Groove lesson?

- Uh hmm.

- Alright, the secret

to the Gravity Groove

is you have to dance heavy.

So, imagine that you've

eaten a thousand bananas.

- Mmhmm.

(groove music)
